Ex Machina (2014) | Ep. 36 - Part 2

The film won an Oscar for visual effects while spending almost nothing, beating the year's biggest spectacles. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, picking up at Ava's quietly chilling endgame.

We dig into the crew behind the film — Garland's screenplay, the unsettling score, and the seamless, award-winning effects work behind Ava — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores. And, yes, that dance scene.

For how the test begins — Garland, the cast, the first half — head to Part 1.
