Episode 14 - At First Sight | THEY MADE ICEMAN BORING

It's back to the work of Dr Oliver Sacks for episode 14, as Nick and Stephen dive into 1999's At First Sight. In this adaptation of Dr Sacks's essay 'To See and Not See,' a blind Val Kilmer has his sense of sight surgically restored, but finds himself with a major neurological impairment - he is unable to make sense of anything he can see. The movie gets points for its representation of visual agnosia and Nineties nostalgia, but what else does it have to offer? Does it live up to its spiritual predecessor, Awakenings?

Note: This was recorded in October 2021, but for various reasons, wasn't released until now, so it has the format of the previous recurring segments.
