Welcome back to another episode of AMERICAPLUS! I'm your host, Cole McCormick, and today we're diving into a cinematic journey that has been years in the making. It's a beautiful September evening, and I'm thrilled to share my thoughts on Francis Ford Coppola's latest film, Megalopolis.

Megalopolis is a Roman epic set in a fictional version of New York called New Rome. It's a genre-bending, reality-bending film that draws parallels between the fall of Rome and modern America. With a star-studded cast including Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Dustin Hoffman, Adam Driver, and Giancarlo Esposito, this film is a complex and challenging masterpiece that requires multiple viewings to fully absorb. Join me as I unpack the layers of this film, discuss its reception, and explore the broader implications of its themes. Whether you're a film buff or someone interested in societal questions, Megalopolis is a film that deserves your attention.
