"On today's podcast, we're playfully powering up a risqué and intellectually stimulation discussion on "The Creator" and "Ex Machina," where we probe the depths of AI's seductive intellect and pull the plug on our usual inhibitions to uncover what really turns on these cinematic masterpieces." ~ Written by ChatGPT   Ex Machina discussion begins at 01:33:30

This week we're headed to Los Angeles sometime in the near future. Will it be full of utopian nerds who are gonna get MDK'd, or will it be full of lonely sad sacks desperate for any feeling of connection?  Why not both?!   Her conversation starts at 01:25:15

This week we're wrapping up spooky month by talking about myths and stories and the power they have.  Is it possible to keep a slasher alive for generations through belief?
