In which the Mister and I check out AFTER YANG (2021), which we caught on Prime Video.  From the short story "Saying Goodbye to Yang" from the book "Children of the New World" by Alexander Weinstein, the film is directed by Kogonada, from a script by Alexander Weinstein and Kogonada.  The film follows as a family has to deal with the aftermath of the breakdown of a beloved AI helper named Yang (Justin H. Min) who's an integral part of their family.  The father, Jake (Colin Farrell) goes on a quest to get Yang fixed for his daughter Mika (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja) who sees Yang as a brother.  Along the way he discovers that Yang has had a very rich life and he and his wife Kyra (Jodie Turner-Smith), must make some hard choices about Yang and are forced to face the devastating loss.  The film clocks in at 1 h 34 m and is rated  PG.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

Might the response that greeted MARIE ANTOINETTE in 2006 have been warmer if audiences at the time had the context of Sofia Coppola's latest, PRISCILLA, which takes a similarly unconventional narrative and musical approach to a famous marriage? Both films are biopic-shaped containers for Coppola's now-well-established thematic obsessions, with little interest in the details of history that fall outside that purview, making for one of the more direct one-to-one pairings we've done in some time. We kick it off this week with a discussion of the ways time has been kind to MARIE ANTOINETTE's elision of history and narrowness of focus, how the anachronistic music and performances express the film's rebellious spirit, and what exactly we're meant to make of these bumbling teen royals. And in Feedback, a reader broaches another recent film for inclusion on our informal list of the best science-fiction of the 21st century, and in the process reopens our discussion of the many thematic nuances in AFTER YANG. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about MARIE ANTOINETTE, PRISCILLA, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

This week, the Doctor chats with Davros, Missy chats with Clara, and the four of us wonder if those chats are fun enough to sustain forty-five minutes of television. All while actually having quite a fun chat ourselves. It's The Witch's Familiar. Notes and links Quite a few mentions are made of the 60-minute LP of Genesis of the Daleks. This was released in 1979, more than 10 years before the first VHS release, so for much of our childhood it was the only Doctor Who story we could actually own (apart from the novelisations). Naturally, we basically know it off by heart. The convention in Sydney that Nathan talks about took place in November 2015. In fact, it was where we all met Steven B for the first time. Here's an account of the event published at the time in The Guardian. The last time Moffat wrote for both the Daleks and the Master, the Master was played by Jonathan Pryce, and it was a story that also featured sewers full of faeces. That story was The Curse of Fatal Death, which we've linked to many times before and which you should all re-watch immediately. Richard sees thematic parallels between this story and the 1961 film Judgement at Nuremberg, featuring Judy Garland, obviously, a lot of very accomplished actors and mad-uncle-of-the-podcast William Shatner. He also draws a parallel between the conversations here between the Doctor and Davros and the ones between Patrick McGoohan and Leo McKern in the final episodes of The Prisoner. Sir Ken Adam (1921–2016) was the designer on many of the early James Bond films, from Dr. No in 1962 to Moonraker in 1979. He's particularly famous for his sets' modernist design and angled ceilings. Picks of the week Simon Simon recommends a quiet and thoughtful science fiction film After Yang (2021), in which a family has to come to terms with the death of their AI assistant Yang. Here's the review from The Guardian. Todd Todd recommends the Australian competitive reality TV show Hunted, in which 24 people are dropped in Melbourne and have to avoid being captured by various former police officers and cybersecurity experts. Here's a review from the Sydney Morning Herald. Richard Richard urges us to watch (or re-watch) the last two episodes of The Prisoner — Once Upon a Time and Fall Out, both of which star Leo McKern as Number Two. Nathan Nathan recommends the second series of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which is available to stream on Paramount+. He makes particular mention (a) of the musical episode and (b) of our podcast Untitled Star Trek Project, which has already covered three episodes of the series.

The Dames are back with an all new episode. This week we're talking artificial intelligence in movies. Dating back to as early as Metropolis in 1927, A.I. is an oft explored theme in movies. We discuss the cautionary tales of machines run amok (Demon Seed, 1977), corporate greed and exploitation (Johnny Mnemonic, 1995), and the quest to understand humanity (After Yang, 2022).

"The true story of pirates who spy on his boss's old mentor." Why are pirates spying on someone? What is the old mentor doing? And, well, this isn't actually a true story, right?

What's so good about being human? And what's so terrible about AI? Well, maybe we answer both of those question and then some. Come along with us to have a nuanced discussion about The Problem with AI, where we discuss black boxes, non-linear models, high-order interactions, causal pathways and all that fun stuff. Plus - oh yeah - there's this goddamn amazing movie to talk about to and some extremely sensitive talk about being too smart for our own good and having monthly periods..Here's the video Freda talks about regarding the Asian-American experience told thematically through After Yang: https://youtu.be/6jr2fMWywIQ Hosted on Acast.

This week we sit in a hot tub for the first time with musical composer and artist, Aska Matsumiya. Aska is at the end of her third trimester of pregnancy as we bathe. Her belly is full and ripe, and the baby is ready to come out any day. Aska shares her experience on approaching early motherhood for a second time, 20 years after the birth of her first and only daughter, Bebel. Immigrating from Japan to California with her family as a young lady, Aska remembers her experience of cultural and linguistic differences between the two nations from childhood through today. Since she was three, Aska's relationship with composition and piano grew as her own language, an alternative method of expression when words and socializing did not come naturally.Aska explains how her relationship with piano continued to blossom and guided her towards her dream of going to Julliard, landing her at American art schools in her early childhood education. However, when Aska was 15, she found authentic friendship in school with kids who were alternative, artistic, and exposed her to a foreign genre of music: Punk. Aska experienced her first punk concert that would bring her to drop out of high school, drop her dream of being a concert pianist, and join her own punk band with whom she would begin touring in a van. Yet, life quickly had a different plan: at 19, Aska was pregnant, inciting her to quit the band and embark on her next journey in life: motherhood.As a young mother, Aska describes how she dove into the musical culture of Seattle, playing in indie bands in the Sub Pop era. Her love of variant genres of music and doing odd jobs like working for fashion magazines, consulting for brands, or even playing piano for ballet classes helped to develop the skills, and give her experiences that would weave together to make her better at scoring films now. People come to her because she knows the patterns of classical music and simultaneously knows how to break all of the rules. People come to her to score films when they want something different.At 25 years old, Aska began her scoring journey through working with director Crystal Moselle, composing pieces for various fashion clips and then, her breakout film: The Wolfpack. ‘There Are Many Of Us' was Aska's first original song featured as the central theme song of Spike Jonze's film, ‘I'm Here'. Spike told her she could make things and that could be her work. This nugget was mind blowing, and helped Aska to transition from taking on all of the odd jobs she was piecing together, to focusing in on composing scores full time. Aska now incorporates her cultural identity with her Japan-based music production company: Black Cat White Cat Music, which she created with her brother. They curate musical artists from around the world to create original soundscapes and songs for Japanese commercials and productions. Aska explains cultural differences she has encountered in the Japanese business space. She explains that in Japan, trust comes from words. Whereas in America, everything is contracted. She describes how growing up in America has helped her and her brother create a bridge between Japanese culture and the world outside. Aska sees that the way people listen to music in Japan or Germany, resonates with the way that she likes to create music. She observes that Japanese culture is more comfortable with silence and space. She describes a Japanese word that doesn't translate to English conceptually or lexically: “Kue-issho.” She couldn't think of the word exactly in the bath, but later said that it is a Buddhist thought that means “you will eventually find yourself meeting up again with the one you wished for, in one place, and to keep that strength to seek the hope in destiny.”Aska and I first met through our mutual close friend Desiree, who passed away in a tragic and shocking surfing accident in 2015. Our individual friendship began through our shared mourning and loss of someone we loved. Aska shares how she composed an album as an expression of her grief for Desiree, but she never released it. Simply the act of creating it was cathartic. Surfing had been a passion that Desiree and Aska enjoyed together. Aska learned to surf from our collaborator and Tub Talks guest, Kassia Meador. Aska was scoring a surf film for Kassia, and it was in the experience of paying attentions to the details, the micromovements and how to play sound to the movement, that she became interested in experiencing it herself. When she asked Kassia about it, Kassia put all the necessary materials into her hands and took Aska into the water. Aska describes surfing as feeling like a child on a playground because it's playful. She understands how fundamentally important it is to feel joy so simply. Adults can forget how to have fun. Surfing elicits that joy in Aska's life. And this conversation inspires us to find these joys, and our passions, in ourselves. I hope you enjoy this deep soak with my friend in bloom, Aska Matsumiya!To join Secular Sabbath membership, you can find us at secular-sabbath.com/membership.

To say Colin Farrell's career has been unique is an understatement. He was famously discovered by Joel Schumacher, who cast him in 2000's Tigerland; his good looks landed him a place at the top of Hollywood's A-list, starring in Minority Report, S.W.A.T, The Recruit and more. But, it was his acting that made him a favorite of directors like Michael Mann (Miami Vice), Terrence Malick (The New World), Oliver Stone (Alexander), Woody Allen (Cassandra's Dream) and more. As far as his stardom went, the only issue was that these movies were expensive but not terribly successful at the box office. Thus, for a few years, Farrell took on a couple of dubiously commercial films, such as the disastrous Total Recall remake, that didn't work.However, when he was making those movies, he also starred in Martin McDonagh's In Bruges, which was perhaps his best role to date, and people took notice. So even if he looks like a heartthrob, he has the skill and range of a character actor, and it's in this role that he's excelled in the last few years, starring in great movies like The Lobster, The Killing of the Sacred Deer, Widows, The Gentlemen, After Yang and, of course, The Batman, where he plays The Penguin. Join us as we take a closer look at his career in this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity.

In just under the wire, Evan and Zach predict winners, pick favorites and lament the lack of After Yang in every category for this year's Oscars

With his first two films, 2017's "Columbus" and the new AFTER YANG, director Kogonada has established a meditative style of filmmaking that rewards close attention. "After Yang" takes place in a near-future that's populated by techno-sapiens, clones, and self-driving cars, but its characters struggle with all too familiar things like death, grief, and the meaning of life. In his conversation with the director, Adam asks about Kogonada's preoccupation with grieving, the quiet, non-confrontational style of his films, and the origins of "After Yang"'s thrilling title sequence. We also share a recent review of "Yang" from our sister podcast, The Next Picture Show, hosted by Tasha Robinson, Scott Tobias, Genevieve Koski, and Keith Phipps.

Kogonada's new AFTER YANG plays in many ways like a mirror to Steven Spielberg's misunderstood android epic A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE as it explores ideas about human nature through the experiences of an artificial being. It's also an unusually warm, thematically rich science-fiction film that opens up countless avenues of discussion, a few of which we travel down before bringing AFTER YANG into conversation with Spielberg's earlier model to consider these stories' shared features: a disrupted family unit, a journey of discovery, adoption ethics, and rumination on what it means to be human. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AFTER YANG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net.

Kogonada's new science-fiction film AFTER YANG wrestles with the humanity of artificial beings, and their relationship to humanity, in a way that feels distinctly reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's 2001 feature A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Both films are highly sympathetic toward the android companions on which they center, but Spielberg's film, which began life as a Stanley Kubrick endeavor, has a more sour view of humanity… or does it? That's one of the main questions up for discussion this week as we delve into the complexities and contradictions of A.I., a film with no shortage of discussion points, many of which coalesce around the film's still-divisive ending.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about A.I., AFTER YANG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net.

There have been some great films about the unanticipated complications of artificial intelligence: Spielberg's "A.I.," Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Alex Garland's "Ex Machina," Kubrick's "2001." And while AFTER YANG, about a malfunctioning "techno sapien," evokes all of them, it also - unlike those films - avoids exploiting those complications for conflict. Instead, director Kogonada chooses to focus his attention on his film's family of homo sapiens, and how an ailing robot causes all of them to consider what it means to be human. Adam and Josh agree that it's one of the best films of the year so far.

In the new sci-fi film After Yang, a family suffers a loss when their human-like android Yang (Justin H. Min) suddenly breaks down. It stars Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith as the parents of an adopted child who are faced with deep existential conundrums. The film was written and directed by Kogonada, and is currently in theaters and streaming on Showtime.
