Patrick brings thoughtful insights to a wide range of questions from listeners, addressing faith and technology, including Elon Musk’s use of the word “legion” and potential concerns for Catholics about artificial intelligence. Patrick responds to a heartfelt letter from a listener struggling with trust in marriage after a spouse's hidden addiction, focusing on forgiveness, healing, and the impact of divorce on children. Listeners also reach out with their experiences and seek advice about challenging family dynamics, such as whether to attend weddings that go against Catholic teaching. Patrick offers practical resources on issues like marriage restoration, Catholic commentaries on the Book of Revelation, and creative solutions for everyday problems. Patrick provides honest, compassionate guidance rooted in Catholic wisdom to help listeners tackle life’s toughest situations. Elon Musk used the word “legion”. Is there anything to be afraid of? No, of course not. (00:34) Email – My husband had been using pornography and only stopped with the power of prayer. I never knew, but I feel like he has been cheating on me all these years. Should I stay with him? (03:35) Linda - I think a lot of porn leads to prostitution, so they need to work together as a couple to build trust. (18:31) Rose - Is there a good book that talks about Revelation? (23:35) Andrew - I would love to have something to chase the animals away from my crops which I use to make a living. A humanoid Robot could be solid. (27:18) Google’s SynthID Detector can tell if made by artificial intelligence. (32:05) Louise - Do you know about the movie featuring Robbin Williams called Bicentennial Man? It seems relevant to the robot topic. (33:12) Liz - My mom, who is 90, is being told she can go to a non-Catholic wedding and just go to confession afterwards. What can I tell her to dissuade her from going?

A new episode of Geeking with Karen Bee has arrived! We dive into the Valentine's Day long weekend, discuss the misfortune of getting sick over the holiday, and share what we're currently reading. We address the concept of rating things, the 5-star review system, and why not everything should be rated 5 stars. What exactly constitutes a library, and do you have one? We delve into Stephen King's book, 11/22/63, focusing on its time travel elements. We also discuss The Hellfire Club, both as a political thriller novel and the villains from X-Men. We explore the Storygraph app and touch on Geddy Lee's My Effin Life, Swamp Thing, and the comparison between Hunger Games and Battle Royale.We highlight several AI movies including Ex Machina, Wild Robot, Lost in Space, Big Hero 6, and Bicentennial Man. We also talk Superman (1978), the 1960s Batman, and the various incarnations of these characters over the years, including Lex Luthor and the unconventional choice of Jesse Eisenberg. We debate our favorite Batman and discuss the upcoming Flash movie. Nostalgia kicks in as we reminisce about Wonder Woman.We conclude the episode by talking about the Fantastic Four, especially the new trailer. Do we still need the Avengers when we have the Fantastic Four?#podcast #ValentinesDay #StephenKing #11/22/63 #TheHellfireClub #Storygraph #GeddyLee #SwampThing #HungerGames #BattleRoyale #AIMovies #ExMachina #WildRobot #LostInSpace #BigHero6 #BicentennialMan #Superman #Batman #WonderWoman #FantasticFour #Avengers #comics #movies #geeking #KarenBeeLinktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksMerch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

This week, we can't help but fall victim to la bella luna as Feb2ary Is For Lovers continues with a classic rom-com about how it's impossible not to cheat if you're Italian. It's 1987's Moonstruck, directed by Norman Jewison, written by John Patrick Shanley, and starring Cher, Nicolas Cage, Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis, Danny Aiello, Julie Bovasso and John Mahoney. The story of a young woman who accidentally falls in love with her fiancé's brother, the movie exudes charm at every turn -- so much so that this little rom-com took home three Oscars in '88, for Cher and Dukakis's performances as well as Original Screenplay for Shanley's script that is funny without being rife with straight-up jokes. There are rich characters here, beset by curses and fatal strains of bad luck, who get laughs not by mugging or ripping one-line zingers but by believing in the seriousness of their tragedies so completely. This is character-driven comedy of the highest order, grounded by the Canadian coziness that Jewison can't help but leave all over the film. Plus: J Mo's got theatrical field reports on both Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Companion. If you'd like to watch the film before listening along to our discussion, it is one of the more widely available films we have ever covered as Moonstruck is currently streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime, Crave, Starz, Criterion Channel, Tubi and Hoopla at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Abigail, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, Identity, Trap, Fargo, The Wedding Singer, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Ocean's Eleven, L.A. Story, Paint, Napoleon Dynamite, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, The Fabelmans, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Bicentennial Man, Bottoms and Punch-Drunk Love. Love Month continues next week with another VHS plucked from Hayley's collection as we'll be discussing 1996's Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger, and will do our best not to get side-tracked discussing the Mission: Impossible franchise but can't promise we won't. Jerry Maguire is currently streaming north of the border on Crave, Starz and for free (with ads) on the CTV app. And of course we're closing out February with a rom-com canon selection, 10 Things I Hate About You. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
Excel Saga continues to…continue! Join us this week as we discuss The Bicentennial Man, cringe at the thought of the sound of claws on a chalkboard (kids ask your parents), and think deeply on the statute of limitations on burglary! [Episode 11] Butt Out, Youth!: This episode is a parody of the teen drama genre. In order to learn more about the education system, Excel and Hyatt infiltrate Excel's alma mater, Inunabe High School – the school in which Excel has graduated from, which means Excel herself, with Hyatt, is paying a return visit. The ACROSS duo quickly whip their class of thugs and degenerates into shape. They next have to save the school baseball team, and to do so Excel tries to recruit the team's legendary dropout, Bean Boy. [Episode 12] Big City Part II: This episode is a parody of the detective anime genre. It's Christmas Eve in F City, F District, and Kabapu orders the Department of City Security to shadow a cute, but possessed detective, named Purin (プリン, lit. "Pudding"), who's out for revenge on her father's killers. At the same time, Hyatt is taken hostage by some extremely incompetent bank-robbers.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here for a bonus podcast to discuss Bicentennial Man for its 25th anniversary. Bicentennial Man is a science fiction comedy-drama directed by Chris Columbus and written by Nicholas Kazan. It is based on a novelette by Isaac Asimov, as well as a novel by Asimov and Robert Silverberg. It opened in theaters on December 17, 1999. The film follows Andrew, an immortal robot (Robin Williams) who first serves the Martin family in a futuristic 2005. Mr. Martin (Sam Neill), who determines that Andrew has human emotions and interests, guides his development. Later, Andrew decides to take on more human attributes, including synthetic skin and organs, with the aid of inventor Rupert Burns (Oliver Platt). Other characters include Mrs. Martin (Wendy Crewson), the Martins' daughter Amanda (Hallie Kate Eisenberg, Embeth Davidtz), and Amanda's granddaughter (also Davidtz). Bicentennial Man garnered mixed-to-negative reviews, and it bombed at the box office. Robin Williams was nominated for Worst Actor at the Razzies, though the movie was nominated for Best Makeup at the Oscars. Aaron and Josh talk about the first time they saw Bicentennial Man, its plot, characters, and themes. They also mention its deceptive marketing campaign and how the film stands out in today's movie landscape. For more science fiction, you can listen to Aaron and Josh's Twilight Zone podcast with guest Randy Allain. Bicentennial Man is available on Prime Video

Join us on a journey through the synthetic dreamscape of artificial intelligence, where we delve into how robots not just mimic life but seek to understand the human heart with our double feature: Bicentennial Man and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Before exploring these narratives of manufactured souls and their quests for earned humanity, we're munching on a jar of digital cookies with our Blue Plate Special, chatting about Joaquin Phoenix's surprising departure from what sounded like a promising Todd Haynes project, reviewing new releases Trap and Cuckoo, and dissecting the trailer for the upcoming fall release Saturday Night. After logging out of these side discussions, we finally access the core of our episode, diving into Chris Columbus's messy yet heartwarming narrative alongside Spielberg's ethereal realization of a science fiction epic originally drafted by the late great Stanley Kubrick.

Celebrate the life and career of the late Robin Williams with us today on a day of remembrance following the date of his death on August 11, 2014. We're talking about Bicentennial Man (1999), the turn-of-the-century film that brings Issac Asimov's 1976 novel to the silver screen. The film follows Andrew, a NDR 114 model android who embarks on a 200 year journey towards becoming human. Carie is understandably endeared by the vulnerable performance of her favorite actor of all time, while simultaneously being annoyed with the pacing and often inelegant writing. Ross is digging his heels in on the hypothetical of robots naturally evolving through what Asimov called "the ghost in the machine," and the siblings accidentally uncover the fact that I, Robot (2004), and Home Alone (1990) occur in the same cinematic universe.

This week, Travis watched the 1999 Sci Fi film Bicentennial Man for the first time. Stargate Pioneer of the Legends of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Better Podcasting podcast is back to talk about it. Starring Robin Williams, Sam Neill, Embeth Davitz, and Oliver Platt; it is the story of an android over the course of his 200 year life. So, is it a slog at over 2 hours long? How does it feel to watch a movie about an artificial intellegence gaining humanity in 2023? Could anyone other than Robin Williams play this role? Let's find out...Thanks go out to Audie Norman (@TheAudieNorman) for the album art.

Well, we did it, folks. After four and a half years we've finally hit two hundred episodes. It's been a wild ride and even though most of us have been killed, brought back, killed again, and forced to watch some pretty god awful movies, I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we've had the time of our lives bringing the lost art of cinema back to the wasteland. And I know that you're thinking - surely they've got an ace up their sleeve for the big 200! Well, you'd be right. After 199 episodes (and a few attempts on our lives) we're finally saying goodbye to C.H.A.D. and replacing him with a fully functional anthropomorphic android with all of the bells and whistles! We're talking a fully digital sound system; VHS, Laserdisc and Betamax capabilities; and of course, it comes complete with a laundry list of corny jokes. I gotta tell ya, this thing is awesome. I'm totally not experiencing buyer's remorse after spending half of my year's salary on this marvel of modern robotics. (Now…where's that C.H.A.D. boot-up disc again…?) I'm your host, Dave, and joining me again are original co-hosts and cinephiles Ryan, Cody, and special guest, Nick “Immortan Hoof”. Topics of discussion in this episode include the surprisingly lucrative business of clock making; Sam Neill teaches the audience (and his robot) about the birds and the bees; and finally, Andrew Martin goes where no android has gone before: having lots of sex with his owner's great granddaughter. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Follow Us on Twitter, Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com. Got a movie you'd like us to watch? Hit us up and we'll talk about it on the show! That'll do it for this episode, folks. It's been a great pleasure bringing you two hundred episodes of foolishness and we can't wait to bring you two hundred more. (Now…what's a good movie with “400” in the title…)

We finally know that season 2 of Apple TV+'s Foundation will begin on 14 July. Rather than tackling another novel, we're wrapping up season 3 of Stars End with short stories and guests. In our next episode, we're both pleased and proud to announce that we'll be interviewing Melinda Snodgrass, author of the first truly great episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the source of many of our Star-Trek-related digressions, "The Measure of a Man." But in the meantime, for this episode, we're reading The Great and Glorious Az's "The Bicentennial Man," (TBM) which is based in part on a suggestion from famed science fiction editor Judy-Lynn del Rey. To quote the good doctor, "Of all the robot stories I ever wrote, 'The Bicentennial Man' is my favorite and, I think, the best." In The Complete Robot, he pairs it with our last episode's subject, "...That Thou Art Mindful of Him" (TTAMoH) in a section entitled "Two Climaxes" where he envisions the ultimate fate of the three laws and the science of robotics. Of the two, TBM has the less auspicious genesis. You'll recall that TTAMoH was commissioned for an anthology entitled Final Stage which charged the authors with taking their themes to their ultimate conclusion. TBM was commissioned for an anthology entitled "The Bicentennial Man" where the stories could be anything at all so long as it was suggested by the phrase, "The Bicentennial Man." That, to a large degree, was the way things worked in the US in 1976. But there was an earlier suggestion from del Rey about "...a robot who has to choose between buying its own liberty and improving its own body." After reading TBM, Judy-Lynn wanted the story, and when the original anthology fell through, Judy-Lynn got the story. It appeared in a different anthology, one that she edited, Stellar Science Fiction #2 published in February 1976. So, don't miss our discussion of "The Bicentennial Man, " the Good Doctor's favorite Robot Story, and his third favorite story overall, surpassed only by "The Last Question" and "The Ugly Little Boy." Let's go!
Asimov's story "...That Thou Art Mindful of Him" has an interesting pedigree. It was initially commissioned for an original collection entitled, Final Stage: The Ultimate Science Fiction Anthology edited by Edward L. Ferman and Barry N. Malzberg. The intent of the anthology is compelling. Here's how the editors described the premise. "The assumption was that science fiction — that branch of literature, half beast, half-civilized —sits upon perhaps, a dozen classic themes, which, in various combinations, permutations, and convolutions, underline most of the work in the field. Like the ten to twenty basic chess attacks and defenses, these themes can lead to winning combinations of great beauty or, in less talented hands, to disastrous and obvious clichés." Some of science fiction's most astounding writers were each given one of these classic themes and charged with crafting that theme's ultimate story. The assignment of "Robots and Androids" could only have gone to the good doctor. Each contributor was also tasked with writing an afterword on the theme and their story. Thus, "...That Thou Art Mindful of Him" was born. Ed Malzberg was also editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction at the time. According to Peter King writing on Amazon.com, Malzberg, upon receiving the manuscript, was compelled to include it in his magazine first. It appeared in the April 1974 issue. In his afterword to the story, The Great and Glorious Az proclaimed "...having followed matters through to the logical conclusion, I have possibly destroyed the Three Laws, and it made it impossible for me to ever write another positronic robot story." But then, of course, he qualified it, maybe not. And he said something similar after writing the Bicentennial Man two years later (that's for next week). He qualified that as well, "But then again," he wrote, "I might. I'm not always predictable." Two novels and a bunch more short stories later, the good doctor might have been more predictable than he thought. Anyway, we talk about it. Please tune in and join the fun! Let's go! You can read that entire afterword on our website!

Consider the problems of miners who work on Ganymede, moon of Jupiter, 390,000,000 miles from earth: isolated on a world so different from our own, surrounded by beings who know nothing of our traditions, how might these men teach their alien work-mates how we celebrate Christmas? Christmas on Ganymede by Isaac Asimov, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.Christmas on Ganymede is the first Isaac Asimov short sci-fi story on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Listener Sleepy Williams requested something from Asimov and since we're getting close to Christmas it seemed like a good time for this story. Asimov was born in Russia on January 2, 1920, his family immigrated to the United States in 1923, and he became a naturalized US citizen in 1928.He discovered science fiction through the magazines sold in his father's candy store.During World War II, he was employed as a chemist at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. That's when that he became acquainted with Robert Heinlein and L. Sprague de Camp, two other future science fiction writers.Asimov briefly served in the Army in 1946, and following his discharge, he received his Ph.D. and began teaching biochemistry at Boston University's School of Medicine. Asimov soon started writing short stories and then his first novel, Pebble in the Sky, in the 1940s and '50s. For the next 40 years, Asimov wrote hundreds of science fiction works.The 2021 Apple TV series Foundation is based on his writing, as is the 2004 movie I, Robot starring Will Smith and the 1999 Robin Williams movie Bicentennial Man.Asimov was given theScience Fiction Writers Association Grand Master Award in 1987 and was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 1997.A discussion of his accomplishments in sci-fi would take hours, so we'll save more of the Isaac Asimov story for another episode of the podcast.Christmas on Ganymede was written in December 1940, first published in the January 1942 issue of Startling Stories Magazine.
