When does comedy become more than a laugh? Ben Mangrum of MIT joins RtB to discuss his new book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford UP, 2025), which in some ways is organized around “the intriguing idea that human knowledge work is our definitive feature and yet the machines we are ourselves made are going to replace us at it.” Comedy has provided a toolbox (Charles Tilly calls them "collective repertoires") for responding to the looming obsolescence of knowledge workers.John's interest in Menippean satire within science fiction leads him to ask about about the sliding meanings of comedy and its pachinko machine capacity; he loves the way Ben uses the word and concept of doubling,; Ben explains how the computer may either queer (in an antisocial way) or get assimilated into romantic heteronormative pairings. John asks about Donna Haraway's 1985 A Cyborg Manifesto and teh way it denaturalizes gender roles and the way new technological affordances (from the Acheulean axe that Malafouris discusses to the Apple watch) redefine human roles. Ben delves into the minstrelsy pre-history of the photo-robots going as far back as the late 19th century. They unpack the distinctively American Leo Marxian optimism of The Machine in the Garden (1964) that spreads back as far as the proto-robots like The Steam Man of the Prairies(1868) and good old Tik-Tok in the Wizard of Oz novels. John asks about double-edged nature of Ben's claim that comic “genericity provides forms for making a computationally mediated social world seem more habitable, even as it also provides Is for criticizing and objecting to that world." First you get description says Ben--and then sometimes critique. John asks about the iterability of the new: how much of what seems new actually New New (in the sense of that great 1999 Michael Lewis book, The New New Thing)? Mentioned in the episode: The Desk Set a play William Marchand and a movie starring Katherine Hepburn. How might a computer be incorporated into the sociability of a couple? Her (Spike Jonze,, 2013) computer meets human makes the rom-com into a coupling machine. WarGames (1983( ends with Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy (not Ione Skye—silly John!) paired. But also with Broderick and the formerly deadly computer settling down to “how about a nice game of chess”? Black Mirror as the 2020's version of the same dark satire as the 1950's Twilight Zone. John asks about Stanislaw Lem's Cyberiad, and the comic coupling of Kirk and Spock and the death-as-computer comedy of Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979). Leo Marx, The Machine in the Garden (1964). Dave Eggers: the joke structure as critique in The Circle and The Every.

You'll know Letitia Wright from her standout roles in Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, Black Mirror and Top Boy. She won the BAFTA Rising Star award in 2019 and is currently starring in Not Your Superwoman at The Bush Theatre, London. But Letitia's journey hasn't always been lined with red carpets. Born in Guyana and raised in Tottenham, North London, she's faced her share of challenges including depression, anxiety and experiencing the pressure to fit in from a young age. In this episode, Letitia opens up about dealing with online bullying, rejection and the lessons she's learned along the way. She speaks powerfully about the importance of faith, friendship and resilience, sharing how those pillars helped shape the person she is today. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 02:36 Childhood Memories 11:44 Audition Failures 22:20 Online Bullying and Its Impact 24:40 Struggles with Acting Roles 25:53 Dealing with Negative Thoughts 26:51 Overcoming College Torment 28:59 Finding Purpose in Acting 30:12 Battling Depression 35:41 Directing Debut Challenges 43:36 Processing Grief and Moving Forward

If a technology existed that matched you with your soul mate – the one true person you're destined to be with – would you take it? Would it lead you to your happily-ever-after? Or is love too vast and complicated a thing to be pared down to a science like that? These are the questions posed by All Of You, a new romantic drama by our guests today, William Bridges and Brett Goldstein. William is a writer-director you may well know from his contributions to the shows like Black Mirror and Stranger Things. Brett, meanwhile, is the writer-performer known for Ted Lasso, in which he plays hardman Roy Kent. He's also the co-creator of Apple TV's Shrinking and hosts a very entertaining podcast named Films To Be Buried With. In All Of You, Brett plays Simon – a journalist whose best friend is a woman named Laura. The pair have undeniable chemistry but their timelines have never quite aligned, romantically. Instead, when the film begins, their relationship is strictly platonic. Laura has found her supposed 'one true love,' according to science. But something remains unresolved – Simon and Laura's attraction to each other unable to be fully dimmed. The film began life in 2013 as a short that later was developed into an AMC anthology series named Soulmates, which lasted one season. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Brett and Will reflect on that journey to this feature version of the script – what it was they just couldn't quit about this concept and these characters, whether they'd take the test themselves, how their attitudes towards the idea of soul mates have shifted over time. Plus, of course, what it is that's happening in the heads and hearts of our two protagonists during the film's heartbreaking final scene.

No, it's not an episode of Black Mirror, AI actors are supposedly an up and coming thing.

“You have to love all your characters. Even if you're writing a bad guy. You, the writer, have to write them with love and empathy, and treat each character, give each character, a full life and a full arc in your story, even if their screen time is small. Essentially, if you were following that character, they also have a full story, a full life,” says actor/writer Brett Goldstein about how he approaches writing characters in film and TV.  On today's episode, we chat with writer/director Will Bridges and writer/actor Brett Goldstein about their new film All of You, starring Imogen Poots and Brett Goldstein. The film centers on two best friends, Laura and Simon, who harbor an unspoken love for one another even after a futuristic test matches one of them up with their supposed soulmate. Though the set-up of the story sounds like science-fiction, the movie stays firmly grounded in reality and examines the human need for love and how we often sabotage that love.  If you're a fan of the show Black Mirror, you likely know Will Bridges' Emmy-winning episode “USS Callister,” the only Black Mirror episode to get a sequel. Brett Goldstein is perhaps most famous for playing Roy Kent on Ted Lasso, where he was a writer on the show before acting on it. He talks about his self-taped audition for the show and how taking that one risk changed everything for him.   Bridges and Goldstein talk about working together on an early project where they were forced to bunk in a “spider infested Airbnb,” and they also discuss the nuances of their writing in the film All of You, including why they left out all exposition. “We never wanted to be too specific about where Simon and Laura are in their relationship, but we want to draw you in quickly. We want you playing detective: Where are they now? What's going on with them? So we just trusted the audience would get it,” Bridges says.  They also discuss why you never see Laura or Simon separate from each other. “One of the rules of the film,” says Goldstein, “we only see them when they're together. We don't see their lives when they're apart, and that's kind of fun and interesting to me, that we are watching the film of them. We are not watching the film of what it's like to be Simon, what's it like to be Laura, we only know what it's like to be them.” To hear more, listen to the podcast.

A journalist. A forgotten 90s video game. A murder that won't stay buried. Plaything scratches at the edges of sentience, control, and what it means to upgrade humanity. Join us as we peel back the layers of Black Mirror's latest twist—and wonder whether the ending is hopeful, terrifying, or something in between.

LOOK OUT! It's only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the glorious writer, producer and director WILL BRIDGES! As the pre-victory lap continues in celebration of the release of All Of You continues, Brett is joined by colleague and friend Will who directed it and worked on the writing side. Naturally you can expect some fabulous behind the scenes gossip from the set (sometimes a studio, sometimes the great wild outdoors), as well as loads to do with the process from all angles, but alongside that we get to hear about ADR grunts, misjudged horrors from Dad, Isle Of Wight repping, what got him into the whole wide world of media, and being a highly tuned beepboop emotion robot.

Quello che è stato profetizzato da serie come Black Mirror, oggi è realtà. Molto facilmente chiunque può creare un clone digitale di se stesso che possa "rappresentarlo" dopo la morte, interagire con i suoi cari. Ne parliamo con Davide Sisto, filosofo e tanatologo.

French pop star Mylène Farmer makes a rare appearance as the voice of an AI-powered virtual assistant in "Dalloway", which deals with some of the darker sides of creativity in Yann Gozlan's latest film. Manon Kerjean, the founder of Lost in Translation, a film club screening French features in Paris for non-French speakers, joins us to discuss the merits of this "Black Mirror"-adjacent movie. We also discuss Pierre Schoeller's psychological thriller "Rembrandt" and reflect on the complexities at the centre of the troubled relationship between Yves Montand and Simone Signoret, as the actress and singer's lives are examined by Diane Kurys in "C'est Si Bon". And Manon flags up a Maurice Pialat retrospective at the Cinémathèque Française that provides an insight into the iconoclastic French filmmaker.

On this episode of the Blue Alchemist podcast, Siquoyia Blue dives into Jordan Peele's Out There Screaming, an anthology of Black horror stories that fuse folklore, history, and speculative dread. Featured tales explore racist violence, ancestral magic, domestic monsters, restless spirits, and a digital paradise that becomes a prison. Through close readings of standout stories, the episode argues that horror can reveal harsh truths and resilience, imagining the collection as a potential Black Mirror–style series and asking listeners to consider where they would rather face danger: on the bus or in the dark outside.   Subscribe to Blu Alchemist Podcast Substack Newsletter: https://siquoyiablue.substack.com/ Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: https://www.blualchemistpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Siquoyia Blue Website: https://siquoyiablue.komi.io⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: @blualchemistpodcast Buy Dating Assassins Card Game: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.datingassassins.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you want to either be a guest on or find guests for your podcast, please sign up here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.joinpodmatch.com/siquoyia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Donate via Cashapp: @KingSiquoyia or Venmo: @KingShay Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I share news from my recent trip to the UK, noticing how it seems to have reached the epic proportions of a Black Mirror episode; from the absurd TV licensing program to the new Digital ID Brit cards that will track your behavior. I also explore how the UK may be serving as a testing ground for new levels of behavioral surveillance that could eventually spread globally. I dive into California's $900 “smart” license plates that track your every move, centralized government digital currencies, and my predictions for the next 20 years of Orwellian surveillance.Support the show on Patreon!In this week's episode:The UK's TV licensing system: Legal extortion through private contractorsThe Reviver R-plate: $900 to track yourself in California and ArizonaBrit Cards: UK's new “voluntary” Digital ID systemThe Bank of England's digital pound and programmable moneyHistorical patterns of control: From land ownership to neural interfacesWhy the UK is the blueprint for global surveillance rolloutPredictions for the next 20-50 years of biosurveillanceMatrix Community RoomsMatrix Community Space - https://matrix.to/#/#psysecure:matrix.orgIndividual Room Links:https://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-intro:matrix.orghttps://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-podcast:matrix.orghttps://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-general:matrix.orgShow Links:PsySecure ODSF Framework - https://odsf.psysecure.comLCD License Plate (not privacy friendly!) - https://reviver.com/rplate/Black Mirror S03E01 "Nosedive" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5497778/Bank of England's Digital Pound - https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/the-digital-poundBrit Card Digital ID System - https://www.labourtogether.uk/all-reports/britcardTV Licensing Detector Ads (1980s-90s): The Detector Van - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NmdUcmLFkw"We know exactly where he is" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF3-S2sCnb8Keep One Eye Open - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfOmR7gAekMore Powerful Dector Vans! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q9CsRRhWQI“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.”- Mustapha Mond (Brave New World ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This month we have a great guest and one angler we've been longing to get on the podcast for some time, James Parry. James first came on my radar when a picture surfaced of a giant carp, one that had a stature like the iconic Black Mirror. This fish was as good as it gets and became etched in carp fishing history as one of the best we've ever seen. James recounts his adventure that ended with his dream carp in the folds of his net, a story that won't fail to get you buzzed up for an adventure. James also tells of his discovery of a record sized carp back when big carp were rarer than hen's teeth, proper pioneering stuff. That aside, me and Mr Bryant discuss rigs, water levels, low oxygen issues and touch on a recent trip that had us both paddling our own canoe down a river for 6 hours in 37c heat........ enjoy!

Hi Everyone! I am in awe of today's guest and I can't wait for you to listen to this conversation! Jimmi Simpson is one of those actors that really makes you pay attention from the moment you see him onscreen. You may know him from playing Liam McPoyle on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or from his more dramatic work as William in Westworld, Walton in Black Mirror, Tom Andrews in Pachinko, or from one of many many other roles. It was such a pleasure to chat with someone whose work I really respect and learn that our process (or lack of process) is not that different! It was a nice feeling to realize that even someone who seems so disciplined and confident as an actor still faces lack of sleep, ADD and imposter syndrome. We talk about obstacles and opportunities and how to make your way through a challenge as an actor even when you may not know the best way to approach it. This is a great conversation about acting, but Jimmi also has lots of nuggets of wisdom about life in general. Plus, Jimmi's new show Haunted Hotel is really funny and beautiful and I can't wait for everyone to check it out! Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I chat about the interview, as well as upcoming live shows and conventions!

Supervising Sound Editor Tom Jenkins, Music Editor Poppy Kavanagh & Re-Recording Mixer James Ridgway tell us about the challenges of working on a science-fiction anthology series where every episode is completely different, the importance of having Poppy work with the music across the entire series 7, and what they learned designing the sound for an epic space battle.

In today's episode, we're diving into the wild, complicated, and very real intersection of AI and relationships. From romantic connections with chatbots to emotional venting with AI companions, technology is evolving faster than most of us are prepared for. And it's already showing up in our love lives in some unexpected (and sometimes unsettling) ways. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or straight-up concerned, this is a conversation every couple needs to have.

They delve into a discussion about the latest Black Mirror episode, critiquing its plot and characters while sharing laughs and insights. The conversation is punctuated by technical difficulties, playful banter, and reflections on work-life balance, making for an entertaining and relatable listening experience. In this episode, the hosts discuss a disappointing episode of Black Mirror, focusing on its lack of depth and poor execution. They delve into the absurdity of the AI love story presented in the episode, sharing their thoughts on the characters and plot. The conversation shifts to their experiences with technical difficulties during the podcast, leading to humorous exchanges. They also share concert experiences, particularly in the country music scene, and reflect on the beauty of Colorado's landscapes. The episode concludes with a brief discussion on nuclear history and military strategies, showcasing the hosts' diverse interests.

In a Film Scorer first, a repeat guest joins the show! Daniel Pemberton (the Spider-Verse films, King Arthur) comes onto the show for a second time, after chatting with me back in 2023 about his score for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. Even though we're just over halfway through the year, Daniel's already scored about a half dozen projects, so we had plenty of things to talk about. With so much to pick from, we primarily talk about his recent work on the Black Mirror episode USS Callister: Into Infinity and Eddington - two extremely different projects with very different scores. Of course, even though our chat clocks in at just under half an hour we cover plenty of other ground too, including trends in modern film scoring and a big detour into Anton Karas's score for The Third Man. Daniel's score for Eddington and Callister, and much of his other music, is available on all major platforms. Eddington is still playing in select theaters and is available on demand while Callister is available on Netflix. And if you haven't yet, be sure to check out our prior conversation here: https://thefilmscorer.com/an-interview-with-daniel-pemberton/

Not only is Ben Barnes well-spoken, professional, and ridiculously good-looking, he's also the star of a currently running TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Institute. We talk about his process working on that show, what he took from King's writing, his history with genre (from playing Prince Caspian in the Narnia films to appearances in Westworld and Black Mirror), and share a laugh over cat buttholes. In short, this is just the nerdy conversation you need this week.

From voxel teleporters to epic space battles, James MacLachlan reveals how Black Mirror's USS Callister: Into Infinity blends cinematic sci-fi and retro gaming.
