Time for another Halloween week Nightmare Fuel! This one is from this past May. And in it, we head to Upstate New York's Woodhull Mountain, where Gabe and Hassan see a very strangely placed house on the side of the hill while out on a hike. When Gabe enters the house, he leaves behind our world, and enters a space outside of it - a dark and mysterious space dedicated mostly... to pain.  Hope you like it!This episode was scored by Logan Keith.

Have you ever seen the Black Mirror episode called "Be right back"? It aired back in February 2013 and sees a character called Ash die in a car accident, leaving behind his pregnant wife Martha. During Ash's funeral, Martha's friend Sarah tells her about a company which creates AI versions of dead people, by using personal data they had shared online. Initially reluctant, Martha eventually caves in and tries the service. As a result, she's able to chat with an Android Ash as if he was alive. Now, Black Mirror is well known for delving into possible future technological developments, which are sometimes purely the stuff of fantasy. But the scenario portrayed in that particular episode may become widespread in the near future. Are we saying this may actually be possible then? Do businesses see a lot of potential in deadbots?

Είμαι ο Δημήτρης και ακούω τον γρύλο από το μικρόφωνο της Μαριλένας. Μαριλένα: [0:30] Τελικά είναι γρύλος ή συναγερμός; Δημήτρης: [0:32] Είναι ένας γρύλος, ο οποίος εδώ και εβδομάδες παίζει και ακούμε αυτό το [ήχος] [ήχος] που κάνει ένας γρύλος (ναι) και είμαι σχεδόν σίγουρος ότι προέρχεται από κάποιον συναγερμό αυτό το πράγμα, αλλά δεν μπορώ να το εντοπίσω με τίποτα. Μαριλένα: [0:46] Ξέρεις τι μου θύμισε αυτό τώρα, όπως το είπες; Είναι σαν να 'ναι ένας σιδερένιος, έτσι, γρύλος και θυμήθηκα εκείνο το απαίσιο επεισόδιο... λογικά απαίσιο αφού είναι «Black Mirror»... του «Black Mirror» με τις μεταλλικές μέλισσες. Άκου τώρα τι θυμήθηκα... Άσχετο! Δημήτρης: [1:04] Ναι, το επεισόδιο που είναι οι μέλισσες που έχουνε αντικαταστήσει τις πραγματικές μέλισσες νομίζω και κάπως χακάρονται και επιτίθενται σε όποιον γίνεται cancel. Κάπως έτσι δεν ήτανε; Μαριλένα: [1:20] Δεν θυμάμαι. Δεν θυμάμαι τώρα την ιστορία, αλλά ήταν η πρώτη μου επαφή με το «Black Mirror». Πρέπει να κάνουμε ένα podcast γι' αυτό, γιατί πολλοί Easy Greekers δεν το ξέρουνε και είχα φρικάρει. Θυμάμαι αυτό ότι δεν υπήρχαν πια μέλισσες στον πλανήτη και θα τις αντικατι-... αντικαθιστούσαν με αυτές τις μεταλλικές και ήταν πολύ δυστοπικό και... δεν ξέρω, αυτό μου θύμισε τώρα. Δημήτρης: [1:44] Ναι, δυστοπικά... δυστοπικά πράγματα. Μαριλένα: [1:48] Ε, σαν αυτά που συμβαίνουν. Δημήτρης: [1:50] Όπως μας έχει συνηθίσει το «Black Mirror». Μαριλένα: [1:52] Ναι. Δημήτρης: [1:53] Αλλά η τελευταία σεζόν του «Black Mirror» είναι πολύ ωραία, δεν την έχω δει όλη βέβαια. Βγήκε πριν κάποιους μήνες, αλλά είχε κάποια επεισόδια φοβερά! Δηλαδή... μου μείνανε! Νομίζω ότι μετά από κάποια σεζόν που 'χε κάνει κοιλιά το «Black Mirror», η τελευταία πάλι είναι εξαιρετική. Μου θύμισε το παλιό καλό «Black Mirror». Μαριλένα: [2:12] Ωραία. Ίσως και να το δούμε μαζί. Δημήτρης: [2:14] Κάποια στιγμή, ναι. Λοιπόν, Μαριλού, σήμερα θα μιλήσουμε για διάφορα πραγματάκια, αλλά πριν μιλήσουμε για τα διάφορα πραγματάκια (ναι), θέλουμε να συζητήσουμε... Ναι, πες εσύ! Μαριλένα: [2:27] Ωραία. Δημήτρης: [2:27] Και θα πω και εγώ μετά. Μαριλένα: [2:28] Γιατί πάμε να πούμε το ίδιο πράγμα μάλλον. Εγώ έχω έρθει λίγο σαν βρεγμένη γάτα, παιδιά, σήμερα στο podcast.

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.

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.

“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.

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!
