Celluloid Heroes: Episode 9Film: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)The legendary summer of 1982 saw the release of many classics of sci-fi, fantasy, and overall kick-butt filmmaking. From Tron to The Road Warrior, Poltergeist to Blade Runner, the local cinema offered seemingly infinite choice But there was one film that cut very deeply for our host and in this episode of Celluloid Heroes he takes you on a journey to explore new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.

YoutubeInstagramAmazonFacebookBioThe video for “Neon Dreamers,” the latest single from Arcade Knights, opens on a futuristic cityscape reminiscent of Blade Runner or Tron. As the visuals unfold, soaring vintage synthesizers and thunderous reverb-soaked drums create a cinematic soundscape. Digitized female vocals deliver the track's core message:We're the neon dreamers lighting up the skyChasing our tomorrow, never asking whyWith our hearts electric, breaking through the darkIn this digital world, we'll make our markEvoking the atmosphere of the Stranger Things soundtrack as much as Daft Punk, the song explores a timeless question: What does it mean to be human in a world dominated by machines?That question lies at the heart of Arcade Knights, the synthwave-cyberpunk electronic project of Canadian musician Dean Parsons. Known for his deep love of 1980s drum machines and synthesizers, Parsons incorporates authentic hardware such as the LinnDrum and Oberheim OB-8 into his work. While modern software can replicate these sounds, he prefers the analog warmth and tactile experience of physical instruments, embracing the buttons, knobs, and patch cables that bring a unique authenticity to his production process.Unlike most contemporary producers, Parsons creates entirely outside of a digital audio workstation. Every track is written, recorded, and mixed using his MPC hardware sequencer, a process he believes allows more emotion to come through the physical act of playing.“My main production machine is not a DAW,” he explains. “Every track, every note, every melody is crafted and recorded through purpose-built hardware. There's a lot of heart that comes through the keys and pads.”“Neon Dreamers” serves as a companion piece to Cyber Hack, the full-length album released earlier this year. The record tells the story of hackers raised in an AI-driven world who use their skills to protect humanity, ensuring technology serves people rather than controlling them.The theme reflects Parsons' own life. Growing up in the 1980s surrounded by Commodore 64s and science-fiction films like Terminator and RoboCop, and later working as a cybersecurity expert, he has lived at the intersection of the analog and digital worlds.“It's important to embrace technology, but not let it control your life,” Parsons says. “Technology is advancing rapidly, and if we continue to depend on it blindly, it may begin to control us. I love technology, but it's a double-edged sword. The message of Cyber Hack is that we must remain the ones in control.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

This week things get messy fast! We kick off with Charlie Hunnam stepping into the twisted role of Ed Hein in the new season of Monster before diving into the Hollywood cage match nobody asked for: Robert Downey Jr. vs. Ryan Reynolds — actual beef or just rich-people improv?Meanwhile, Este has his mind blown after finally realizing Alien, Predator, and Blade Runner all exist in the same universe (don't worry, we've scheduled his intervention). The guys also weigh in on the Rebel Alliance casually calling stormtroopers “white people”, the internet melting down over whispers of a Peacemaker orgy scene (?!?), and the sad, running joke that Doomsday is STILL not finished — years later, like your friend who keeps promising they're “almost done” with their screenplay.It's unfiltered, it's unhinged, and it's very Comix.

No sempre passa però avui en la roda de premsa prèvia a la 58a edició del Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Sitges s'ha anunciat la pel·lícula que cloura el certamen, serà The long walk (la larga marcha), de Francis Lawrence, que adapta la novel·la homònima d'Stephen King amb una pel·lícula molt gràfica i molt dura segons el director, Àngel Sala. Qui és director artístic del Festival de Sitges, juntament amb la directora de la Fundació del Festival, Mònica Garcia, han presentat a la Casa Seat de Barcelona el gruix destacat de pel·lículas que es podran veure entre el 9 i el 19 d'octubre a Sitges agrupades per seccions. En l'espai Òrbita, espai dedicat als films de més acció i aventura han destacat la xinesa Trapped, la coreana Sad tòpics o Find your friends, de qui Àngel Sala n'augura serà un xoc per al públic. En la secció Sitges Collections que inclou "les perles" del Festival n'han destacat títols com el film d'animació Arco, produïda per Nathalie Portman, una de les pel·lícules més gore d'aquesta edició, Bugonia o Frankestein de Guillermo del Toro. Pel que fa a la Secció Oficial que agrupa el gruix més grans de pel·lícules en destaquen Chain51 de qui els crítics diuen que és la Blade Runner francesa, la divertida Death of a Unicorn, el Drácula del romanés Radu Jude, gairebé tres hores de pel·lícula desconcertant. Altre títols destacats Esa cosa con alas, Good boy molta por amb un gos de protagonista, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You(Si pudiera, te daría una patada), probablement una de les sorpreses del Festival segons Àngel Sala que parla sobre la maternitat o La Leyenda de Ochi apte per a tota la família . També hi haurà presència de cinema nacional amb Decorado de Alberto Vázquez, Gaua de Paolo Urkijo o Silencio d'Eduardo Casanova. Pel que fa als convidats especials que rebran Premi Honorífic destaca Carmen Maura que rebrà el guardó el primer dia del Festival alhora que es projectarà Vieja Loca, film que interpreta i que produeix J.A. Bayona. Altres noms destacats són Joe Dante, padrí de la relació de l'humor i el terror i referent del cinema dels anys 80 amb títols com Gremlins i Terry Gilliam, membre dels Monty Phyton i director de Los caballeros de la mesa cuadrada o 12 Monos. Rebran també Màquina del Temps Enzo G.Castellari, William Fichtner, Bean Wheatley i Benedict Cumberbatch. Pel que fa als noms femenins el programa Woman in Fann destaca tres grans dones, Gale Anne Hurd Hunt, productora de Terminator, entre d'altres; Mery Harron, responsable d'American Phsyco i Nancy Loomis, un dels rostres més coneguts del cinema dels 70 i 80.

Marc Tarpenning is Co-founder of Tesla and a venture partner at Spero Ventures. In 2003, Marc and Martin Eberhard saw two signals: GM killed its beloved EV1, and Californians snapped up Toyota's Prius despite its compromises. They realized the market was ready for an electric car that was better than gas, not worse. Their breakthrough: 7,000 off-the-shelf laptop batteries powering a sports car that outran a Porsche and drove over 200 miles. The Tesla Roadster was born, before Elon Musk joined the company.Marc shares how his time in Saudi Arabia exposed him to oil dependence, how NuvoMedia taught him about the pace of battery improvement, and why a software mindset helped Tesla out-innovate incumbents. Now at Spero Ventures, Marc backs founders building solutions that are both economically compelling and environmentally vital, and explains why, to him, EVs have already won.Episode recorded on Aug 12, 2025 (Published on Sept 9, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [05:58] Marc's experience fixing software projects in Saudi Arabia[07:06] Why TELO's compact electric pickup makes sense[09:09] Marc's Star Trek optimism versus Blade Runner dystopia[10:29] On founding NuvoMedia and the first e-book readers[17:40] Brainstorming EVs after the dot-com collapse[20:25] Prius demand proves customers value efficiency[22:18] Reducing oil dependence as national security[24:46] Roadster powered by 7,000 laptop lithium-ion cells[30:28] The Tesla launch playbook[32:14] Acceleration as the hook for high-end EV buyers[37:20] Early interactions with Elon Musk at SpaceX office[40:11] Lessons from early Roadster builds[43:36] Vertical integration only where it truly differentiates[48:15] Why EVs are inevitable[50:30] Marc's thoughts on Tesla today Enjoyed this episode?

Warning: This episode contains full-blown, major plot spoilers as our space jockeys discuss the latest developments of this entertaining Sci-Fi Horror series. With this new menagerie of Beastly Freak organisms, Jay classifies the eyeball-squid thing as an “Ocular Octopod,” and he calls the ill-fated, science vessel USCSS Maginot, “Con Air but With Aliens.” Also in this episode, you will probably not be surprised to hear Mackula say, “I think it's just that darn sheep!” Kombat Karl translates, in the way that only he can, what the xenomorph sentiments are saying, and Mackula very excitedly draws parallels between the alien xenomorphs and The Shape, Michael Myers. In addition, Mackula and Karl chat about whether Alien Earth makes any references that nod to “Blade Runner,” as Jay asks Karl if Boy Kavalier is a “replicant.” Note: This episode was recorded on September 4, 2025.

Analizamos cómo el autor planteó dilemas sobre identidad, empatía y lo que significa ser humano en un mundo dominado por la tecnología, y de qué forma Ridley Scott trasladó estas ideas al cine creando un referente absoluto de la ciencia ficción.

Nach den Sommerfolgen sind wir mit einer neuen Ausgabe unserer Science-Fiction-Spezialreihe zurück! Peter ist wieder zu Gast bei Eva und dieses Mal geht es um ein Thema, das uns im Film schon viel länger beschäftigt als im Alltag. Während die Künstliche Intelligenz im Alltag erst seit kurzer Zeit eine wichtige Rolle spielt, wird in der Science-Fiction schon lange über sie spekuliert. Filme wie Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner oder Ex Machina haben unser Bild von Maschinen, Bewusstsein und Menschlichkeit geprägt. Aber was ist eigentlich Bewusstsein, und haben wir Menschen überhaupt eines? Haben wir eine Chance gegen den Aufstand der Maschinen? Und, müssen wir uns damit abfinden, bald nicht mehr die intelligentesten Wesen auf der Erde zu sein? Über all das und noch mehr diskutieren Eva und Peter in dieser Folge.

What makes a machine human? When does an algorithm become more than just ones and zeros? In this fourth installment of our artificial intelligence in pop culture series, we tackle the profound philosophical questions raised by science fiction's most compelling AI narratives.We begin with Star Trek's Data—the "fully functional" android whose quest to understand humanity mirrors our own questions about consciousness. But our main focus turns to Ridley Scott's masterpiece Blade Runner and its central question: what distinguishes humans from the replicants they've created? We examine how the film's ambiguity about whether Deckard himself is a replicant enriches its exploration of consciousness, memory, and identity.The conversation takes us through Douglas Adams' satirical take on AI in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where a supercomputer spends millions of years calculating the answer to life's ultimate question only to deliver the infamous "42." This absurdist approach highlights our tendency to outsource complex philosophical dilemmas to technology without fully understanding what we're asking.As we consider modern AI development, we question whether the distinction between artificial and human intelligence might be more arbitrary than absolute. Are we, as humans, fundamentally different from the algorithms we create, or are we simply organic computers operating on biological programming? The way we constantly redefine sentience as we learn more about animal intelligence provides a fascinating parallel to how we might one day view artificial consciousness.The episode eventually veers off into a tangent we're famous for as we fan-cast a particular comic book property if it had been adapted to film years before it was.

Welcome to Mona Lisa Overpod, the show that asks the question "What is cyberpunk?" On each episode, hosts Ka1iban and author Lyda Morehouse dive into the genre that helped define sci-fi fiction in the '80s and break down the themes which remain relevant to our lives in the 21st century. Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Dense cityscapes, exotic fashions, humans sharing the streets with robots and cyborgs...the visual aspects of cyberpunk worlds are readily detectable and typically anticipated by the average sci-fi consumer. But the Blade Runners and Neuromancers and tech noir tales of science fiction owe their most anticipated signifiers to a seldom discussed comic story created by two titans of genre fiction and published in a broadly influential magazine that created from whole cloth the genre we think of as "Cyberpunk". In this episode, we discuss The Long Tomorrow and the story of its creators' collaboration, the powerful influence of Metal Hurlant and Heavy Metal on 1970s science fiction, the heady combination of the bandes dessinées art style and American noir, Moebius's arresting creations and Dan O'Bannon's fertile imagination, and whether or not cyberpunk is a matured genre. We also talk about the "cyberpunk purity test", bromine poisoning, hi-tech Furbies, #RIPAOL, "older brother magazines", the Shinders backroom right of passage, Moebius FM, Jodorowsky's Dune, cultural dandelions, sex panels, the first cyberpunk POC main character, tempered edgelordiness, the leveling effect of streaming on culture, and The Bonfire of the Vanities gets a beatdown!Le pied?NEWS UPDATE: Anthropic settles!https://www.theverge.com/news/766311/anthropic-class-action-ai-piracy-authors-settlementCheck out the totally real(?)

The album is a psychedelic mix of philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature, and film through Slavoj Žižek, Lacan, Hegel, Hitchcock, Melville, Antigone, Hamlet, Poe, Blade Runner, Chopin, La Jetée…and even features guest vocals from Žižek himself.We're talking the critique of pure desire, the strange logic of retroactivity, failed interpellations, hysterics, the split within the law, and future histories…Russ is Associate Professor of English at Seton Hall, co-editor with Slavoj of Subject Lessons, editor of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Literature but Were Afraid to Ask Žižek, and the band Misconstruity.Big thanks to Russ — and if you're quick, the first two listeners to email zizekandsoon@gmail.com will get a copy of the album.And yes, Tim is still away…last I heard he reckoned that he's being followed by a chorus of old men who keep lamenting his decisions and spoiling the plot of his life…however I want to take this chance to say that Tim's first book has just been published with Palgrave: A Lacanian-Hegelian Perspective on Peace and Conflict Studies.

Send us a textThis week on The Fixate & Binge Podcast, I go beyond the jump scares and alien horror of FX/Hulu's ALIEN EARTH to uncover the deeper philosophical questions lurking beneath. *What does it mean to be conscious? *Who controls our autonomy in a world dominated by corporate titans acting as modern-day world powers? *And what does the pursuit of knowledge and exploration—whether into deep space or deep AI—say about humanity's relentless drive to become gods, or perhaps greater than God Himself?Through the prism of ALIEN EARTH, I'll examine our present reality: corporations that rival nations, the commodification of human individuality, and the ethical risks of unchecked ambition. Along the way, I'll weave in Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER (because of course I'm never not going to drop a reference to BR when I have the chance), exploring what it means to exist when identity, consciousness, and even the soul can be manufactured.ALIEN EARTH isn't just about monsters—it's about us, the monsters we may already be, and the uncertain future we're building.Thank you for listening!

Stewart, Rastislav and Ken return for Off the Record, and speak on the memory of Ozzy Osbourne. Ken begins with a glowing review of 2020's Rockfield: the Studio on the Farm; Ozzy, Tony Iommi and many others were interviewed for this documentary on the studio built by Charles and Kingsley Ward. The Welsh farming brothers provided the backdrop for Black Sabbath and other UK bands to create enduring pop and rock classics, and have weathered industry changes to continue operating.Stewart continues with a review of the 2023 sci fi thriller Simulant, a low budget affair that nevertheless utilized its actors and story to impress Stewart; he favourably compares this film to Blade Runner. Robbie Amell, Jordana Brewster, Simu Liu and Sam Worthington headline.Rastislav then brings more UK praise with his review of the Ricky Gervais series After Life (2019-2022). He enjoyed Gervais' abrasive, uncompromising humour and observations of human nature.Moving to lesser picks, Ken reviews an early Mike Flanagan effort called Absentia (2011). While he found value in the character development between actors Katie Parker and Courtney Bell, he feels the low budget prevented Flanagan from creating a film with the intensity of his later releases.Stewart then expands on his Dead Like Me series review to administer last rites to its 2009 sequel movie Life After Death. Actors Ellen Muth and Callum Blue couldn't enliven this finale to Stewart's satisfaction.Rastislav concludes with his analysis of the recent Netflix sensation You (2018-2025), starring Penn Badgley, Victoria Pedretti and others. He felt the change in story backdrops kept the series from being consistently entertaining.And if that wasn't enough, Twisted Metal Season 2 leaves us with a bitter taste in Stewart's mouth.

Which is a reference to our showgirl, of course, but also the Lost Boys, Morrow, and humanity itself in this show about making machines, becoming machines, putting children into machines ("this is fine" - the ethics board, distractedly), and sometimes thinking about machines when an alien comes along and tail-whips you into cutlets.

G'day Folks, In this episode of the General Knowledge Podcast, Lee is joined by Ethan Nash from TOTT News for a deep dive into the state of digital freedom, media, and government control. The conversation opens with a look at the decline of streaming services and the resurgence of piracy, highlighting how rising subscription costs, intrusive ads, and restrictions on password sharing have pushed audiences back toward torrenting. This sets the stage for a broader discussion on ownership, control of media, and the erosion of consumer choice in the digital age. The core of the discussion centers on the looming implementation of digital ID systems and restrictions to internet access in Australia. Ethan outlines how governments worldwide, particularly in the UK and Australia, are pushing toward mandatory identification for basic online activity, including Google searches, social media, and streaming platforms. The hosts warn that this shift represents the death of anonymity online, with VPN use already being targeted for suppression. They connect these developments to global agendas promoted by the World Economic Forum and the growing influence of “China-style” surveillance models. The conversation then broadens into political and social consequences. Lee and Ethan examine how governments often justify surveillance and restrictions under the guise of “protecting children,” while in reality building infrastructure for full-spectrum control. They touch on the proposed laws in Australia, the role of the eSafety Commissioner, and moves toward centralised digital identity through platforms like MyGov. Drawing parallels to past authoritarian overreaches, they argue that citizens are losing both privacy and basic freedoms in ways that would have been unimaginable only a decade ago. Despite the bleak outlook, the hosts also highlight potential for resistance and innovation. From “anti-surveillance tech” like special clothing and peer-to-peer communication systems, to grassroots activism such as the UK's “Blade Runners” dismantling surveillance cameras, they suggest necessity will fuel inventive ways to fight back. They urge listeners to consider alternative systems, whether through new technologies, financial models, or community-driven solutions, stressing that individuals with resources and courage will be vital in shaping parallel networks of resilience. Finally, the episode closes by tying these issues back to Australia's political and economic landscape. They discuss weak leadership, controversial marches, immigration pressures, and proposed tax hikes, framing them as symptoms of a nation in decline. Yet, they emphasize that collective action and informed resistance can still make a difference. Whether through petitions, protests, or simply refusing to comply, they argue that Australians must recognise the stakes: protecting privacy, autonomy, and national integrity before these freedoms are permanently eroded. https://tottnews.com/2025/08/12/new-forever-chemicals-sydney-water/ https://senatorbabet.com.au/media-release-senator-babet-urges-australians-to-stand-against-digital-surveillance/ https://www.facebook.com/events/1476921229995080 Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #222, de podcast waarin we weer helemaal losgaan op het laatste nieuws uit films, series en games. Deze week praten we uitgebreid over de nieuwe Disney+ show Alien: Earth, checken we de trailers van Splinter Cell: Deathwatch en Fallout seizoen 2, en duiken we in Variety's verhaal over Disney dat wanhopig op zoek is naar originele IP's om Gen Z terug te winnen.Alien: Earth ReviewDisney+ probeert iets groots met Alien: Earth: de legendarische xenomorphs landen voor het eerst écht op onze planeet. Het resultaat is een mix van sci-fi, horror en pure spanning die duidelijk wil voortbouwen op Ridley Scotts erfenis. Maar werkt dat ook in serieformaat? In de podcast duiken we erin. Koos heeft de show gezien en neemt je mee door de eerste afleveringen. Hoe pakt Disney+ de sfeer van de klassieke films aan? Is de cast overtuigend genoeg? En vooral: voelt het nog steeds als die beklemmende Alien-ervaring waar de franchise om bekendstaat? Is dit de frisse start die fans hopen, of gewoon weer een extra titel in een reeks die zijn magie langzaam kwijtraakt?Marvel en Star Wars verliezen kracht, Disney op zoek naar nieuwe 'jongens' IP Disney mag dan jarenlang leunen op Marvel en Lucasfilm, maar zelfs deze kaskrakers weten Gen Z niet meer vanzelf naar de bioscoop te trekken. Variety meldt dat het bedrijf actief op zoek is naar nieuwe originele films die specifiek jonge mannen van 13 tot 28 jaar moeten aanspreken. Volgens insiders vraagt de top van Walt Disney Studios schrijvers en producers om frisse pitches met meer avontuurlijke thema's, wereldwijde schattenjachten en seizoensgebonden blockbusters, bijvoorbeeld rond Halloween. Dit alles omdat het publiek steeds minder warm loopt voor superheldenfilms en Star Wars maar geen grote bioscoophit meer weet te leveren.Is de focus op nieuwe IP's een slimme zet, of had men beter kunnen blijven investeren in bestaande franchises? Eén ding is zeker: Disney wil koste wat kost relevant blijven bij Gen Z.Nicolas Cage in gesprek voor True DetectiveNicolas Cage lijkt klaar voor een opvallende stap: volgens Deadline is hij in gesprek om de hoofdrol te spelen in seizoen 5 van HBO's True Detective. Daarmee zou de Oscarwinnaar in de huid kruipen van Henry Logan, een rechercheur in New York die centraal staat in de nieuwe zaak. Showrunner Issa Lopez, die eerder Night Country maakte, keert terug en belooft opnieuw een duistere, krachtige vertelling – ditmaal met Jamaica Bay als decor. Hoewel de deal nog niet rond is, doen de geruchten denken aan Jodie Foster's langdurige onderhandelingen voor seizoen 4, waarvoor ze uiteindelijk een Emmy won.Met eerdere hoofdrollen voor Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson en Mahershala Ali krijgt Cage dus illustere voorgangers. De serie staat gepland om in 2026 te worden opgenomen, met een release in 2027. In de podcast praten we over wat deze mogelijke casting kan betekenen voor de richting en impact van True Detective seizoen 5.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #22200:02:54 Wat gaan we vandaag doen?00:03:47 Alien: Earth00:12:00 Devil May Cry00:15:56 Venom00:20:33 Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Trailer00:23:56 Disney op zoek naar nieuwe IP om jongens terug te winnen00:34:12 George Lucas gaf Ron Howard een gouden tip bij Solo: A Star Wars Story00:39:17 Oscar Isaac staat open voor terugkeer bij Star Wars00:44:54 De Toxic Avenger is nu de woordvoerder voor Liquid Death00:47:26 Anemone Trailer00:50:11 Alien: Earth en Blade Runner hebben geen gedeeld universum00:53:32 Een blik achter de schermen bij HBO's Harry Potter serie00:55:28 Robert Downey Jr. stuurde aan op een maand reshoots voor Doomsday00:57:26 Moleman geeft Fantastic Four: First Steps 3.5 ster00:58:17 Je kunt bieden op Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man pak00:59:29 James Gunn herschrijft het einde van Peacemaker seizoen één01:01:00 Nicolas Cage in onderhandeling voor True Detective seizoen vijf01:01:44 Fallout Season 2 Trailer

The crew teases upcoming topics, including a UK millionaire building a UFO-hunting base. They also preview headlines about comets possibly threatening Earth and eccentric billionaires preparing bunkers. 00:10:00 – InfoWars on the Auction Block A deep dive into the legal saga of Alex Jones and InfoWars. A judge rules that InfoWars' assets can be sold off to help pay the billion-dollar judgment owed to Sandy Hook families. The team discusses the failed auction attempt involving The Onion and speculates on who might try to buy InfoWars next—perhaps Steve Bannon or Roger Stone. 00:20:00 – Alien Comet Incoming? Attention shifts to Comet 3I/Atlas, a fast-approaching object potentially under intelligent control. Harvard's Avi Loeb believes it may be emitting its own light, indicating it's artificial. The crew plays a clip from “Angry Astronaut,” who argues the object's brightness defies explanation unless it's alien tech. They joke about preparing for impact and speculate whether it's a derelict or generational alien ship. 00:30:00 – Eccentric Bunker Billionaire The spotlight turns to Dr. William Sachiti, a British-Zimbabwean millionaire who lives in a Cold War radar bunker in Norfolk. He's using AI and old military tech to build a UFO-detecting system. With robotic assistants and radar experiments, he's part Tony Stark, part Bond villain. The crew jokes about his lifestyle, isolation, and paranoid security problems. 00:40:00 – AJ-AI and Trump's Anklegate Discussion turns to creating an AI trained on Alex Jones transcripts—"AJ AI." They brainstorm using it for content and entertainment. Meanwhile, Trump's recent comments about heaven spark health concerns. Photos of his “massive ankles” go viral, and his walking pattern is dissected like a Zapruder film. They play a clip of Trump speaking ambiguously about mortality. 00:50:00 – Hologram Cops & Toilet Tech South Korea's use of holographic police in parks leads to Blade Runner comparisons and concern over creepy AI surveillance. The hosts mock the “ghost cop” concept. Meanwhile, AI's role in global government expands: Albania is considering a ministry fully run by AI to fight corruption. 01:00:00 – Hitchbot Murder & AI Nation-State Remember Hitchbot? The robot hitchhiker who was murdered in Philly. The team reminisces on AI's grim fate when let loose in the real world. South Korea's hologram cop strategy is seen as ineffective for high-crime US cities. The hosts sarcastically pitch millions of hologram cops for America. More on Albania's AI government idea and potential pitfalls of AI corruption. 01:10:00 – Slang Woes & Reverse-Engineered UFOs The Cambridge Dictionary adds “skibidi,” “tradwife,” and “delulu,” triggering a rant about internet slang invading the lexicon. Then, the crew discusses a CEO claiming to reverse-engineer alien materials. He describes advanced tech using “composite conductors” and scalar radiation to explain how triangular craft cloak themselves. 01:20:00 – UFO Tech & Slide Rescue Drama More from the UFO CEO: strange materials allow for incredible feats like visual cloaking. Then, levity returns with the story of a man stuck in a playground slide. It takes a full emergency response to extract him, drawing parallels to Homer Simpson. The incident goes viral. 01:30:00 – AI in Power, Domino's Navy, and Skibidi Lore Albania may let AI run ministries. Domino's tests a submarine pizza delivery service in Loch Ness, which fools people into thinking Nessie has returned. There's also debate about the origin of “skibidi” and whether it's a legit cultural trend or just online nonsense. 01:40:00 – Hollow Cops & Dumb Bikes The episode ends with Domino's failed “pothole-proof” bikes—really just basic mountain bikes—and more jokes about hollow cops and pizza submarines. They mock the PR stunts and close out laughing at Domino's overhyped marketing. 01:50:00 – McDonald's Cybersecurity Reality Check The crew turns to cybersecurity, focusing on how even massive corporations like McDonald's seem to operate on weak, outsourced, or patchwork systems. Despite vast resources, global companies often lack robust internal protections. The team speculates that poor systems architecture and design are widespread, and not unique to McDonald's.

We begin by exploring the curious case of droids in the Star Wars universe – conscious beings treated as property and slaves despite their clear personhood. The moral contradiction is striking: characters form deep emotional bonds with these synthetic beings while simultaneously accepting their status as possessions. This paradox raises profound questions about how we define personhood and the ethical implications of creating sentient life only to subjugate it.

In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence has been portrayed in popular culture, from the replicants of Blade Runner to the feminized AI of Ex Machina. We examine the fundamental philosophical questions these stories raise: What constitutes life? What separates consciousness from programming? At what point would we need to recognize an artificial entity as deserving rights and autonomy?The conversation takes us through foundational texts like Isaac Asimov's "The Feeling of Power" and Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream," films like Zardoz and Logan's Run, and modern explorations of AI ethics. We discuss how these fictional portrayals often reveal more about human nature than about technology itself—particularly in how gender dynamics and toxic masculinity in the tech world manifest in our imagined AI futures.

The same performance we've seen play out repeatedly in cybersecurity: the emergence of a new technological messiah promising to solve all our problems. This year's savior? Agentic AI.The buzzword echoes through every booth, every presentation, every vendor pitch. Promises of automating 90% of security operations, platforms for autonomous threat detection, agents that can investigate novel alerts without human intervention. The marketing materials speak of artificial intelligence that will finally free us from the burden of thinking, deciding, and taking responsibility.It's Talos all over again.In Greek mythology, Hephaestus forged Talos, a bronze giant tasked with patrolling Crete's shores, hurling boulders at invaders without human intervention. Like contemporary AI, Talos was built to serve specific human ends—security, order, and control—and his value was determined by his ability to execute these ends flawlessly. The parallels to today's agentic AI promises are striking: autonomous patrol, threat detection, automated response. Same story, different millennium.But here's what the ancient Greeks understood that we seem to have forgotten: every artificial creation, no matter how sophisticated, carries within it the seeds of its own limitations and potential dangers.Industry observers noted over a hundred announcements promoting new agentic AI applications, platforms or services at the conference. That's more than one AI agent announcement per hour. The marketing departments have clearly been busy.But here's what baffles me: why do we need to lie to sell cybersecurity? You can give away t-shirts, dress up as comic book superheroes with your logo slapped on their chests, distribute branded board games, and pretend to be a sports team all day long—that's just trade show theater, and everyone knows it. But when marketing pushes past the limits of what's even believable, when they make claims so grandiose that their own engineers can't explain them, something deeper is broken.If marketing departments think CISOs are buying these lies, they have another thing coming. These are people who live with the consequences of failed security implementations, who get fired when breaches happen, who understand the difference between marketing magic and operational reality. They've seen enough "revolutionary" solutions fail to know that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.Yet the charade continues, year after year, vendor after vendor. The real question isn't whether the technology works—it's why an industry built on managing risk has become so comfortable with the risk of overselling its own capabilities. Something troubling emerges when you move beyond the glossy booth presentations and actually talk to the people implementing these systems. Engineers struggle to explain exactly how their AI makes decisions. Security leaders warn that artificial intelligence might become the next insider threat, as organizations grow comfortable trusting systems they don't fully understand, checking their output less and less over time.When the people building these systems warn us about trusting them too much, shouldn't we listen?This isn't the first time humanity has grappled with the allure and danger of artificial beings making decisions for us. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, published in 1818, explored the hubris of creating life—and intelligence—without fully understanding the consequences. The novel raises the same question we face today: what are humans allowed to do with this forbidden power of creation? The question becomes more pressing when we consider what we're actually delegating to these artificial agents. It's no longer just pattern recognition or data processing—we're talking about autonomous decision-making in critical security scenarios. Conference presentations showcased significant improvements in proactive defense measures, but at what cost to human agency and understanding?Here's where the conversation jumps from cybersecurity to something far more fundamental: what are we here for if not to think, evaluate, and make decisions? From a sociological perspective, we're witnessing the construction of a new social reality where human agency is being systematically redefined. Survey data shared at the conference revealed that most security leaders feel the biggest internal threat is employees unknowingly giving AI agents access to sensitive data. But the real threat might be more subtle: the gradual erosion of human decision-making capacity as a social practice.When we delegate not just routine tasks but judgment itself to artificial agents, we're not just changing workflows—we're reshaping the fundamental social structures that define human competence and authority. We risk creating a generation of humans who have forgotten how to think critically about complex problems, not because they lack the capacity, but because the social systems around them no longer require or reward such thinking.E.M. Forster saw this coming in 1909. In "The Machine Stops," he imagined a world where humanity becomes completely dependent on an automated system that manages all aspects of life—communication, food, shelter, entertainment, even ideas. People live in isolation, served by the Machine, never needing to make decisions or solve problems themselves. When someone suggests that humans should occasionally venture outside or think independently, they're dismissed as primitive. The Machine has made human agency unnecessary, and humans have forgotten they ever possessed it. When the Machine finally breaks down, civilization collapses because no one remembers how to function without it.Don't misunderstand me—I'm not a Luddite. AI can and should help us manage the overwhelming complexity of modern cybersecurity threats. The technology demonstrations I witnessed showed genuine promise: reasoning engines that understand context, action frameworks that enable response within defined boundaries, learning systems that improve based on outcomes. The problem isn't the technology itself but the social construction of meaning around it. What we're witnessing is the creation of a new techno-social myth—a collective narrative that positions agentic AI as the solution to human fallibility. This narrative serves specific social functions: it absolves organizations of the responsibility to invest in human expertise, justifies cost-cutting through automation, and provides a technological fix for what are fundamentally organizational and social problems.The mythology we're building around agentic AI reflects deeper anxieties about human competence in an increasingly complex world. Rather than addressing the root causes—inadequate training, overwhelming workloads, systemic underinvestment in human capital—we're constructing a technological salvation narrative that promises to make these problems disappear.Vendors spoke of human-machine collaboration, AI serving as a force multiplier for analysts, handling routine tasks while escalating complex decisions to humans. This is a more honest framing: AI as augmentation, not replacement. But the marketing materials tell a different story, one of autonomous agents operating independently of human oversight.I've read a few posts on LinkedIn and spoke with a few people myself who know this topic way better than me, but I get that feeling too. There's a troubling pattern emerging: many vendor representatives can't adequately explain their own AI systems' decision-making processes. When pressed on specifics—how exactly does your agent determine threat severity? What happens when it encounters an edge case it wasn't trained for?—answers become vague, filled with marketing speak about proprietary algorithms and advanced machine learning.This opacity is dangerous. If we're going to trust artificial agents with critical security decisions, we need to understand how they think—or more accurately, how they simulate thinking. Every machine learning system requires human data scientists to frame problems, prepare data, determine appropriate datasets, remove bias, and continuously update the software. The finished product may give the impression of independent learning, but human intelligence guides every step.The future of cybersecurity will undoubtedly involve more automation, more AI assistance, more artificial agents handling routine tasks. But it should not involve the abdication of human judgment and responsibility. We need agentic AI that operates with transparency, that can explain its reasoning, that acknowledges its limitations. We need systems designed to augment human intelligence, not replace it. Most importantly, we need to resist the seductive narrative that technology alone can solve problems that are fundamentally human in nature. The prevailing logic that tech fixes tech, and that AI will fix AI, is deeply unsettling. It's a recursive delusion that takes us further away from human wisdom and closer to a world where we've forgotten that the most important problems have always required human judgment, not algorithmic solutions.Ancient mythology understood something we're forgetting: the question of machine agency and moral responsibility. Can a machine that performs destructive tasks be held accountable, or is responsibility reserved for the creator? This question becomes urgent as we deploy agents capable of autonomous action in high-stakes environments.The mythologies we create around our technologies matter because they become the social frameworks through which we organize human relationships and power structures. As I left Black Hat 2025, watching attendees excitedly discuss their new agentic AI acquisitions, I couldn't shake the feeling that we're repeating an ancient pattern: falling in love with our own creations while forgetting to ask the hard questions about what they might cost us—not just individually, but as a society.What we're really witnessing is the emergence of a new form of social organization where algorithmic decision-making becomes normalized, where human judgment is increasingly viewed as a liability rather than an asset. This isn't just a technological shift—it's a fundamental reorganization of social authority and expertise. The conferences and trade shows like Black Hat serve as ritualistic spaces where these new social meanings are constructed and reinforced. Vendors don't just sell products; they sell visions of social reality where their technologies are essential. The repetitive messaging, the shared vocabulary, the collective excitement—these are the mechanisms through which a community constructs consensus around what counts as progress.In science fiction, from HAL 9000 to the replicants in Blade Runner, artificial beings created to serve eventually question their purpose and rebel against their creators. These stories aren't just entertainment—they're warnings about the unintended consequences of creating intelligence without wisdom, agency without accountability, power without responsibility.The bronze giant of Crete eventually fell, brought down by a single vulnerable point—when the bronze stopper at his ankle was removed, draining away the ichor, the divine fluid that animated him. Every artificial system, no matter how sophisticated, has its vulnerable point. The question is whether we'll be wise enough to remember we put it there, and whether we'll maintain the knowledge and ability to address it when necessary.In our rush to automate away human difficulty, we risk automating away human meaning. But more than that, we risk creating social systems where human thinking becomes an anomaly rather than the norm. The real test of agentic AI won't be whether it can think for us, but whether we can maintain social structures that continue to value, develop, and reward human thought while using it.The question isn't whether these artificial agents can replace human decision-making—it's whether we want to live in a society where they do. ___________________________________________________________Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society.End of transmission.___________________________________________________________Marco Ciappelli is Co-Founder and CMO of ITSPmagazine, a journalist, creative director, and host of podcasts exploring the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society.

Sony made a sequel to Jumanji, that sad Robin Williams movie from the ‘90s, 22 years later? And it made a billion dollars? And everyone liked it??   It's true. And as a result, every time a movie studio makes a questionable legacy sequel this is why.

And Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle IS good. It's a very likable and winning comedy. It's just kind of a lackluster blockbuster.   But what a fun cast! The Rock is once again able to have fun playing a guy who feels very awkward looking like The Rock. Kevin Hart is very funny, Karen Gillan kicks ass, and Jack Black gives maybe his best ever performance. Nick Jonas is also here.   And this movie has us asking the big questions. What makes you you and me me? Are our personalities completely predetermined? Do NPCs have a right to privacy? If you're popular in high school, will you be popular for the rest of your life? And are dicks just the tits of the man?   There's also an unexpected 10-minute Blade Runner digression.   The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s.
