In this special, early Christmas Day release, Ben and Tao upload themselves into neural noir, cyber arthouse, psychological horror, Observer. As they detangle the convoluted murder mystery, Ben finds his inner Luddite, Tao imagines cyber-limbed, animal-spliced, Super Tao, and discussion veers into dangerous political territory, sordid subject matters, and extensive deliberation over dystopian futurism. Story spoilers late in the pod, but it's a short game, so either play it first or don't complain! Content Warning: PEGI 17. This is seriously dark and very explicit. Sorry. Also, Tao's cat miaows offensively in the background. Clarifications: Observer music is by composer Arkadiusz Reikowski The main character is called Daniel Lazarski The upcoming ‘cyber renaissance' game from Greedfall devs, Spiders, is called Steelrising (apparently at Spiders, titles either rise or fall…) The film Ben references on the theme of uploading consciousness is Transcendence, a 2014 American science fiction thriller directed by Wally Pfister and written by Jack Paglen.

ALIEN: CONVENANT (2017) Screenplay by John Logan and Dante Harper Story by Jack Paglen and Michael Green Directed by Ridley Scott Scott Free Productions/Brandywine Productions/20th Century Fox 122 minutes, rated R Team Zombie got a chance to attend a press screener of Ridley Scott's latest foray into the universe he created over 30 years ago, and Mr. Adair and Mr. Harvey sit down with Miss Inlow to have a chat about it. It... isn't pretty. Timothy: "Science Lady" is Karine Oram, played by Carmen Ejogo. Dustin: I can't remember names, you know that. Timothy: "Capable Pilot Lady/Tennessee's Wife" is Maggie Farris, played by Amy Seimetz. Dustin: I liked her, but nope. Not going to stick. Timothy: She was good in Wristcutters: A Love Story and Upstream Color, and she's a director and writer in her own right. Dustin: What are you doing here, with this? Timothy: Well, considering one of the problems with this film is how it is crap at establishing relationships between characters, or even defining most of the characters outside of the jobs they do, making them either interchangeable or making some people - you, for example - have to use nicknames like "Science Lady" to remember what they actually do in the film... Dustin: You decided to try and help me by telling me their names and who played them. You know this doesn't work, right? Beth from THE WALKING DEAD was "Daughter-Fodder" for two years, Tim. Two years. Timothy: I continue to hold out hope. Demián Bichir played Sergeant Lope, the head of security. His character was married to the security guy who got sick and, well, spoilers, I suppose. That guy was Nathaniel Dean, playing Hallett, who we know was married to Lope because the Wikipedia page says so. Dustin: I do know who played the young couple I liked, who did the things on the ship and stuff. That was Jussie Smollett and Callie Hernandez. I don't remember the names of their characters because the film doesn't care about that stuff either. Mindy: So are you two going to sit here and throw shade at the film or just let people cut the chase and hear what you really think about ALIEN: COVENANT? Sheesh. Hey Folks-at-Home? Listen to these two tell me all about the movie they saw, here on this special movie edition of Zombpocalypse Now. Then tell us what you think and we'll be back with more undead things next week.

The path to making a successful science fiction film is one filled with many a traps and pitfalls. The storywriters must be vigilant not to mess with the laws of science, at least not too much; the fictitious elements must be carefully managed so they don't infringe on the story; and above all, the story must be guided by an idea that most viewers could relate to. But even if all these requirements were met, there is always the chance that the old folks at the Academy wouldn't appreciate the effort. Wally Pfister doesn't have to worry about Academy recognition with his directorial debut "Transcendence"; he's got smaller fish to fry. His chicly-named thriller is written by Jack Paglen, who is not widely known indeed. But Christopher Nolan is also on board the project as executive producer, so it is a bit hard to tell who masterminded the brainy script. The story centers on artificial intelligence, nano-technology, mind control and cyborgs. A computer scientist manages to develop a sentient machine before he is assassinated by anti-science activists. In an attempt to save his life, his partner in research and life uploads his consciousness to the AI, which gives the lingering soul unlimited power in an age of information technology. Now, with great power comes great responsibility, but also greater danger, because he is still hunted by his murderers, who seem pretty determined to end his existence as many times as necessary. When I said it is hard to tell who was responsible for the story, I mean it contains the sophistication commonly seen in Christopher Nolan films: the kind of sophistication that programs your mind to think about prescribed questions. It is difficult not to, but if you play along, you are in for answers that totally deviate from what you've been warmed up to expect. From this side of the argument, "Transcendence" is intellectually satisfying. But on the other hand, due to some small, but obvious mishandling of common sense, the film can also be quite annoying. To explain this, we must reveal a little spoiler: when the anti-science activists seek to destroy the AI's internet-based dominance over the world, they plant a virus on a real person and send her to the den of their foe. But the AI practically lives on the internet; the easiest way to reach it is by connecting the virus to any internet interface. But that would mean lack of spectacles, which in turn means a more boring movie. The investors put money on a cinematographer-turned-director to make spectacular, money-making films, so Pfister is compelled to deliver the visual thrill at the expense of common sense.
is the directorial debut of cinematographer Wally Pfister, who used to work with Christopher Nolan. It has received negative to average ratings in the international market. However, in China, where the film is screened in 3D, there seems to be some efforts among the viewers to try and understand the ideas behind the story.
