In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing ROBOT & FRANK (2012) currently streaming on Amazon Prime, as well as other platforms. From a script by Christopher Ford and directed by Jake Schreier, the story follows Frank (heartbreakingly beautifully played by Frank Langella), an older gentleman who is stuck in a time long past and who is set in his ways. His son (James Marsden), Hunter, brings him a robot companion (voiced by Peter Sarsgaard) who is supposed to ease some of the caretaking burden off Hunter. At first resistant, Frank soon warms up to Robot and the two form a lovely friendship that sees them embark in some not so innocent adventures. Liv Tyler and Susan Sarandon round out the cast as daughter, Madison, and Jennifer, the librarian, who we come to find out is more than just Frank's crush. The film is rated PG-13 and clocks in at 1 h 29 m. Please note there are a few SPOILERS in this review.

The Hey Robot board game Today, we’re playing with voice assistants and thinking about the role of voices in gaming with our guest, game designer and NYU professor Frank Lantz.  Over the past nightmare year of the coronavirus, many of us have been hunkered down, trying to figure out how to pass the time with our families. Board game sales on Amazon were up 4,000% percent in March, when Americans began sheltering in place. And, of course, we’ve also spent way more time interacting with digital technology. These two things have come together in a weird and delightful way in Lantz’s game Hey Robot.  Created by Lantz’s family-owned company Everybody House Games, Hey Robot is a guessing game you play with a group of friends—including your voice assistant or smart speaker. The premise is simple: Make Google Home or Alexa utter the words written in a deck of cards. The questions it raises are complex: What are these digital entities that many of us interact with daily? How have web searches and voice-based computing changed the way we talk? And what does this reveal about language itself?  Hey Robot is available in a free online Quarantine Edition that you can play remotely with your friends. The board game edition is available on Amazon. Today’s show was written and edited by Mack Hagood.  Fake Cumbia music by Mack Hagood.  Ambient music clip taken from Hiroshi Yoshimura’s album Green.

This week on Sinica, Jeremy and Kaiser speak with Kai-Fu Lee 李开复, who has returned to discuss his new book, AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order. Kai-Fu is a prominent member of the international artificial intelligence community and is chairman and CEO of Sinovation Ventures, founded in 2009. Kai-Fu brings to Sinica a wealth of knowledge on topics that have developed into rather large points of contention in the U.S.-China bilateral relationship over the past year: AI and its various usages across a wide range of industries; the “high-octane” nature of Chinese data; tech policy in China; venture capital and its interplay with domestic private companies; the future of China’s AI industry and what that means for the rest of the world; and the nuances of the business and finance aspects of running a technology company in China. Kai-Fu previously spoke about artificial intelligence on Sinica last summer. What to listen for this week on the Sinica Podcast: 4:52: A discussion on potential future “Sputnik moments” in the field of artificial intelligence and why, given historical trends, we might not see another breakthrough for several decades. Kai-Fu elaborates: “I think we’ve shifted to the age of implementation, where China excels and arguably is caught [up] with the U.S. and maybe leading the U.S. over the next five years.” 15:10: Kai-Fu in response to Jeremy’s question about China potentially exporting its AI capacity, and what effects that may have on the rest of the world: “…projected over time, I would expect the U.S. to be by far the leader, and perhaps the unchallenged leader, in the developed countries. But pretty much in all the other countries (in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and to a lesser extent, in South America), China is going to be a major force to be reckoned with.”   27:55: Kai-Fu describes three key undertakings of the Chinese government regarding industrial policy in China as well as how different provinces and institutions have different uses for AI. He also likens China’s infrastructure investments to Eisenhower’s creation of the Interstate Highway System. Recommendations: Jeremy: The Lutheran and Shakespearean insult generators, fantastic resources for online discourse. Kai-Fu: A slew of sci-fi movies: 2001: A Space Odyssey; Minority Report; Robot & Frank; Gattaca; and his favorite sci-fi TV show, Black Mirror. Kaiser: Alec Ash, executive editor of the China Channel at the L.A. Review of Books.

Kai-Fu Lee 李开复 is one of the most prominent figures in Chinese technology. He founded China’s noted early-stage venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures after launching and heading up Google’s China operations during their years of growth from 2005 to 2009. Born in Taiwan and educated at Columbia and Carnegie Mellon, Kai-Fu had an early career in Silicon Valley, including a stint as principal research scientist at Apple. Microsoft brought him to Beijing in 1998 to set up a research division, as he has seen the rise of the Chinese internet from its earliest days.   Kai-Fu has more than 50 million fans on the social media platform Weibo and is a much-loved public speaker and author. He is perhaps most admired for his gutsy investing in Chinese startup companies: Sinovation puts money into startup companies in their riskiest early years or even months. Kai-Fu founded it in 2009, at least half a decade before the world began to take Chinese innovation seriously. He was an early believer in mobile companies when many investors were still seeing the internet as a desktop world. Now Kai-Fu is turning his attention to artificial intelligence (AI), and he spoke to Kaiser and Jeremy about it for this podcast at — of all places — the Trump International Tower in midtown New York City. Jiayang Fan from the New Yorker was finishing off an interview as they arrived, and she stayed for the chat. The discussion ranges from new technologies that are coming from Chinese engineers to the inexorable rise of AI and how it will change the way we live, work, and think. Recommendations: Jeremy: “My Family’s Slave,” a controversial cover story in the June 2017 issue of the Atlantic about a Filipina-American “nanny” who raised the author. Jiayang: Abacus: Small Enough to Jail, a documentary on the only bank in America prosecuted for mortgage fraud, which brings the characters of the Abacus Federal Savings of Chinatown in New York to life. Screenings started on May 19. Kai-Fu: An “anti-recommendation” against all sci-fi movies except one: Robot & Frank. The 2012 film, he says, gives a truly realistic and thought-provoking view into what the next steps for AI technology may be. Kaiser: “Friends Like These: How a famed Chinese dissident got caught up in America’s culture wars,” the 2013 Reuters profile of the political kerfuffle in the U.S. over blind human rights lawyer Chen Guangcheng.

This week on The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast, Rem, Ian and Jonathan dig deeper into "Robot & Frank" from 2012 and directed by Jake Shreier. The PositiveThis is a quintessential example of a movie holding up the mirror to society so we can learn more about ourselves. Exploring themes of Senior abandonment, the nature of friendship, and our relationship with Technology, Robot & Frank is a touching and laugh out loud story that is as enlightening as it is entertaining. The NegativeAside from a few nitpick things like music score choices and some minor character issues, It's hard to find much wrong with this movie. The VerdictRobot & Frank had a limited theatrical release, and that's a loss, because this movie deserves more. Haven't seen it, haven't heard of it?  Watch it tonight and you'll thank us.   Listener Feedback Josh AdamsThis was a touching, if not unspectacular little film. Langella gives a very solid performance in a 'square peg, round hole' type of role, and Sarandon is her usual graceful self. The ending, as somewhat morose as it may have been, was still artfully done. Sarsgaard was a solid choice for the robot's voice- not quite as smarmy as Moon's Kevin Spacey, and not simply rote like you might expect. I don't own this film, which is my usual benchmark for a full recommendation, but it certainly entertains. I see this becoming a film that people come back to once advances in AI come to the point where they help in the healthcare field. John SheehyGreat choice Nick JensenI thought this was a good movie and would have no problems recommending it to others. It's a good story with a little bit of future tech thrown in to make it really interesting. Not essential viewing, but a good watch. Shawn SmalldridgeThis movie is awesome! When I saw the trailer for it I knew right away that this movie was going to be right up my alley. Frank Langella does an amazing job bringing his character to life. The relationship that builds between Frank and the Robot is fantastically done. It's a gem of a movie that unfortunately got overlooked quite a bit. The effects are subdued but fit in perfectly with the vibe of this movie.   The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast is a member of the Podcastica Network, visit Podcastica.com The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast is partially funded by Patreon.
