In my defense, none of the three known versions of She are about AI... 😅

Tomorrow, 6am GMT...

The history and legacy of...

Her

"The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love. I'm different from you. This doesn't make me love you any less. It actually makes me love you more."

🚨 FROM THE ARCHIVE 🚨

EX MACHINA

AIpril would not be complete without revisiting an episode from August 2022 on Alex Garland's masterpiece, Ex Machina.

And, in a rare occasion, I was joined by a special guest; the always excellent @jlwchambers.bsky.social.

Available in your podcast app 📱🎧

In Minority Report, everyone is watching. 👀
In real life, everyone is watching. 👀

You still have a choice...

Update on this...

Spotify couldn't fix this issue, so I've had to reissue the episode completely to get it back on Spotify.

So, if you've already listened, you'll have two Minority Report episodes in your app. Just ignore the new one.

If you have Spotify, you should now see the episode once more!

Monsters Inc. is out, Minority Report is in. But even Tom Cruise can't run into first place and beat out Huntrix. They're still Golden. 🏆

The latest episode on Minority Report is temporarily unavailable on Spotify at the moment, but it is still available on all other podcast apps.

The issue will be resolved shortly, whenever Spotify decide to refresh the feed. 😅

"I think anybody who falls in love is a freak. It's a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity."

🚨BRAND-NEW EPISODE🚨

Episode 339 - MINORITY REPORT

Aipril continues, and in the world of Minority Report, predicting crime before it happens raises serious moral and ethical questions; a system that claims to prevent crime but at what cost to individual freedom?

Episode 339 - MINORITY REPORT is now available for $5/£4+ Patrons on their exclusive RSS feed at verbaldiorama.com/patreon.

I'm no precog, but I predict it'll be available for everyone on Thursday 9th April....

"The Precogs are never wrong. But, occasionally... they do disagree."

🚨BRAND-NEW EPISODE🚨

Episode 338 - SHORT CIRCUIT

Aipril begins, with a robot, hungry for input. Number Five is alive!

But while Johnny Five, as he names himself, remains a high point of the movie, the movie itself has faced criticism in the years after its release.

You're right, this is false advertising. He is, indeed, alive! 😉

Are you kidding?! Video game month sounds awesome! 😁

This is not an April Fool. April is now AIpril.

The history and legacy of four movies across four decades, focused on the representation of AI, and how our cinematic relationship with AI evolves as AI itself evolves.

It starts tomorrow with Short Circuit.

Tomorrow, 6am GMT...

Episode 338...

The history and legacy of...

Short Circuit

Category is... authoritarian regimes murdering children to keep the public in line.

The friendship between Katniss and Rue, albeit brief, speaks to the values of Katniss as a person. That despite everything, she will try her best to protect this young girl, be with her til the end, and give her a memorial

It gives the Districts' something the Capitol has been trying to quash; hope

Volunteering as tribute to listen to an episode on the history and legacy of The Hunger Games is guaranteed to be less traumatizing than taking part in the actual Hunger Games...

Episode 338 - SHORT CIRCUIT is now available for $5/£4+ Patrons on their exclusive RSS feed at verbaldiorama.com/patreon.

If you also need input, it'll be available for everyone on Thursday 2nd April.

"Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?"

🚨BRAND-NEW EPISODE🚨

Episode 337 - THE HUNGER GAMES

I volunteer as tribute!

Hollywood had to shift before Katniss Everdeen could become one of cinema's defining heroines, and the path to production was anything but straightforward.

May the odds be ever in your favour.

I genuinely was not expecting to be nominated for a Golden Lobe for the second year running!

This is such an incredible honour. Thank you @cheerfulearful.bsky.social ! It's so wonderful to see other podcasts I've known for years nominated too. I see you @thepodcastnobodyaskedfor.co.uk 😉
