A reflective, morally attentive wander through a week of television shaped by memory, technology, and the pressures of modern life — written and curated by Pat Harrington, with music by Tim Bragg.

This week’s Culture Vulture podcast traces an uncanny pattern running through the schedules, where dystopian futures sit beside social‑realist heartbreak, and questions of identity, truth, and reinvention echo across films and documentaries. From Minority Report and The Capture to Boys from the Blackstuff, Blade Runner 2049, and a rich spread of late‑night cinema, Pat Harrington guides you through the stories that speak to who we are and who we’re becoming. With original music by Tim Bragg, it’s a thoughtful, atmospheric companion to the week’s viewing.
