We continue our current season looking at A.I. and technofear, exploring the malevolent forces lurking in our computers and the dark (possibly haunted?) depths of cyberspace. Joining us this episode is Brogan Morris, writer, journalist, and programmer for Distorted Frame Film Club, to discuss Joseph Sargeant’s 1970 techno-thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project (12:35) and Kyoshi Kurosawa’s 2001 Internet horror Pulse (01:02:34). We end with some Honourable Mentions of other films where technology is used for destructive and sinister purposes (01:58:38).

Content Warning: our discussion of Pulse contains references to suicide.
