EX MACHINA and the Rise of AI Sentience: From Ava to LaMDA |2.2|

Film on the Fringe explores the strange connections between movies and the real-world myths, conspiracies, and forgotten histories that inspired them. Each episode unpacks a genre film—horror, sci-fi, or fantasy—then follows the threads into folklore, fringe science, paranormal encounters, and speculation.

From werewolves and AI to haunted houses and UFOs, we uncover what’s real, what’s myth, and what lies in between.

🎬 Recent episodes include: 
– Ginger Snaps, The Wolfman, and modern werewolf sightings
– Ex Machina and the line between artificial intelligence and emergent consciousness
– The Conjuring 2, the real Enfield Poltergeist, and my encounter with Ed and Lorraine Warren
– The War of the Worlds and warnings of a fake alien invasion
– The Quiet Ones, the Philip Experiment, and mind-over-matter ghost stories

🧠 Coming soon: 
– Jurassic Park, dinosaurs, Doyle vs. Houdini, and Young Earth Creationism
– The Last of Us, White Zombie, and the evolution of the undead
