Christmas comes but once a year. We know you're tired of the debates about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie or a Harry Potter movie. We get it.

This year our gift to you is to ramble on about one of our favorite Stanley Kubrick films, Eyes Wide Shut. This film is gorgeous and dreamy and is overlooked because of one particular scene.

In an environment where androids are met with hostility and outrage by human beings, "Kill Al" tells the story of Femtel 216 and Femtel 303, two female synthetic beings confined to work in a sub-basement of an auditing firm. Each discovers their own emotional life—one through art, the other through being abused and the aggressive emotions that follow thereafter.

.

.

Writer/Director Walter Brandes and Producer/Star Christine Verleney came on the show to talk about all things Sci-Fi, world-building, and self-driving car accountability.

Determined to party at Sundance, three entitled young women meet up at an LA member's only club to make a selection-worthy short film. In an unholy fusion of wokeness and cluelessness, they build a narrative from atop the high perch of their privilege. And piece-by-piece, they almost, almost, almost give a voice to the voiceless — just without ever having any idea what they're talking about. But they are perfectly positioned to make it happen.

.

.

Writer/Director Poppy Gordon and I had a wonderful and deep conversation about a lot of the heavy issues that her film touches on. Props to Poppy for making a pitch perfect satire tackling a lot of issues that we don't hear conversations about.
