Oscar winner and Hollywood star Michael Douglas sits down with journalist Malte Herwig... and gets asked the question. The one his publicist would kill. The one Malte's AI co-hosts call "high-risk, zero-reward."

This ep is a deep-dive debate on that one interview. We get into it all:

  • The Basic Instinct Legacy: Douglas's very '90s defense of the "ice-pick murderer" and why the problematic representation still matters.
  • Algorithmic Bias: Why studios called Liberace "too gay" (a data-driven fail) and how HBO proved the algorithm wrong.
  • Art vs. Life: Douglas on blurring the lines, using his son's real-life addiction for a film.
  • The 'Mortality Wall': How surviving cancer made him "fearless" and changed his entire vibe.

It all leads to the moment Malte's human intuition took a risk an AI never would. Was it an ethical breach or an act of respect?

If you’re here for messy media ethics, calling out Hollywood bias, and the future of AI vs. human intuition, this one's for you.
