You can’t escape it, A.I. is everywhere. Whether it’s visual images, formulaic essays, or videos depicting dead actors in new scenes you see the influence of A.I. all over. In this episode we discuss A.I. We talk about potential uses for the technology , how it’s being utilized currently, and where we’d like to see it go in the future. We examine the unintended perils as well as the unethical practices that can be used to develop the technology. We also get into our personal usage of these tools and what we think can help to utilize it more effectively.

Since we have four guests this week, we do not have a five-minute controversy.

This week Alli ,Kelley, Stephen, and Mike join the cast.

Show Notes:
Article about A.I. generated actress, Tilly Norwood.

Before that, though, I’ll share some of the highlights from my visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to see the SNL 50 exhibit!

This week on The Legends of the DCU Podcast! Drew Leiter and Cletus Jacobs are visited by the Kindly Ones as we dive into another review of The Sandman. Superman’s partnership with Supercorp collapses when Mercy Graves betrays him by weaponizing his symbol, unleashing Kryptonite-powered attacks, and revealing a super-powered new Lex Luthor clone in Superman #24. Superman and Superwoman battle X-El—a Superman-powered Lex Luthor clone unleashed by Mercy Graves—while the reformed Lex returns to help stop the chaos, forcing everyone to confront what the “real” Lex Luthor truly is in Superman #25. After the fallout of Project X-El and Mercy Graves’ betrayal, a Red Kryptonite infection amplifies Superman’s anger into a dangerous new threat, forcing his allies—especially Lois Lane—to protect Metropolis from the Man of Steel himself in Superman #26 & 27. Superman uncovers Darkseid’s corrupted Legion, travels to the future to find the missing Legion of Super-Heroes and Booster Gold, and then races back to the present to warn the Justice League as Darkseid’s forces prepare for a major confrontation in Superman #28 – 30. All this plus, DC News, Shout Outs, and much, much more!

Flopcast episode 735! Sixty years ago, The Monkees debuted as a TV show about a band, quickly grew into a real band, were wildly successful for just a few years, then faded away. Forty years ago, reruns on MTV inspired a new generation of Monkeemania, and so Micky, Davy, and Peter hit the road for the big 1986 Monkees reunion tour. Kevin saw them on that tour, and our guest this week did too! We’re joined by Elaine, co-host of the fine podcast Monkeeing Around, which you’ll find right here on the ESO Network. And our conversation includes: A breakdown of the whole Monkees set list (including their 80s hit “That Was Then, This Is Now”), the opening bands (a 60s nostalgia lineup of Herman’s Hermits, Gary Puckett, and the Grass Roots), attending the show on a broken foot, getting lost in the parking lot, Micky’s 80s synth drums, Davy’s 80s mullet… and through it all, the nonstop screaming girls. Join us as we take the last train back to 1986, when the silly TV band from the 60s suddenly had the hottest tour of the summer. Alas, Mike Nesmith wasn’t there, but we were. #monkees #monkeeingaround #mickydolenz #davyjones #petertork #hermanshermits #garypuckett #grassroots #esonetwork #eso #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast

They went to save the rainforest. The rainforest had other plans. Tea and Karen dive deep into Eli Roth’s 2013 cannibal horror love letter The Green Inferno — a film that takes a group of well meaning student activists, drops them in the Amazon, and lets a very hungry tribe sort out the rest. They cover the brilliant dark irony of the premise, the stunning practical effects, the complicated ethics of the cannibal horror subgenre, and the Italian classics that inspired it all — Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox. Is this extreme horror at its finest or torture porn dressed up in social commentary? Tune in and decide for yourself.

Gene L. Coon had an incredibly influential run as a writer and producer during the first two seasons of Star Trek. This week, the EARTH STATION TREK crew will take a look at his pseudonymous contributions to Star Trek’s third season, including “Spock’s Brain,” “Spectre of the Gun,” “Wink of an Eye,” and “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.” We also discuss Amazon’s decision to to bury the new Stargate series and revisit This Week in Star Trek!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 2 “Anomaly” now that Bill and Maria have watched it and have lots of opinions on how much we all hate that torture storyline. Plus, in our Mammary Alpha segment we discuss the curious case of the two Crewman Fullers.  

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Spaceballs: The Star Trek Episode!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.
