"Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die"

This is a "Black Mirror blueprint" episode introducing a ton of elements seen throughout future episodes, including the in-universe "grain" technology. But like every Black Mirror episode, the technology serves to merely highlight and amplify existing human tendencies. In this case: how would an objective audio-visual record of everyone's point-of-view impact the legal, social/societal, and personal domains?

We review Aaron Sorkin's latest film "The Social Reckoning", the semi-sequel to "The Social Network". The message of the movie is clear, but is it too little too late?

Our thoughts on the current state of dialogue around AI/super-intelligence. Two years ago we covered the book "The Coming Wave" - is the wave about to crest, still a ways off, or a mirage altogether?

Our rewatch of Black Mirror continues with "Fifteen Million Merits," an episode that starkly reflects our current digital landscape.

We're returning to Black Mirror with an episode-by-episode (re)watch, starting with the controversial series premiere "National Anthem".

A cautionary dark comedy/action tale on our current AI inflection point, drawing inspiration from Black Mirror, The Matrix, and the Terminator franchise. This one probably flew under your radar, but we give it a full take.

We're back in Westeros for the Dance of the Dragons! The season starts with a 2-episode pay-off (and fall-out) of Season 2's lead-up. Some storylines were hit or miss for us, but overall this is a return to form for the show heading into the fourth and final season.

A belated analysis of Christopher Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey".

Our thoughts on Toy Story 5 and the franchise overall.

We dive into the subtext and themes of middle-age malaise, personal non-integration, male friendship, and the modern state of masculinity in this unconventional whodunit miniseries.
