14.41 The Future is Now (and It’s Dystopian AF)
We’re peering into the present through the cracked lens of the future this week with Susan, Kelly, and Geek Guy Chris. From AI chatbots with too much personality to dystopias where “reality” is a broadcasted spectacle, it’s a soup of sci-fi predictions that hit way too close to home.
Whether it’s Mission Impossible’s rogue AI, the gentle (and totally not creepy) vibes of Her, or the calculating logic of Colossus: The Forbin Project, we’re diving into how film and TV imagined our now—and nailed it a little too well.
