Minority Report: Spielberg Gives Dystopia a Try

The Moon Under Water: A Pubcast with Kelly Daniels and Steve Jones

The script is flipped from last time. Kelly doesn't like to mix magic with his sci-fi; Steve just thinks it's an enjoyable movie. Without any love in his heart, Kelly turns to smut and DEI jokes. It ain't pretty.

From Slate: Whose idea was it to turn Minority Report into a mushy declaration of humanism? It ends up as less of a warning about an Orwellian police state than a protest that Pre-Cogs are people, too. It's Dick-less. Ebert's 4/4 star review: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/minority-report-2002
