Hello and welcome back to Movies that Make Us.
This week, we’re discussing Alex Garland’s latest film Civil War. This movie tells the story of a group of journalists during the final days of a modern day Civil War in America and are traveling from New York to Washington in an attempt to interview the President before the war comes to an end. This is a powerful film that we hope will be recognized by the academy at the end of the year. We highly recommend seeing this film, especially on the big screen.
What did you think of the movie? We want to hear your thoughts on the film, how it made you feel, etc. Do you agree it’s the best picture of the year so far? We want to know.

Welcome back to another episode of Movies that Make Us. We’re continuing to talk about sentient robots with this week’s episode of A.I. Artificial Intelligence. The Stephen Speilberg film is based on a short story that was originally going to be made by Stanley Kubrick.
It’s a weird hybrid film that definitely mixes these two very different directors styles and we want to know what you think. Let us know on social media or you can reach us at podcast@moviesthatmakeus.com.

Welcome back to another week at Movies that Make Us! AI is a burning topic right now and we want to talk about it for the next few episodes. The first one we discuss is Minority Report, the 2002 Steven Speilberg and Tom Cruise film about stopping murders before they happen.
 
This film still holds up really well on a technical level and the morality of the film holds even more true today. It’s one of Speilberg’s underrated films and he’s firing on all cylinders here. From the cinematography, the script, the score, the acting, it all works. It’s a futuristic noir film that is worth watching again if it’s been a while.

Tom Cruise plays Cole Trickle, a hot-shot driver who enters the high-pressure world of Nascar racing. He’s got a fast car, a hot temper, and a desire to win at any cost.

It’s time for another episode of Movies that Make Us episode and we’re diving into the cultural phenomenon of 2023 that generated memes and huge box office results…Barbenheimer.
We start the episode with our thoughts on Oppenheimer, where we all agree about the strength of the film on a technical level, but Valerie enjoyed it more than Jake and Tracy. Barbie comes next with all of us thinking the film is great and Valerie and Jake discuss how their daughters reacted to the film.
Next week, we’re going back to the vault and discussing the Tom Cruise film “Days of Thunder” so make sure you tune in for our thoughts!
