    Episode 6- her (2013) Spike Jonze

    New Guest Episode! This time around I am joined by my good friend Amy to talk about her pick, Spike Jonze’s 2013 sci-fi love flick “her” We get pretty thought provoking on this one, going over the implications of AI, how accurately a 2013 movie predicted the year 2025 and how human’s would behave with AI, and how this unconventional take on the sci fi genre was conceptualized and executed. Join us for the chat! :) #spikejonze #scarlettjohansson #joaquinphoenix #her #scifi

    Episode 0: Welcome to The Film Trance

    Join Xi (@xi.asmodea) and Andy (@shmmaandy) as they journey through cinema together one favorite (or least favorite) movie at a time. Mostly an exercise in growing their knowledge, understanding, and adoration for any and all movies. Why do we love the movies we love? Why do we hate the ones we hate? How was every movie made? We will try our best to get these questions answered over the course of this podcast, so come and listen to us talk about the movies you love, the movies you hate, and hopefully you'll learn a thing or two with us!
