    Bonus Short: AI at The Oscars

    One of the things that has come up in this year's Oscar competition is the increasing use of artificial intelligence in filmmaking. Obviously, AI is a real concern to the country in general and artists and filmmakers in particular. It was a key issue in the recent strikes and, frankly, nobody really knows how AI will affect the industry going forward. The question is, should the use of AI in films like The Brutalist and A Complete Unknown be a factor when it comes to awards? That's the question John and Steve are wrestling with in this week's short.

    Bonus Short: Captain America - Brave New World

    Every once in a while Steve & John are just having a conversation off-mic that is so interesting that one of them decides to just hit the record button. In this case, it was a discussion of the definitely not fantastic, Captain America: Brave New World. While neither of them feel it's a terrible movie both of them felt that a lot of it didn't make sense and that something emotional was definitely absent. Do these two film doctors come up with the right diagnosis? You'll have to be the judge of that.
