    "Everything Everywhere All At Once" feat. AI researcher and 'Good Robot' co-host Dr. Kerry

    "One day I got bored, so I put everything on a bagel. Everything" Enter the many dimensions of humor, family drama and Michelle Yeoh's badass kung fu skills as Cameron dives in to review EEAAO with distinguished AI researcher Dr. Kerry McInerney. If you haven’t seen Everything Everywhere All At Once, here’s a quick overview:Released in 2022, Everything Everywhere All At Once is a sci-fi multiverse comedy, family drama, action film written and directed by The Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Shienerdt). The film centers around Eveleyn Wang (Michele Yeoh) a 50-something chinese immigrant who runs a failing laundromat with her husband Waymond (played by Key Huy Kwan), who is struggling to connect with her daughter Joy (who is gay). As their IRS audit begins to lean towards disaster, Evelyn is suddenly called to adventure by a Waymond from another dimension, as the only woman who can fight the evil “Jobu TObacki” and save the entire multiverse. What proceeds is equal parts absurdist bathroom humor and a heartwarming story of family, acceptance and love. About our Guest: Kerry McInerney is a research associate at Cambridge’s Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, where she researches AI from the perspective of gender studies, critical race theory, and Asian diaspora studies.  Her scholarship has appeared in journals such as Feminist Review, Public Understanding of Science, and Philosophy and Technology.

    "District 9" (2009) feat. artist Noah Scalin and screenwriter Victor Koressel

    It’s time to talk PRAWNS! Cameron with return super-guests Noah Scalin and Victor Koressel discuss “District 9” from 2009. This movie had just as many SFX shots as a transformers movie for  ⅕ the budget, and it packs a punch like no other sci fi film! With a totally unique approach, Neill Blomkamp and his wife Terri crafted a story of alien encounters in Johannesburg South Africa, where Aliens come and no one cares. Do you remember seeing this movie in theaters? Summary:Released in 2009 for Tristar films with the backing of Peter Jackson, District 9 was directed by Neill (with 2 Ls) Blomkamp and his wife Terri Tatchell, based on Neill’s short film “Alive in JoBurg.” Neill went on to direct Elysium and Chappie btw! District 8 takes place in a universe where refugee aliens  with a bug-humanoid look, called “prawns”, land over Johanesburg in South Africa in 1982, where they are  relegated to a massive slum, picking for scraps. The story begins in the 2010s, 28 years later, and follows Wikus Van Der Mere played by first time actor Sharlto Copley - a Michael Scott type government employee working alongside the weapons company MNU - Multi-National United to forcibly evict the 1.8 million “prawns” and move them to a concentration camp 200 kilometers outside the city. But when Wikus inhales alien power fluid during a shanty raid, he begins to metamorphasize into a prawn himself, setting off a bloody chain of events that will change both prawn and human history forever.

    "Under the Skin" (2013) feat. film critic and illustrator Stephanie Monohan

    Stephanie and Cameron discuss what is UNDER "Under the Skin" from the ethics of shooting with non-actors and hidden cameras to the art of movie posters. Have you seen this movie? What did you think of ScarJo's performance? Find us on Instagram to share your thoughts: @theycamefromouterspace_ Look at Steph's work: http://stephaniemonohan.com/ Insta: @shdwbxng Her event next Thursday: https://miskatonicinstitute.com/events/never-log-off-horror-and-the-internet-nyc/ Released in 2013 and directed by Jonathan Glazer, Under the Skin is a low budget sci fi that will make your skin crawl. The story follows an alien played by Scarlett Johansson (named “Laura” in the script) as she drives a white sprinter van around Scotland, looking for young men to coax into riding with her. When she has one, she drives him to her pitch-black lair and lures them into a dark pool of liquid so she can take their skins. As she continues this process, her “boss”, a motorcyclist, named in the script as “bad man”) inspects and cleans up after her. But after a series of human acts of kindness, Laura begins to rethink her job and makes a run for it. Will she make it in the land of the humans or return to her own kind? And here is that AMAZING Making of Documentary we discussed: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8RkCg7ro0c 👽 Follow #TCFOS! 👽 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theycamefromouterspace_ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6N9giWAXa0smIjuUkOy111  Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/they-came-from-outer-space/id1517052346?uo=4

    "Severance" S1.E3. "In Perpetuity" feat. creative technologist Alex Fiel

    This is EAGAN we're talking about! Cameron sits down with Seattle based 3D designer Alex Fiel to run through the many corridors of Apple TV's SEVERANCE, particularly the 3rd episode. Released in February  2022, directed by Ben Stiller and written  by showrunner Dan Erickson (+ many others,_ the third  episode of 9-episode season 1 of severance iis titled “IN PERPETUITY”. In this episode new employee Helly R attempts to leave the Macrodata Refinement floor of  Lumon’s severed floor, while Mark tries to keep it all together by taking his team on an underground fieldtrip to the “perpetuity wing” - a kind of corporate museum. By the end of the episode, Helly is locked in an orwellian chamber reading a “compunction statement” about how sorry she is. Mark searches for his friend Petey who had {unsevered himself. Will Helly resign her “inie” to her new life? Or continue to fight? Will Mark find the truth? - Alex Fiel is a creative technologist based out of Seattle Washington, who graduated from University of Colorado Boulder with a Bachelor’s Degree in Technology, Arts & Media in 2020. . He worked on everything from VR training, to helping a company update 20 year old branding and even making a TikTok for Domino's Pizza. He was even an exhibit designer at the Fiske Planetarium! A true nerd and futurist! My favorite piece of his is called “measuring time” where he turned a measuring tape into a working clock, but he works often in 3D and VR! Currently he works at ELLUMEN inc, which sounds suspiciously like LUMON inc. https://alexfiel.com/
