Summary

We conclude our current season on A.I. and technofear, going down the rabbit hole into the deepest reaches of cyberspace, reaching across planes of reality and into the depths of depravity. To do this, we discuss Lana and Lily Wachowski’s era-defining Sci-Fi masterpiece The Matrix , and a recent film that really blew us away, Pascal Plante’s dark psychological thriller Red Rooms (01:17:10). We end with Honourable Mentions of films (and TV shows) that further warp the boundaries between reality and the online world (02:26:50). ***Please rate and review our podcast!*** Hosted, produced, and edited by Liam Dunn and Lindsay Hallam Music composed and performed by Damo Alexander and Rosie Gilbey Artwork by Millie Hallam Visit our website: https://rss.com/podcasts/scifrights/ Email us at [email protected] Follow us on: Instagram Facebook Bluesky Letterboxd
