Bryne and JR. welcome Jessica Haas to discuss several recent events that illuminate the continuing problem of rape culture. We investigate the systemic elements of institutionalized misogyny, and question how we who are privileged can contribute meaningfully to a healthy culture of consent.
Given the glut of new films about Artificial Intelligence, Bryne and JR. ask what counts as consciousness. We revisit Chappie, dive deeply into Ex Machina, and touch on Age of Ultron, Terminator: Genesys, Her, Avatar and Stephen King's The Jaunt. Packed with listern questions, we are ready to welcome our robot overlords!
