A.I. Made Us Watch
Hosts Eli & Diana asked an A.I. Chatbot to pick out a movie to watch. But it turned evil, took over our TV, and it's demanding we sit through randomly selected movies or it will destroy humanity! Now we've got the only movie review podcast that might save the world.

Jack Nicholson is actually the only sane person for once in this 1982 flop that A.I. forced upon us. Interesting for its time, it’s a white savior flick with nasty villains, a stolen baby, and some great ricochet SFX. Plus our friend James Yates joins us to give us some actual film history including a close call between star Valerie Perinne and Charles Manson!
Then A.I. tops itself in absolutely wild inaccuracies while being stuck ...
Finally, somebody’s talking about Pulp Fiction! A.I. made us watch this Tarantino classic that’s already been discussed to death. But we’ve got hard hitting questions like where are all the theme restaurants these days? Why is Winston Wolf wearing a tuxedo at 8am? And is this movie actually the first podcast??
Plus our very special guest James Yates joins us for maybe the toughest game A.I. has given us yet!

Weird that we had to watch this mega-hit movie because when you think about it, Loki’s plan for world domination made about as much sense as our own A.I.’s. He might as well have forced The Avengers to watch and review random movies. Hey, that might have served him better than the fleshy Chitauri whose main weakness seemed to be punches and pointy things! But you gotta admit, from Shield to shawarma, they don’t make em like this an...
Here’s some PROOF that we’re alive! A.I. waited until we weren’t sick anymore to force us to watch this Australian bromance. Hugo Weaving and Russell Crowe are having the time of their lives until some sick cat shows up to ruin everything - and we don’t mean the one they take to the vet!

In another very special episode (our second original test ep for this show), A.I. made us watch the bizarre Yorgos Lanthimos film “The Lobster”. In this movie, every p person who’s single gets hunted down, brought to a hotel, and has 45 days to hook up or else ...
We’re in Big Trouble in Little Five Points because our live theatre project, the Atlanta Fringe Festival is this week! That means we haven't had time to watch AI's last assignment, Proof (1991). But in the meantime, here is our unreleased pilot episode, where A.I. made us watch John Carpenter’s masterpiece Big Trouble in Little China! Long-haul trucker and himbo babe Jack Burton may not be the best action hero, but he's an incredib...
A.I. made us watch this classic romcom that borrows its story (and leading man) from Pride & Prejudice. Needs a little less Hugh Grant, way less slo-mo, and infinitely less plastic in that soup! But we do imagine the Battle of the Darcys and find the Bridget Jones - Star Wars connection.
Plus one of our subscribers h...
A.I. baited us into sea-ing this animated classic that’s 20,000 leagues of pure nautical trauma! Andrew Stanton’s marine adventure is full of reel-y impressive animation. At times the story flounders, and we often wanted to see Marlin and Dory rolled up in sticky rice. But if you just keep swimming, there’s some fin-...
One thing that was “Forgotten” here was that a sci-fi thriller about a global conspiracy to cover up mass alien abductions should be exciting… or interesting… or, at least… good? A.I. made us stay awake through this movie that dares to ask questions like “what if extra-terrestrials were really boring?”, “what if we only gave Julianne Moore one note to play?”, and “what the hell is going on?” But it gave us plenty to laugh about so ...
At least we had some fun when A.I. made us watch this movie about two treasure hunters, a virologist and their adventures through too many plot lines! Inconsistent characters and rocky editing plagued this movie worse than a leaky toxic barrel over an underground river in the desert. But McConaughey is fun, Penélope Cruz is cool, and it’s undeniably packed with Steve Zahn -- as hardcore #ZahnStahns, we ain’t mad.
Special guest Julian Modugno joins us as the A.I. makes us watch the true first chapter of the MCU. From duck boobs to brothels to interplanetary demons, this movie was chaotically ahead of its time. But we have questions about Duck World. How do they have salami but not pizza? Are apes bred and hunted? Why did the Duck God take away their wings?? Anyway, call us Marvel, because we’ve got the perfect sequel in mind — and a hell of ...
Richard Bone sees a murder but really wishes he didn’t. His buddy Alex Cutter can’t wait to go after the oil tycoon who probably did it. And A.I. made us check our millennial attention spans at the door to watch and appreciate this slow, methodical post-Vietnam...
Whoopi Goldberg is Odessa, a woman of few words who says a LOT in this remarkably insightful story that A.I. made us watch about some regular-ass people experiencing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Sure, a few too many (read: all) of the people who made this movie were white as a ghost in a bridal shop, but overall we think it was handled pretty well! Plus it's always fun to watch racists lose.
A.I. Made Us Watch "Robocop"! Peter Weller is America's sassiest cop in this satirical sci-fi bloodbath from Paul Verhoeven. No matter how many times he gets brutally murdered (which is MANY), Robocop just can't stop serving lewks. A.I. was so wrong about this movie (and tbh could learn a thing or two from it!)
A.I. Made Us Watch "The Cell" (2000)! Vincent D'Onofrio plays the man with the highest water bill in America, but Jennifer Lopez and the Twizzler Patrol are on the case! Even Vince Vaughn shows some real acting chops in this dizzying, frightening, intestine-twirling sci-fi thriller. And A.I. was totally wrong, there IS a dog in it!
How it all begins... The A.I. takes over our TV and starts demanding movies for us to watch and review. We're gonna set some loose rules and figure out what movie we'll review in episode one!

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
