In this episode of Sweater Weather, Aaron and Naomi kick things off with a chat about their writing projects, genre expectations, and how different types of thrillers evoke distinct emotions. They discuss the balance between entertainment and edification in storytelling and what makes a book emotionally immersive. Then, they shift gears to talk about The Wild Robot, the Oscar-nominated animated film based on the bestselling middle-grade novel. We discuss how Roz, a robot stranded in the wilderness, learns to care for a gosling and forms a cooperative society with the island’s animals. Along the way, we tackle big questions: Do emotions make someone human?Does this story reflect the Hobbesian idea of the social contract? And why did Naomi expect a more "realistic" take on robot-human interaction? Anyway, it was a fun, cute movie, and we hope you enjoy our episode.
