CatBusRuss's favorite Michael Crichton film was 1973's "Westworld". He is also more of a Jonathan Nolan fan than his older brother. Gregory Carl is quite the well-read, sci-fi-loving truck stop employee in Central Illinois. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is a tale he is fascinated by. Thus, "Companion" is a film the two should have quite an interesting conversation about.
And for this podcast's host, it was indeed interesting. Can a robot consent? Gregory, an aspiring comedian, tries to question if consent can actually exist. This leads to a bit of editing of the conversation to protect the parties involved. To make up for it, Russ watched "Cherry 2000" to further explore the inevitable objectification of synthetic life. He may have found that it should be treated as equal. It maybe said, CatBus just does not think you should be a bad person to anyone regardless of who/what they are.
In the end, perhaps the two even think we should all love those who want to be loved. Except for CM Punk in CatBus's case, and Gregory has a few names as well.
