What happens when an AI thriller isn’t just about evil robots, but something much darker? In this episode, I take a deep dive into Companion—breaking down its chilling themes of control and manipulation, its surprisingly sharp humor, and why it’s so much more than just another “AI gone wrong” movie.
Plus, we explore some wild what ifs—like how this movie almost had a different director and how it could have been a Black Mirror-style drama instead. And, of course, I’ll give my final verdict: Is Companion a must-watch, or just another January genre flick?
Hit play, and let’s talk Companion!
