What will the power of music be like in the future? Well, if you’re unlucky enough to live in the world of the 2002 Gun-fu film “Equilibrium,” music, art and emotion will be pretty much forbidden. Starring Christian Bale, Sean Bean and Taye Diggs, this weird film, which is obviously riding on the coattails of the success of “The Matrix”, introduces us to a dystopian world where creativity and emotion are stifled by mass medication and brute force.
We also discuss different kinds of dystopias and what the hell Gun-Fu really is. So grab your scheduled dose of Prozium, repress all feelings and join us as we stifle what it means to be human… for the greater good, of course.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
