"Isn't it strange to create something that hates you?"

Welcome back to another god-playing, artificially intelligent, and ambiently isolated episode of THE FILM SNARKS!!!

You know, it’s funny, no matter how rich you get, shit goes wrong. You can’t insulate yourself from it. We used to think it was death and taxes you couldn’t avoid, but it’s actually death and shit.

Such is the case for our main characters this week, as they play God and get their Frankenstein on, which is semi-poetic because we’re less than a week away from Valentine’s Day, and if you don’t have love, or can’t find love, why not create it!

But in a little sci-fi 2014 film called Ex Machina, if one creates a conscious machine, it’s not the history of man. It’s the history of gods!

So join us as we find out if Ex Machina is just your typical Sci-Fi robot fare, or if was it ahead of it’s time that saw the writing on the wall of what was to come in the near future, and as such is one of the finest of its kind!

"What will happen to me if I fail your test?"
