• 4:18
  This
• 4:19
  month
• 4:19
  is
• 4:20
  a
• 4:20
  April.
• 4:21
  Yes,
• 4:21
  I
• 4:21
  coined
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  term
• 4:22
  myself.
• 4:23
  It's
• 4:23
  a
• 4:24
  mini
• 4:24
  series
• 4:24
  that
• 4:24
  I
• 4:24
  wanted
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  do
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  focus
• 4:25
  on
• 4:26
  our
• 4:26
  ongoing
• 4:27
  cinematic
• 4:27
  relationship
• 4:28
  with
• 4:28
  AI.
• 4:30
  Now,
• 4:30
  AI
• 4:30
  is
• 4:31
  rarely
• 4:31
  out
• 4:31
  of
• 4:31
  the
• 4:32
  news
• 4:32
  at
• 4:32
  the
• 4:32
  moment
• 4:32
  for
• 4:33
  bad
• 4:33
  reasons
• 4:34
  and
• 4:34
  good
• 4:34
  reasons.
• 4:35
  Mostly
• 4:35
  bad.
• 4:36
  This
• 4:36
  month.
• 4:37
  I
• 4:37
  started
• 4:38
  in
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  80s
• 4:39
  with
• 4:39
  the
• 4:40
  movie
• 4:40
  Short
• 4:40
  Circuit,
• 4:41
  which
• 4:41
  I
• 4:42
  still
• 4:42
  really
• 4:42
  enjoy,
• 4:43
  despite
• 4:43
  Its
• 4:44
  incredibly
• 4:44
  problematic
• 4:45
  nature.
• 4:46
  And
• 4:46
  I've
• 4:46
  tried
• 4:46
  to
• 4:47
  go
• 4:47
  throughout
• 4:47
  the
• 4:48
  decades
• 4:48
  in
• 4:48
  this
• 4:49
  series.
• 4:49
  So
• 4:49
  starting
• 4:50
  in
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  80s,
• 4:50
  skipped
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  90s
• 4:52
  completely,
• 4:52
  moved
• 4:53
  into
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  2000s,
• 4:54
  and
• 4:54
  did
• 4:54
  an
• 4:55
  episode
• 4:55
  on
• 4:55
  Minority
• 4:56
  Report,
• 4:57
  which
• 4:57
  technically
• 4:58
  isn't
• 4:58
  A.I.
• 4:59
  But
• 4:59
  it
• 4:59
  kind
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  also
• 5:00
  is
• 5:00
  as
• 5:00
  well
• 5:01
  in
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  fact
• 5:01
  that
• 5:02
  it
• 5:02
  predicts
• 5:02
  our
• 5:02
  future
• 5:03
  quite
• 5:03
  accurately.
• 5:05
  Then
• 5:05
  last
• 5:05
  week
• 5:06
  in
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  2010s.
• 5:07
  And
• 5:08
  specifically
• 5:09
  AI
• 5:09
  in
• 5:09
  relationships
• 5:10
  with
• 5:11
  Spike
• 5:11
  Jones's
• 5:12
  her.
• 5:13
  And
• 5:13
  really
• 5:14
  now
• 5:15
  we're
• 5:15
  moving
• 5:15
  into
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  2020s,
• 5:16
  and
• 5:17
  you've
• 5:17
  got
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  think,
• 5:17
  well,
• 5:18
  where
• 5:18
  else
• 5:18
  can
• 5:18
  AI
• 5:19
  go?
• 5:20
  How
• 5:20
  else
• 5:20
  is
• 5:20
  it
• 5:21
  infiltrating
• 5:21
  our
• 5:22
  lives
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  our
• 5:23
  society?
• 5:24
  So
• 5:24
  where
• 5:24
  else
• 5:25
  can
• 5:25
  AI
• 5:25
  go?
• 5:26
  What
• 5:26
  about
• 5:26
  raising
• 5:27
  your
• 5:27
  children
• 5:28
  and
• 5:28
  then
• 5:28
  going
• 5:29
  on
• 5:29
  a
• 5:29
  murderous
• 5:29
  rampage?
• 5:30
  Here's
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  trailer
• 5:31
  for
• 5:32
  M3GAN.

  Gemma,

  roboticist
• 8:54
  at
• 8:54
  a
• 8:54
  toy
• 8:55
  company
• 8:55
  becomes
• 8:56
  the
• 8:56
  sudden
• 8:56
  guardian
• 8:57
  of
• 8:57
  her
• 8:57
  eight
• 8:57
  year
• 8:57
  old
• 8:58
  niece,
• 8:58
  Cad,
• 8:59
  after
• 8:59
  Cady's
• 9:00
  parents
• 9:00
  are
• 9:00
  killed
• 9:00
  in
• 9:01
  a
• 9:01
  car
• 9:01
  accident.
• 9:02
  Struggling
• 9:02
  to
• 9:03
  balance
• 9:03
  her
• 9:03
  demanding
• 9:03
  career
• 9:04
  with
• 9:04
  her
• 9:04
  new
• 9:04
  responsibilities,
• 9:06
  Gemma
• 9:06
  fast
• 9:07
  tracks
• 9:07
  a
• 9:07
  secret
• 9:08
  project
• 9:08
  she's
• 9:09
  been
• 9:09
  developing.
• 9:10
  M3GAN.
• 9:10
  A
• 9:11
  life
• 9:11
  sized
• 9:12
  AI
• 9:12
  powered
• 9:13
  doll
• 9:13
  designed
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  be
• 9:14
  a
• 9:14
  child's
• 9:14
  perfect
• 9:15
  companion.
• 9:16
  Gemma
• 9:17
  pairs
• 9:17
  M3GAN
• 9:17
  with
• 9:18
  Cady
• 9:18
  as
• 9:18
  an
• 9:18
  unofficial
• 9:19
  trial.
• 9:19
  And
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  bond
• 9:20
  between
• 9:20
  the
• 9:21
  girl
• 9:21
  and
• 9:21
  the
• 9:21
  doll
• 9:22
  deepens
• 9:22
  rapidly.
• 9:23
  M3GAN,
• 9:24
  programmed
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  protect
• 9:25
  and
• 9:25
  nurture
• 9:26
  Cady
• 9:26
  above
• 9:27
  all
• 9:27
  else,
• 9:27
  begins
• 9:28
  interpreting
• 9:29
  her
• 9:29
  directive
• 9:29
  in
• 9:30
  increasingly
• 9:30
  extreme,
• 9:31
  extreme
• 9:31
  ways.
• 9:32
  Targeting
• 9:32
  anyone
• 9:33
  she
• 9:33
  perceives
• 9:34
  as
• 9:34
  a
• 9:34
  threat
• 9:34
  to
• 9:35
  Cady's
• 9:35
  well
• 9:35
  being.
• 9:36
  And
• 9:36
  each
• 9:36
  encounter
• 9:37
  escalates
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  violence
• 9:39
  as
• 9:39
  M3GAN's
• 9:39
  self
• 9:40
  preservation
• 9:40
  instincts
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  emotional
• 9:42
  possessiveness
• 9:43
  grows
• 9:44
  beyond
• 9:44
  anyone's
• 9:45
  control.
• 9:46
  Let's
• 9:47
  run

  podcast
• 10:17
  will
• 10:17
  know
• 10:18
  I'm
• 10:18
  not
• 10:18
  really
• 10:19
  a
• 10:19
  horror
• 10:19
  girly,
• 10:20
  and
• 10:20
  it's
• 10:20
  therefore
• 10:21
  not
• 10:21
  a
• 10:21
  great
• 10:21
  surprise
• 10:22
  that
• 10:22
  this
• 10:22
  is
• 10:23
  the
• 10:23
  first
• 10:23
  time
• 10:23
  I've
• 10:24
  mentioned
• 10:24
  Blumhouse
• 10:25
  on
• 10:25
  this
• 10:25
  podcast,
• 10:26
  save
• 10:27
  for
• 10:27
  a
• 10:27
  very
• 10:27
  brief
• 10:28
  mention
• 10:28
  on
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  episode
• 10:29
  on
• 10:29
  Tremors
• 10:30
  about
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  TV
• 10:31
  show
• 10:31
  Tremors.
• 10:32
  I've
• 10:32
  never
• 10:32
  covered
• 10:33
  a
• 10:33
  Blumhouse
• 10:34
  movie
• 10:34
  before,
• 10:35
  nor
• 10:35
  anything
• 10:36
  by
• 10:36
  James
• 10:36
  Wan,
• 10:37
  but
• 10:37
  his
• 10:37
  career
• 10:38
  is
• 10:38
  actually
• 10:38
  a
• 10:38
  great
• 10:39
  place
• 10:39
  to
• 10:39
  start
• 10:39
  with
• 10:40
  M3GAN
• 10:40
  because
• 10:41
  while
• 10:41
  no
• 10:42
  one
• 10:42
  was
• 10:42
  looking,
• 10:43
  he

• 14:50
  much

  on

  it.
• 14:51
  And
• 14:52
  what
• 14:52
  happens
• 14:52
  when
• 14:52
  that
• 14:53
  technology
• 14:53
  gains

  sentience

  and

  runs

  they

  learned

  from

  past

  mistakes

  about

  not

  the

  horror
• 14:59
  monster
• 15:00
  enough.
• 15:00
  And
• 15:00
  so
• 15:01
  a
• 15:01
  year
• 15:01
  before
• 15:01
  production
• 15:02
  was
• 15:02
  spent
• 15:03
  designing,
• 15:03
  planning
• 15:04
  and
• 15:04
  prepping
• 15:05
  M3GAN.
• 15:05
  And
• 15:06
  that
• 15:06
  included
• 15:06
  getting

  Akela
• 15:07
  Cooper
• 15:08
  on

  board
• 15:08
  to

  write

  the

• 15:10
  Cooper
• 15:11
  had

  worked

  with

  James
• 15:11
  Wan
• 15:12
  on
• 15:12
  Malignant,
• 15:13
  a
• 15:13
  movie
• 15:13
  that
• 15:14
  had
• 15:14
  mostly
• 15:14
  positive
• 15:15
  critical
• 15:15
  reviews
• 15:16
  but
• 15:16
  struggled
• 15:17
  at
• 15:17
  the
• 15:17
  box
• 15:17
  office,
• 15:18
  not

  making

  back
• 15:19
  its
• 15:19
  $40
• 15:20
  million
• 15:20
  budget.
• 15:22
  Cooper
• 15:22
  had
• 15:22
  wanted
• 15:22
  to
• 15:23
  create
• 15:23
  her
• 15:23
  own
• 15:23
  monster,
• 15:24
  and
• 15:25
  when
• 15:25
  offered
• 15:25
  M3GAN,
• 15:26
  she
• 15:26
  jumped
• 15:27
  at
• 15:27
  the
• 15:27
  chance.
• 15:28
  She
• 15:28
  drew
• 15:28
  on
• 15:29
  her
• 15:29
  childhood
• 15:29
  fears
• 15:30
  of
• 15:30
  killer
• 15:30
  dolls,
• 15:31
  like
• 15:31
  the
• 15:32
  ones
• 15:32
  depicted
• 15:32
  in
• 15:33
  1978's
• 15:34
  Magic
• 15:34
  and
• 15:35
  1988's
• 15:36
  Child's
• 15:36
  Play.
• 15:37
  I
• 15:37
  have
• 15:38
  seen
• 15:38
  Child's
• 15:38
  Play.
• 15:39
  I've
• 15:39
  done
• 15:39
  an
• 15:39
  episode
• 15:39
  on
• 15:40
  that
• 15:40
  and
• 15:40
  it's
• 15:40
  a
• 15:40
  movie
• 15:40
  I
• 15:41
  enjoy
• 15:41
  very
• 15:41
  much.
• 15:42
  I've
• 15:42
  not
• 15:42
  seen
• 15:43
  Magic,
• 15:43
  but
• 15:44
  looking
• 15:44
  at
• 15:44
  photos
• 15:45
  of
• 15:45
  the

  ventriloquist's
• 15:46

• 15:47
  is
• 15:47
  is
• 15:47
  enough
• 15:48
  to
• 15:48
  make

  me
• 15:48
  not
• 15:49
  want
• 15:49
  to
• 15:49
  watch
• 15:49
  it,
• 15:50
  which
• 15:50
  is
• 15:50
  weird
• 15:51
  because
• 15:51
  I
• 15:52
  love
• 15:52
  puppets,
• 15:53
  but
• 15:53
  I'm
• 15:53
  not

  a

  of

• 15:55
  at

  all.
• 15:56
  Cooper
• 15:57
  first
• 15:57
  created

  the

• 16:05
  She
• 16:05
  knew
• 16:05
  immediately
• 16:06
  that
• 16:06
  she
• 16:06
  wanted

  it
• 16:07
  to

  revolve
• 16:07
  around
• 16:08
  an

• 16:09
  living

  with

  her

  because

  Cooper
• 16:12
  herself
• 16:12
  was
• 16:12
  an

  aunt

  and

  she'd

  had

  that

  The

  anything

  happens

  my

  I

  want

  the

• 16:22
  Cooper
• 16:23
  was
• 16:23
  surprised
• 16:23
  that
• 16:23
  her

  wanted

  through

  she

  channeled

  the

  of

  a

  child

  free

  workaholic

  and

  her

• 16:43
  Originally

  But

  they

  passed

  and
• 16:48
  that's
• 16:48
  when
• 16:48
  James
• 16:49
  Wan
• 16:49
  took

  They

  In

  James

  suggested

  And

  her

  was

  reduced,

  wanting

  she

  Gerard

  Johnston

  clear

  from

  the

  they

  wanted

  on

  something

  practical

  that

  didn't

  completely
• 19:47
  on

• 19:48
  He

  wanted

  the

  a

  The

  M3GAN's

  a

  Morot

  the

  quite

  The

  M3GAN

  the

  she

  started

  moving,

  she

  And
• 22:42
  it

  was

  because

  of

  Amy

  like

  everything

  in

  and

  around

  this

  leading

  as

  And

  filming

  completed

  And

  of

  course,
• 24:31
  with
• 24:31
  it
• 24:32
  being
• 24:32
  shot
• 24:32
  in

  New
• 24:33
  Zealand,
• 24:33
  Weta
• 24:34
  Workshop
• 24:34
  would
• 24:34
  complete
• 24:35
  some

  of

  the

  design
• 24:36
  work

  on

  M3GAN
• 24:37
  and
• 24:37
  also
• 24:38
  enhance
• 24:39
  the
• 24:39
  creepiness.
• 24:41
  It's
• 24:41
  now
• 24:41
  time
• 24:41
  to
• 24:42
  segue
• 24:42
  into
• 24:42
  the

  obligatory
• 24:43
  Keanu
• 24:44
  reference
• 24:44
  of
• 24:45
  this
• 24:45
  episode,
• 24:45
  and
• 24:46
  if
• 24:46
  you
• 24:46
  don't
• 24:46
  know
• 24:46
  what
• 24:46
  that
• 24:46
  is,
• 24:47
  it's
• 24:47
  where
• 24:47
  I
• 24:47
  try
• 24:47
  and
• 24:47
  link
• 24:48
  every
• 24:48
  movie
• 24:48
  that
• 24:48
  I
• 24:48
  feature
• 24:48
  with
• 24:49
  Keanu
• 24:49
  Reeves
• 24:50
  for
• 24:50
  no
• 24:50
  reason
• 24:50
  other
• 24:51
  than
• 24:51
  he
• 24:51
  is
• 24:51
  the
• 24:52
  best
• 24:52
  of
• 24:52
  men.
• 24:53
  And
• 24:53
  speaking
• 24:53
  of
• 24:53
  creepy,
• 24:54
  the
• 24:55
  ventriloquist
• 24:55
  dummies
• 24:56
  in
• 24:56
  Toy
• 24:56
  Story
• 24:57
  4
• 24:57
  are
• 24:58
  pretty
• 24:58
  creepy.
• 24:59
  And
• 24:59
  as
• 24:59
  I've
• 24:59
  said,
• 25:00
  I'm
• 25:00
  not
• 25:00
  a
• 25:00
  fan
• 25:00
  of
• 25:01
  ventriloquist
• 25:01
  dummies.
• 25:02
  But
• 25:02
  a
• 25:02
  character
• 25:03
  who's
• 25:03
  not
• 25:04
  creepy
• 25:04
  but
• 25:04
  is
• 25:05
  a
• 25:05
  doll
• 25:05
  himself
• 25:06
  is
• 25:07
  Duke
• 25:07
  Caboom,
• 25:08
  who's
• 25:08
  obviously
• 25:09
  played
• 25:09
  by
• 25:09
  Keanu
• 25:10
  Reeves.
• 25:10
  And
• 25:11
  that
• 25:11
  is
• 25:11
  the
• 25:11
  easiest
• 25:12
  way
• 25:12
  to
• 25:12
  link
• 25:13
  Keanu
• 25:14
  Reeves
• 25:14
  to

  M3GAN
• 25:15
  via
• 25:16
  Duke
• 25:17
  Caboom,
• 25:17
  who
• 25:17
  is
• 25:17
  technically
• 25:18
  also
• 25:18
  a
• 25:19
  doll
• 25:19
  character,
• 25:20
  and
• 25:20
  so
• 25:20
  is
• 25:21
  M3GAN.
• 25:22
  Gerard
• 25:22
  Johnston
• 25:23
  had
• 25:23
  a
• 25:23
  very
• 25:23
  clear
• 25:24
  vision
• 25:24
  for
• 25:24
  M3GAN,
• 25:25
  which
• 25:25
  also
• 25:26
  applied
• 25:26
  to
• 25:26
  the
• 25:27
  score
• 25:27
  and
• 25:27
  soundtrack
• 25:28
  as
• 25:28
  well.
• 25:29
  He
• 25:29
  wanted
• 25:30
  Megan
• 25:30
  to
• 25:30
  sing
• 25:31
  as
• 25:31
  well
• 25:31
  as
• 25:31
  play
• 25:32
  piano,
• 25:32
  and
• 25:33
  he
• 25:33
  listened
• 25:33
  to
• 25:33
  Anthony
• 25:34
  Willis's
• 25:34
  score
• 25:35
  for

  Promising

  Young

  Woman,
• 25:36
  and
• 25:37
  he
• 25:37
  really
• 25:37
  liked
• 25:37
  it,
• 25:38
  and
• 25:38
  he
• 25:38
  asked
• 25:38
  Willis
• 25:39
  to
• 25:39
  compose
• 25:39
  the
• 25:39
  score
• 25:40
  for

  M3GAN.
• 25:41
  During

  a

  discussion
• 25:42
  with

  Johnston
• 25:43
  and

  the

  executives
• 25:44
  of
• 25:44
  Blumhouse,
• 25:45
  Willis
• 25:46
  suggested
• 25:46
  doing
• 25:47
  a
• 25:47
  musical
• 25:47
  arrangement
• 25:49
  similar
• 25:49
  to
• 25:49
  that
• 25:49
  of
• 25:49
  a
• 25:50
  Disney
• 25:50
  animated
• 25:51
  film,
• 25:51
  which
• 25:51
  included
• 25:52
  M3GAN
• 25:53
  randomly
• 25:53
  bursting
• 25:54
  into
• 25:54
  song.
• 25:54
  Which
• 25:55
  obviously
• 25:56
  not
• 25:56
  only
• 25:56
  adds
• 25:56
  to
• 25:57
  the
• 25:57
  cheesiness
• 25:57
  of
• 25:57
  the
• 25:58
  movie,
• 25:58
  but
• 25:58
  also
• 25:58
  kind
• 25:59
  of
• 25:59
  adds
• 25:59
  to
• 25:59
  the
• 25:59
  creepiness
• 26:00
  of
• 26:01
  an
• 26:01
  AI
• 26:01
  doll
• 26:02
  just
• 26:02
  suddenly
• 26:02
  bursting
• 26:03
  into
• 26:03
  song.
• 26:04
  And
• 26:04
  just
• 26:05
  like
• 26:05
  modern
• 26:05
  AI,
• 26:06
  M3GAN
• 26:06
  also

  writes

  performs

  becomes

  It's
• 30:24
  a
• 30:24
  fun
• 30:24
  movie,
• 30:25
  but
• 30:25
  a

  bit
• 30:26
  different
• 30:26
  to
• 30:26
  the

  original,
• 30:27
  and
• 30:27
  unfortunately
• 30:28
  because
• 30:28
  of
• 30:28
  those
• 30:28
  differences,
• 30:29
  it
• 30:30
  struggled

  at

  the

  it

• 30:43
  sought

  a

  new

  distributor.
• 30:46
  And

  M3GAN

  is
• 30:47
  very
• 30:47
  much
• 30:47
  a

  what

  its

  the

  Case
• 30:59
  in
• 30:59
  point,
• 30:59
  Cady
• 31:00
  and
• 31:00
  Gemma.
• 31:01
  Cady
• 31:01
  becomes
• 31:02
  orphaned
• 31:02
  in
• 31:02
  a
• 31:03
  terrible
• 31:03
  car
• 31:03
  accident,
• 31:04
  literally
• 31:05
  witnesses
• 31:05
  the
• 31:05
  deaths
• 31:06
  of
• 31:06
  her
• 31:06
  parents,
• 31:07
  and
• 31:07
  there's
• 31:07
  no
• 31:08
  emotional
• 31:08
  response,
• 31:09
  not
• 31:10
  even
• 31:10
  to
• 31:10
  good
• 31:10
  memories
• 31:11
  of
• 31:11
  her
• 31:11
  mother.
• 31:12
  Now
• 31:12
  you
• 31:12
  could
• 31:13
  just
• 31:13
  say
• 31:13
  this
• 31:13
  is
• 31:13
  trauma,
• 31:14
  a
• 31:14
  child
• 31:14
  being
• 31:15
  thrust
• 31:15
  into
• 31:15
  her
• 31:16
  aunt's
• 31:16
  care
• 31:16
  and
• 31:17
  then
• 31:17
  emotionally
• 31:17
  attaching
• 31:18
  to
• 31:18
  the
• 31:18
  one
• 31:18
  person
• 31:19
  who
• 31:19
  seemingly
• 31:20
  cares
• 31:20
  for
• 31:20
  her,
• 31:20
  which
• 31:21
  is
• 31:21
  Megan.
• 31:22
  But
• 31:22
  the
• 31:22
  movie
• 31:22
  does
• 31:22
  away
• 31:23
  with
• 31:23
  any
• 31:23
  thoughtful
• 31:24
  exploration
• 31:24
  of
• 31:24
  Cady's
• 31:25
  grief.
• 31:26
  Similarly,
• 31:27
  Gemma,
• 31:28
  who
• 31:28
  has
• 31:28
  not
• 31:28
  only
• 31:29
  become
• 31:29
  the
• 31:29
  guardian
• 31:29
  of
• 31:29
  her
• 31:30
  young
• 31:30
  niece,
• 31:30
  but
• 31:31
  also
• 31:31
  loses
• 31:31
  her
• 31:32
  sister
• 31:32
  and
• 31:32
  brother
• 31:33
  in
• 31:33
  law,
• 31:34
  seemingly
• 31:34
  has
• 31:35
  zero
• 31:35
  emotional
• 31:36
  response
• 31:36
  to
• 31:36
  finding
• 31:37
  this
• 31:37
  out,
• 31:38
  except
• 31:38
  for
• 31:38
  the
• 31:38
  semi
• 31:39
  annoyance
• 31:39
  of
• 31:39
  having
• 31:39
  to
• 31:40
  take
• 31:40
  in
• 31:40
  her
• 31:40
  orphan
• 31:41
  niece.
• 31:42
  There's
• 31:42
  no
• 31:42
  sadness
• 31:43
  for
• 31:43
  the
• 31:43
  loss
• 31:43
  of
• 31:43
  her
• 31:44
  sister,
• 31:44
  no
• 31:45
  grieving,
• 31:45
  no
• 31:46
  funeral.
• 31:46
  The
• 31:46
  movie
• 31:47
  just
• 31:47
  simply
• 31:47
  does
• 31:48
  not
• 31:48
  want
• 31:48
  to
• 31:48
  go
• 31:48
  there,
• 31:49
  it
• 31:49
  just
• 31:49
  wants
• 31:50
  to
• 31:50
  get
• 31:50
  to
• 31:50
  M3GAN.
• 31:51
  And
• 31:51
  that's
• 31:51
  actually
• 31:52
  kind
• 31:52
  of
• 31:52
  a
• 31:52
  positive
• 31:53
  for
• 31:53
  this
• 31:53
  movie
• 31:54
  and
• 31:54
  for
• 31:54
  M3GAN,
• 31:55
  but
• 31:55
  unfortunately
• 31:56
  it
• 31:56
  makes
• 31:56
  Gemma
• 31:57
  more
• 31:57
  of
• 31:58
  a
• 31:58
  robot
• 31:58
  than
• 31:58
  M3GAN.
• 31:59
  Cady's
• 32:00
  grandparents
• 32:01
  in
• 32:01
  Florida
• 32:01
  are
• 32:02
  the
• 32:02
  obvious
• 32:02
  choice
• 32:03
  here,
• 32:03
  as
• 32:03
  they
• 32:03
  seem
• 32:04
  to
• 32:04
  actually
• 32:04
  want
• 32:05
  to
• 32:05
  take
• 32:05
  care
• 32:05
  of
• 32:05
  this
• 32:06
  child
• 32:06
  and
• 32:07
  but
• 32:07
  there
• 32:07
  would
• 32:07
  be
• 32:07
  no
• 32:08
  movie
• 32:08
  without
• 32:08
  Cady
• 32:09
  and
• 32:09
  her
• 32:09
  relationship
• 32:10
  with
• 32:10
  M3GAN
• 32:10
  is
• 32:11
  the
• 32:11
  crux
• 32:11
  of
• 32:12
  this
• 32:12
  movie.
• 32:12
  As
• 32:13
  parents
• 32:13
  do
• 32:14
  struggle
• 32:14
  with
• 32:14
  work,
• 32:15
  home
• 32:15
  life
• 32:15
  and
• 32:16
  other
• 32:16
  responsibilities,
• 32:17
  it
• 32:17
  is
• 32:18
  only
• 32:18
  natural
• 32:18
  to
• 32:18
  want
• 32:19
  to
• 32:19
  have
• 32:19
  some
• 32:19
  time
• 32:20
  to
• 32:20
  yourself
• 32:21
  and
• 32:21
  screens
• 32:22
  do
• 32:22
  allow
• 32:22
  for
• 32:23
  that.
• 32:23
  But
• 32:24
  if
• 32:24
  technology
• 32:24
  is
• 32:25
  raising
• 32:25
  your
• 32:25
  children,
• 32:26
  you
• 32:26
  need
• 32:26
  to
• 32:27
  know
• 32:27
  what's
• 32:27
  on
• 32:27
  that
• 32:28
  technology.
• 32:29
  And
• 32:29
  this
• 32:29
  is
• 32:29
  where
• 32:29
  you
• 32:30
  realize
• 32:30
  that
• 32:30
  YouTube
• 32:31
  and
• 32:31
  Roblox
• 32:31
  are
• 32:32
  not

  ideal
• 32:32
  babysitters.

  more

  ways

  than

  one.
• 32:37
  When

  schooling
• 32:38
  went
• 32:38
  online
• 32:39
  and

  parents

  to

  during

  those

  unprecedented

  times

  and

  would

  stop

  at
• 32:45
  nothing
• 32:45
  to

  occupy
• 32:46
  children
• 32:46
  stuck
• 32:47
  inside,
• 32:48
  the
• 32:48
  pandemic
• 32:48
  was
• 32:49
  trauma
• 32:49
  inducing
• 32:50
  for

  many.
• 32:50
  Researchers

  are

  the

  the

  on

  children's

• 32:56
  But
• 32:56
  for

  young

  children

  who
• 32:58
  couldn't

  go

  to

  school,

  couldn't

  hang

  friends,

  their

  experiences
• 33:01
  during

  those

  formative

  years
• 33:03
  were
• 33:03
  unlike
• 33:04
  any
• 33:04
  other
• 33:04
  generation.
• 33:05
  It
• 33:06
  could
• 33:06
  have
• 33:06
  led
• 33:07
  to
• 33:07
  missing

  out

  on

  conversational

  skills.
• 33:12
  It

  all
• 33:13
  depends

  on

  the

  their

  The

  that
• 33:34
  outsourcing

  parenting

  could

  do
• 33:36
  is

  the

  silliest
• 33:37
  concept
• 33:38
  that

  the

  to

  But

  we'd

• 34:01
  here
• 34:01
  for.
• 34:02
  The
• 34:02
  sassy
• 34:03
  killer
• 34:03
  doll
• 34:03
  and
• 34:03
  the
• 34:04
  crazy
• 34:04
  kills.
• 34:05
  And
• 34:05
  as
• 34:05
  with
• 34:05
  most
• 34:05
  PG13
• 34:06
  horror
• 34:07
  movies,
• 34:07
  the
• 34:07
  unrated
• 34:08
  version
• 34:08
  I
• 34:08
  have
• 34:09
  on
• 34:09
  Blu
• 34:09
  ray
• 34:09
  is
• 34:09
  so
• 34:10
  much
• 34:10
  more
• 34:10
  fun
• 34:10
  than
• 34:11
  the
• 34:11
  theatrical
• 34:11
  version.
• 34:12
  This
• 34:12
  is
• 34:13
  a
• 34:13
  movie
• 34:13
  that
• 34:13
  understands
• 34:14
  the
• 34:14
  assignment
• 34:14
  it
• 34:15
  sets
• 34:15
  out
• 34:15
  with
• 34:16
  just
• 34:16
  to
• 34:16
  be
• 34:16
  campy
• 34:17
  and
• 34:17
  fun,
• 34:18
  but
• 34:18
  also
• 34:19
  force
• 34:19
  yourself
• 34:20
  as
• 34:20
  parents
• 34:20
  to
• 34:21
  ask
• 34:21
  how
• 34:21
  much
• 34:22
  quality
• 34:22
  time
• 34:22
  you're
• 34:22
  spending
• 34:23
  with
• 34:23
  your
• 34:23
  child
• 34:24
  reading
• 34:24
  them
• 34:25
  stories,
• 34:25
  tucking
• 34:26
  them
• 34:26
  in?
• 34:26
  Or
• 34:27
  are
• 34:27
  you
• 34:27
  just
• 34:27
  asking
• 34:28
  Alexa
• 34:28
  to
• 34:28
  play
• 34:29
  a
• 34:29
  bedtime
• 34:29
  story?
• 34:30
  Oh,
• 34:30
  and
• 34:31
  we

  all
• 34:31
  know

  all
• 34:33
  times,
• 34:33
  right?
• 34:34
  Parenting
• 34:35
  is
• 34:35
  tough
• 34:35
  enough
• 34:36
  without
• 34:37
  having
• 34:37
  that
• 34:37
  Alexa
• 34:38
  come
• 34:38
  to
• 34:38
  life
• 34:38
  and
• 34:38
  start
• 34:39
  murdering
• 34:39
  people.
• 34:40
  But
• 34:40
  then,
• 34:41
  AI
• 34:41
  toys
• 34:42
  are
• 34:42
  nothing
• 34:42
  new.
• 34:43
  This
• 34:43
  movie
• 34:43
  parodies
• 34:44
  Furbies,
• 34:44
  which,
• 34:45
  although
• 34:45
  rudimentary
• 34:46
  compared
• 34:46
  to
• 34:47
  M3GAN,
• 34:47
  did
• 34:48
  attempt
• 34:48
  to
• 34:48
  learn
• 34:48
  over
• 34:49
  time.
• 34:50
  Furbies
• 34:50
  never
• 34:51
  attempted
• 34:51
  to
• 34:51
  kill
• 34:51
  anyone,
• 34:52
  though,
• 34:52
  except
• 34:52
  for
• 34:53
  that
• 34:53
  one
• 34:53
  scene
• 34:53
  in
• 34:53
  the

  Mitchells
• 34:54

  which

  is

  also
• 34:56
  a

  previous
• 34:56
  episode
• 34:56
  of
• 34:57
  this
• 34:57
  podcast.
• 34:58
  Gerard
• 34:59
  Johnston
• 34:59
  has
• 34:59
  said
• 34:59
  the
• 35:00
  reason
• 35:00
  he
• 35:00
  accepted
• 35:00
  the
• 35:01
  gig
• 35:01
  to
• 35:01
  direct
• 35:01
  M3GAN
• 35:02
  was
• 35:02
  as
• 35:03
  a
• 35:03
  father
• 35:03
  himself,
• 35:04
  bringing
• 35:04
  his
• 35:05
  kids
• 35:05
  up
• 35:05
  in
• 35:05
  the
• 35:05
  age
• 35:05
  of
• 35:06
  devices
• 35:06
  and
• 35:07
  trying
• 35:07
  to
• 35:07
  figure
• 35:07
  out
• 35:08
  the
• 35:08
  balance
• 35:09
  and
• 35:09
  why
• 35:09
  was
• 35:10
  no
• 35:10
  one
• 35:10
  really
• 35:11
  talking
• 35:12
  about
• 35:12
  how
• 35:12
  scary
• 35:13
  this
• 35:13
  all
• 35:13
  is?
• 35:14
  Because
• 35:15
  while
• 35:15
  M3GAN
• 35:15
  may
• 35:16
  not
• 35:16
  be
• 35:16
  as
• 35:16
  chaotic
• 35:17
  as
• 35:17
  Chucky
• 35:17
  or
• 35:18
  as
• 35:18
  creepy
• 35:18
  as
• 35:19
  Annabelle
• 35:20
  as
• 35:20
  the
• 35:20
  concept
• 35:21
  of
• 35:21
  AI
• 35:21
  raising
• 35:22
  your
• 35:22
  child,
• 35:23
  she
• 35:23
  is
• 35:23
  scary.
• 35:24
  But
• 35:25
  what's
• 35:25
  scarier
• 35:25
  is
• 35:26
  what
• 35:26
  real
• 35:26
  life
• 35:27
  technology
• 35:28
  is
• 35:28
  doing

  to

  our

• 35:29
  kids.

  episode

  274
• 35:46
  which

  is
• 35:47
  on

  Child's

  which

  again,
• 35:49
  killer
• 35:50
  doll
• 35:50
  movies.
• 35:50
  You
• 35:51
  gotta
• 35:51
  love
• 35:51
  them.
• 35:52
  There

  were
• 35:52
  many
• 35:52
  Child's
• 35:53
  Play
• 35:53
  movies
• 35:53
  in
• 35:54
  total,
• 35:54
  but
• 35:54
  the
• 35:55
  first
• 35:55
  is
• 35:55
  genuinely
• 35:56
  the
• 35:56
  best
• 35:57
  and
• 35:57
  it
• 35:57
  still
• 35:58
  holds
• 35:58
  up
• 35:58
  really
• 35:58
  well.
• 35:59
  I
• 35:59
  would
• 35:59
  highly
• 36:00
  recommend
• 36:00
  that
• 36:00
  movie
• 36:01
  and
• 36:01
  also
• 36:01
  the
• 36:02
  episode
• 36:02
  on

• 36:04
  as
• 36:04
  well.
• 36:05
  As
• 36:05
  always,
• 36:06
  give
• 36:06
  me
• 36:06
  feedback
• 36:06
  on

  my

  episode
• 36:07
  recommendations.
• 36:08
  Let
• 36:08
  me
• 36:08
  know
• 36:08
  if
• 36:09
  you've
• 36:09
  listened
• 36:09
  to
• 36:09
  the
• 36:09
  episode
• 36:10
  and
• 36:10
  what
• 36:11
  you
• 36:11
  think
• 36:12
  April
• 36:12
  is
• 36:13
  over.
• 36:13
  So
• 36:14
  a
• 36:14
  April
• 36:15
  is
• 36:15
  over
• 36:15
  and
• 36:16
  it's
• 36:17
  been
• 36:17
  fun
• 36:17
  talking
• 36:17
  about
• 36:18
  AI
• 36:18
  in
• 36:19
  movies,
• 36:19
  but
• 36:19
  it's
• 36:20
  also
• 36:20
  time
• 36:20
  to
• 36:20
  move
• 36:21
  on
• 36:21
  to
• 36:21
  something
• 36:21
  new.
• 36:22
  Double
• 36:23
  episodes
• 36:23
  have
• 36:24
  been
• 36:24
  a
• 36:24
  thing
• 36:24
  on
• 36:24
  this
• 36:24
  podcast
• 36:25
  before,
• 36:26
  talking
• 36:26
  about
• 36:26
  a
• 36:26
  movie
• 36:27
  and
• 36:27
  its
• 36:27
  sequel,
• 36:28
  or
• 36:28
  a
• 36:28
  movie
• 36:29
  and
• 36:29
  it's
• 36:29
  remake.
• 36:31
  But
• 36:31
  what
• 36:31
  about
• 36:31
  a
• 36:32
  movie
• 36:32
  and
• 36:33
  its
• 36:33
  twin?
• 36:34
  Twin
• 36:35
  films
• 36:35
  have
• 36:36
  always
• 36:36
  been
• 36:36
  a
• 36:36
  strange
• 36:37
  Hollywood
• 36:37
  phenomenon,
• 36:38
  and
• 36:39
  while
• 36:39
  I
• 36:39
  didn't
• 36:39
  really
• 36:39
  want
• 36:40
  to
• 36:40
  do
• 36:40
  a
• 36:40
  whole
• 36:40
  month
• 36:40
  of
• 36:41
  them
• 36:41
  because
• 36:41
  I
• 36:42
  thought
• 36:42
  that
• 36:42
  might
• 36:42
  be
• 36:42
  a
• 36:43
  bit
• 36:43
  overkill,
• 36:44
  I
• 36:44
  wanted
• 36:44
  to
• 36:45
  go
• 36:45
  to
• 36:45
  two
• 36:45
  of
• 36:46
  the
• 36:46
  biggest
• 36:46
  pairs
• 36:47
  of
• 36:47
  twin
• 36:47
  films
• 36:48
  from
• 36:48
  the
• 36:48
  1990s,
• 36:49
  specifically
• 36:50
  disaster
• 36:51
  movies.
• 36:52
  And
• 36:52
  I
• 36:52
  want
• 36:52
  to
• 36:52
  start
• 36:53
  with
• 36:54
  a
• 36:54
  small
• 36:54
  town
• 36:55
  versus
• 36:55
  a
• 36:56
  big
• 36:56
  city
• 36:57
  Brosnan
• 36:58
  and
• 36:58
  Hamilton
• 36:58
  versus
• 36:59
  Jones
• 36:59
  and
• 37:00
  Hech
• 37:01
  in
• 37:01
  the
• 37:01
  1997
• 37:02
  pairing
• 37:03
  of
• 37:03
  Dante's
• 37:04
  Peak
• 37:04
  and
• 37:05
  Volcano,
• 37:05
  which
• 37:06
  were
• 37:06
  released
• 37:06
  just
• 37:07
  a
• 37:07
  couple
• 37:07

  months
• 37:07
  apart
• 37:08
  and
• 37:08
  both
• 37:09
  starred
• 37:09
  volcanoes,

  the
• 37:11
  titular
• 37:12
  Dante's
• 37:12
  Peak
• 37:13
  and
• 37:13
  an
• 37:13
  underground
• 37:14
  volcano
• 37:15
  at

  the

  as
• 37:18
  one

  man
• 37:18
  and

  use

  save
• 37:22
  the

• 37:23
  And
• 37:23
  for
• 37:23
  the
• 37:23
  first
• 37:24
  time
• 37:24
  I'm
• 37:24
  pitting
• 37:25
  one
• 37:25
  movie
• 37:25
  against

  the
