Is It a Big Leap Forward Into Anti-Intelectualism?

In today’s episode, we discuss the 2022 Sight and Sound list of the best movies.

Also, we chat about why cinema is not the all-healing tool of the universe, and we discuss the things that freak us out about A.I. technology.

In this episode, we talk about…

• Our responses to the outrage of other filmmakers 
• Not caring what others think about your taste in movies
• Three films that promote the healing power of cinema: Empire of Light, Babylon, and The Fabelman’s
• Written content produced by A.I. and the misinformation that comes with it
• Why we need to stop lowering the bar intellectually
• Developing that human touch that A.I. cannot grasp
