サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Companion (2025) comes to us at a great time in our culture’s history. As of this writing, AI hucksters are incinerating the planet so anyone can prompt Harry Potter fan fiction and the innumerate can vibe code their way to enough series A funding to purchase one-way flights to the Martian refugee colonies of the ultra wealthy.
If those words are unfamiliar to you, just wait. Soon enough, the tech oligarchs will replace you with a subservient version of yourself that will. Or maybe they’ll just make paperclips until we’re all dead.
But don’t be a sad android! This is a fun movie and we have a fun time talking about it. We discuss AI doomerism, loneliness, The Book of Love song “Boy”, and of all things, the power of love.
Special note: this weekend is the @unnamedfootagefestival and we’ll be out exploring the unhinged visions of our comrades with our rapidly deteriorating meatsuits. Be there!
