Description
Clare and Alaina make sense of romance movies between humans and non-humans. Love is hard to find. Sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it...like when you buy an AI virtual assistant or a sex doll that you buy online. Listen to us as we break down each romance, and which couples get our approval. In addition to breaking down the relationships, we also discuss worldbuilding within the movie Her. Instead of being invested in the relationship, we were too busy thinking about the malevolent ways the technology could be used. Especially how creepy it is that Samantha, the AI girlfriend, can search through all of Theodore's data with no repercussions. Boundaries are important people!! Additionally, if you like Beauty and the Beast, you’re in luck! In a fun mix-up, Clare watched the French 1946 version, while Alaina watched the new live-action 2017 movie (even though each one would have preferred to watch the other). Come listen to us discuss these topics and so many more. This is Making Sense of Movies with Clare and Alaina!
