Hello friends and family, we're finally at the end of our sci-fi discourse as we wind down in 2002 and discuss Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. But, we couldn't do this one alone. We've called in our old friend Caleb Masters to talk about one of this all-time favorite films, Minority Report. This wrong man/man on the run sci-fi thriller is based on a story from Philip K. Dick and stars the legend known as Tom Cruise. We're asking philosophical questions, dealing in predetermined outcomes, assessing the prophetic accuracy of the technology on display, revisiting our old analytical friend Agency vs Police, and much, much more in this jam-packed episode! You can keep up with Caleb's work over at The Cinematropolis and his Cinematic Schematic podcast (which Arthur and Dalton both guested on in the back half of 2021).
Make sure to join us again next week when we take a look at a selection chosen by one of our Patreon friends.
