Episode 215 - Her

(Deep Dive begins at 33:55)

The past is a story that we tell ourselves, or so I was told by my Operating System.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Megan, and Georgia (Liam and Ethan are on dates with their phones at the beach) as we tackle the Spike Jonze Sci-Fi film about loving your technology and your technology loving you right back, Her.  We're questioning the very nature of existence in our 215th episode as we discuss: 

• Joaquin Phoenix and why some viewers struggle with watching his films
• Where Spike Jonze was inspired when coming up with the film's colour pallette
• Georgia and Megan teach Ian some young hip slang
• We talk about the ripple effects this film has for the actors lives involved
• Ian wants to talk about modern-day narcissism 
• We discuss whether it's better to have a plot driven film or a character driven film
• Ian calls out someone for copyright infringement
• Skynet puts a couple of the BFE in their place
• Whether or not Her is the Best Film Ever
