Episode description
We’re heading back to the 80s with Short Circuit (1986) and Wargames (1983) to find out if these movies have kept their nostalgic charm or if they’re stuck in a time warp. Let’s see how well they’ve aged!
We explore how the films reflect the Cold War era’s fears and fascination with technology and discuss whether their depictions of AI and technological threats remain relevant today.
Join us as we continue our journey through A.I on screen.
