Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 45-minutes discussing various Google "AI Overview" answers, laughing at their absurdity, and also reviewing how bad AI (or, large language models: LLMs) simply amplify lies, misinformation, or useless search and research practices (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Kathryn and Melvin agree: the direction behind Cube is immensely impressive.
- The Canadian Film Centre is a program that helps network industry partners and volunteers with projects they've chosen to support. Cube was one such project. (Source: Sardonicast 150 [timestamp: 00:16:09])
- There’s a perpetual unease and oppression to Cube that meshes well with its pacing.
- One angle about Cube's story is that of how there are unwitting participants in systematic issues.
- The characters are all named in reference to prison, although not all the characters are named after prison's, as Kathryn learned down the grapevine.
- Melvin, "[Cube] at some point is a math movie."
- Melvin talks about his current fascination with numbers as a definitive thing a world of excessive subjectivities.
- Because the setting and scenario of the cube is so static, the film allows for complex, dynamic character interactions.
- Thoughts on the ending, and the cube as a metaphor for life.
