Linda HolmesHOST
Yeah
Ronald Young Jr.GUEST
... on that basis, 'cause I'd seen Musk, and I'd seen Social Reckoning, and I'm looking forward to seeing Artificial, which is about-
Linda HolmesHOST
Sam Altman
Ronald Young Jr.GUEST
...
Linda HolmesHOST
Mm-hmm
Ronald Young Jr.GUEST
...
Ronald Young Jr.GUEST
I haven't seen the Artificial yet, but the other two are calibrated to take down these very wealthy individuals.
Ronald Young Jr.GUEST
I was thinking, as I was watching this, that any of these individuals coming out of it could point to these movies and say, "Well, look how unfairly we're being treated [laughs], right?" And so that's kind of how I, I was looking at the film and thinking, "Well, this isn't fair to them in a lot of respects." On the other hand, it is persuasive, it is good movie making in a way that the other ones don't, haven't been so far.
Jake ShaneHOST
Yeah.
Jake ShaneHOST
Oh, Artificial.
Jake ShaneHOST
I've heard it's amazing.
Billy EichnerGUEST
I know.
Sophia CiminelloHOST
It has been on repeat for me as I've been working.
Sophia CiminelloHOST
Another highlight was Luca Guadagnino's Artificial.
Sophia CiminelloHOST
This will be coming out at Christmas.
Sophia CiminelloHOST
So then we'll have, I think, a full episode or a larger part of an episode dedicated to reviewing this movie once you've seen it.
9 MINS LATER
Nick RuhrkrautHOST
What were some of your favorite moments from this year's festival?
Sophia CiminelloHOST
Yeah.
Sophia CiminelloHOST
So I know we've talked a lot about music on this episode, but I love Blur and Gorillaz, so that means I'm also a big fan of Damon Albarn, and he did the score for Artificial and wrote a few original songs for the film.
Sophia CiminelloHOST
And at the screening before it started, there's a piano on stage, and I thought, "What could this mean?"
Shadan LarkiHOST
Yeah
Tom O'BrienGUEST
... films that opened, uh, uh, You Can See Everything and Artificial, which I was not around to see.
Shadan LarkiHOST
Mm-hmm.
Tom O'BrienGUEST
But Artificial certainly, I think, has received the kind of reviews that will make it a player-
Shadan LarkiHOST
Yeah
Tom O'BrienGUEST
...
Julia BlackGUEST
Unfortunately [laughs] money is now allowing people to buy that much more power and influence than the individual.
Oz WoloshynHOST
The title of your column, Billion to One, is a particularly fitting title for this week's column, which includes some movie reviews, including Artificial and The Social Reckoning.
Oz WoloshynHOST
Just to kind of ground the conversation, can you give the logline of both of those movies?
Julia BlackGUEST
Sure.
Julia BlackGUEST
So Artificial, in an actually very savvy move, I think, if you watch the trailer, this is framed as sort of a Sam Altman biopic, you know, get to know the evil genius behind OpenAI, because that's- The household name currently for that company.
Julia BlackGUEST
It's actually a film about Ilya Sutskever, who is, of course, OpenAI's former chief, uh, scientific officer, and he is framed as sort of a tragic hero in this origin story and [laughs] eventual chaotic mess that becomes the world of OpenAI.
Julia BlackGUEST
Sam Altman certainly a, a character in the film, but by no means the main character.
Oz WoloshynHOST
[laughs]
ReegsHOST
It's sort of about time travel and AI and all sorts of interesting stuff going on.
SideyHOST
Oh, I saw a trailer for Artificial.
SideyHOST
You see that? It's Andrew Garfield as, as Sam Altman.
ReegsHOST
Oh, yeah.
Nikki BediHOST
So what do you think's been getting the most buzz?
Leila LatifPANELIST
There's been quite a lot of buzz for Artificial, which is a new film about, uh, the creation of AI, and you have Andrew Garfield, uh, playing, um, Sam Altman, which is one of the big premieres at the festival.
Leila LatifPANELIST
And it's really kicked off quite a lot of Oscar buzz that I think most people didn't really expect to be quite as strong coming from that film.
Nikki BediHOST
Interesting.
Lucy Ann LanceHOST
He's the one, the only Perry Seibert, America's film critic.
Lucy Ann LanceHOST
He's with the Michigan Movie Critics Guild, and he's all ours for nearly 30 years now as our movie reviewer on the Lucianne Land Show, Ann Arbor's talk station, 1290 WLBW.
Lucy Ann LanceHOST
Here he is, Perry Seibert.
Perry SeibertGUEST
Uh, this is a, a, I like the phrase standalone sequel.
Perry SeibertGUEST
You don't need to have seen The Social Network to see The Social Reckoning.
Perry SeibertGUEST
Um, but you should see The Social Network because it's better than most any film you're ever gonna see.
Lucy Ann LanceHOST
Wow.
Perry SeibertGUEST
Including The Social Reckoning.
Chloe MalleHOST
... our October, one of our October cover stars, Mikey Madison, and I found it quite chilling, and I thought everyone was so good in it, and the writing was great, so I recommend everyone see that.
Chloe MalleHOST
And this week, I saw Artificial, which is Luca Guadagnino's new film, which is due to be released on Christmas Day, and what a way to spend Christmas, because it is about the fall of mankind, and [laughs] it is-
Chioma NnadiHOST
Ooh
Chloe MalleHOST
...
Brett DasovicHOST
Yeah.
Brett DasovicHOST
When he got done with Artificial, he's like, "Yeah, I'm never using ChatGPT again."
StephGUEST
Exactly.
