53. Sex Robots Will Kill Us All
Manage episode 241742691 series 2429955
This week Steph reflects on movies from the 80's set in 2019, how accurate and inaccurate their predictions were, and our opinions on whether we can have sex with robots.
We also discuss bed bugs in The New York Times office, Disney war on popular culture and why The Eclecticast office won't be on a WeWork floor.
Finally we talk about Ari Aster's new film Midsommar.
