Media Montage Podcast 94 - CHAPPiE (2015)

Artificial Intelligence is a theme that has been explored numerous times on the Media Montage Podcast, the Terminator, Google as Skynet, The Outer Limits and of Course Short Circuit!

This week Bruce and Larry look at another AI in CHAPPiE, Neil Blomkomp's 2015 sci-fi exploration of the subject.  The film stars Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Sigourney Weaver, Hugh Jackman, and Watkin Tudor Jones (Ninja) and Yolandi Visser of the South African zef rap-rave group Die Antwoord. This movie has been critically panned, but Bruce and Larry find a lot to like about it.

They look at some of the larger themes of consciousness, religion and morality presented in the film. Does CHAPPiE deserve the hate it's been getting? Find out in episode 94 of the Media Montage Podcast!
