s08e07 Relic – The Good Robot Andys

https://www.artificialworlds.net/goodrobotandys/2021/03/02/s08e07-relic-the-good-robot-andys/

Discussion (with spoilers) of Relic. Andy B thinks it's a rollicking Disney adventure about some mice who can breathe under water, which is an interesting commentary on religion, but Andy C explains it's a subtle horror that explores generational trauma and the pain of caring for someone with dementia.

https://www.artificialworlds.net/goodrobotandys/2020/09/28/s08e02-snowpiercer-the-good-robot-andys/

Discussion (with spoilers) of Snowpiercer. Andy B thinks it might be a live-action ear-piercing-as-a-metaphor-for-emotional-growth movie set in the Frozen universe, but Andy C patiently explains that it's a Sci Fi where the last remnants of humanity live on a socially-divided train.

s08e01Proxima – The Good Robot Andys

https://www.artificialworlds.net/goodrobotandys/2020/09/14/s08e01proxima-the-good-robot-andys/

Discussion (with spoilers) of Proxima, which is a story about an astronaut overcoming personal circumstances to train for a mission to Mars. Andy B speculates that it features a robot who eats human flesh, but Andy C puts him right: it's highly recommended because the story is engaging and the performances are excellent.
