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.
