This week, we’re joined again by actor, director, and screenwriter Jonathan Daniel Brown to talk about Hollywood’s AI infatuation, and how it’s producing cheaper, and worse, films.

Jonathan talks to us about how the AI industry entered Hollywood, the pressures it has placed on creators by forcing out technical expertise, and how it’s driving film production out of Hollywood, and even out of the United States entirely.

We also talk about the recent cache of Epstein files, and, among all the darkness and evil, the revelation that Epstein and his acolytes seemed to also be obsessed with posting online.

Friend of the show Oobah Butler returns to talk about his latest documentary, How to Make a Million in 90 days.

Live from New York, Oobah tells us about the murky financial world he stumbled upon while making the documentary, filled with bored fintech CEOs and finance guys devoid of any real ideas, and desperate to make as much money as they can through exploiting attention and hype. We also talk about why this project may have been Oobah’s funniest, but also most depressing – and what happens when a documentarian has to confront a group of people who refuse to engage with reality, while using their wealth to manipulate the world around them.

This week, we’re joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald, who talks to us about the attempts to regulate and rein in X in the UK, and whether the state has the ability to regulate an AI system like Grok. Zoë also explains why some MPs are unwilling to let go of their accounts, even as the platform gets overrun with abusive and racist material.

Of course, we also touch on the most important story facing the world right now, namely, the implosion of the Beckham family, and ask whether they could be put back together through the power of Cruz Beckham’s electro-indie musical project.
