About this episode

This episode explores the themes of technology and humanity through the lens of the film 'Virtuosity', featuring a virtual killer and a haunted ex-cop.

This week's episode is brought to you by listeners like you, showing up one moment at a time. Thank you for listening, for taking space for yourself, and for reminding us that none of us has to go through this alone. Here's a taste of what's ahead. Hop aboard CodeFlix for a fast-paced dive into Virtuosity: a near-future thriller where a virtual serial killer—SID 6.7—escapes into the real world and toys with a haunted ex-cop searching for redemption. We trace the collapse of the simulation, the gruesome set pieces, and a cat-and-mouse chase that forces characters to confront grief, guilt, and the ethics of playing god with artificial minds. Told through vivid scenes, tense confrontations, and razor-sharp questions about technology and humanity, this episode unpacks how a mid‑90s vision of AI still speaks to us today—about the machines we build, the monsters they reflect, and the fragile lines that keep us human.
