It’s a leap year so we’re still on time for a February podcast! It’s movie awards season, and sometimes the pictures up for golden statues are popular with mainstream audiences but just don’t grab you. The Pigs are feeling that this season, so this episode they’re talking about movies that feel like they were made just for them. Aquaman 2 is not one of those movies.

The Film Pigs are happy to report we’re ending March with a brand-new indictment-free episode!

We’re back just in time to end February with our fingers on the pulse – we’re talking how the rise of Artificial Intelligence will affect the future of cinema. When an A.I. bot can write, storyboard, build 3-D sets, deepfake actors, and edit movies by itself who needs human artists at all? Will A.I. tech send us down this dystopian road of art no longer being produced by human thought or will it enable new and different kinds of expression for more people? And will the game in this episode upset Todd? Tune in for the answers and “Hold on to your butts!”

It’s nearing All Hallows’ Eve and that means it’s time for a Film Pigs podcast that has nothing to do with Halloween!

A common refrain is that there is too much Computer Generated Image VFX in movies that dilute the experience.

It’s Magnum Monday! We figured with all that quarantine time on your hands you could use some extra internet content – in the form of the pilot episodes for a Magnum P.I. podcast Todd & Skelton were going to do for the former Previously.TV (now part of Primetimer).
