I am a big fan of "bad movie" shows. MST3K, Flop House, WHM, HDTGM, etc., but a few years ago I thought, "why not do the opposite? do a podcast praising hated, bad, or underappreciated movies." so I did.
the guest *always* likes the movie, and I provide historical context for the negativity. 😉

then why wasn't it called Cracker Spread
Oscar Mayer Sandwich Spread (circa 1952-circa 2015): a mélange of creamy, spreadable meat, made primarily of bologna, mayo, pickles, onions, peppers and various spices, sold in a tube. "Great on crackers!" per the label.

if I wanna see Zach Braff being unfunny I'll watch TV until I see one of his countless commercials.
No calming bedside manner can get around the cold, hard truth: there's no life to be found in #Scrubs Season 10. Sorry, but Zach Braff doesn't have the comedic range for what he's called to do in a sad reboot that's dead on arrival 📺

Agreed. If a certain AI can help cure cancer, use it. but we don't need generative AI for books and films. humans are already pretty good at creative writing.
It isn't what Jack Shipley is arguing here, but I do make distinctions between generative and non-generative AI if that's considered a grey area.
