Our new episode explores how direct relationships develop between humans and A.I. We discuss one woman’s nightmare of A.I. domination in Demon Seed, and Alex Garland’s examination of human/A.I. relations (and possible robot liberation) in Ex Machina.

Please check us out & leave a review!
Under the banner with podcast title SCIFRIGHTS is the poster for Demon Seed, which has a woman lying face up, her hair falls down the bottom half, over which there is the tagline "Julie Christie carries the demon seed", then further down it says "Fear for her". Next to it is the poster for Ex Machina, all black with a photo of a robot woman turning to look straight at us.

We begin our new season on AI and technofear by focusing on just one film (which just happens to be Liam's favourite movie) - Stanley Kubrick's monumental masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. There is so much to unpack with this film so consider this the deepest of dives - into the infinite and beyond
At the top is the title of the podcast SciFrights, underneath is a poster for 2001: A Space Odyssey. The poster has a drawing of a circular spacecraft orbiting near the earth, underneath is a small photo of a man in an astronaut helmet next to the title 2001: A Space Odyssey written in yellow font.

In our new episode we look at the greatest monster humanity ever created: society itself! We discuss 70s dystopia classic Soylent Green and Brian Yuzna’s splatstick satire Society. Yes, this one gets a bit political but the best horror and sci-fi films often do, don't they?
At the top is the title of the podcast SCIFRIGHTS. Underneath is the poster for Soylent Green (images of the faces of the main characters, most prominently Charlton Heston in a blue cap and blue shirt) and the poster for Society (a man in a tuxedo stands behind a woman in a blue gown who seems to be pulling her face off)
