#249 "No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake" The Artificial Intelligence Reel Talk

This week on The ReeL Debaters Podcast the cast reviews 3 Body Problem, Xmen 97, The Yellowstone Series, The Deadpool 3 trailer, and discusses the world of Artificial Intelligence in cinema, themes, ethics, morality, and some of the best movies about said subject
