    Ty's Flood of Bad Luck! No Episode This Week!

    Ty's Flood of Bad Luck! No Episode This Week!

    Ty can't seem to catch a break. I get into the details in this short pod, but unfortunately Ty has run into some terrible luck the past couple days and we had to throw recording out the window (and we were even halfway through the episode, we swear!). We planned on doing Flamin' Hot this week, so we'll still plan on releasing that this week or in two weeks. Until then contact us at rollitpodcast@gmail.com or follow us!

    A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) - Directed by Steven Spielberg

    This week we're talking about another sci-fi film, this time as a frame to deal with love, religion,  and search for meaning, with Spielberg's A.I. Haley Joel Osment gives a tour de force perfomance as a robot child capable of love in this depressing Kubrick/Spielberg collaboration of sorts. We've got a lot of thoughts on this film, and we don't even scratch the surface of this, but have a listen and let us know what you think! Contact us at rollitpodcast@gmail.com or follow us!
