Episode Synopsis

Disillusionment and discontent was alive and well before the rise of smartphones and AI. The 2003 Sofia Coppola film, Lost in Translation, is an exploration of experience. The unexpected friendship between Bill Murray’s Bob and Scarlett Johansson’s Charlotte is accidental, but it’s rooted in shared experiences that will only ever happen once. The demand for analog, human experiences may rise again, says Kento Morita. As AI-created “slop” increasingly seeps into our culture, those wishing for high fidelity experiences will seek them out, not from a screen, but from a stage. • The Rise of AI in Entertainment• The Value of Authenticity in a Digital Age• The Importance of Live Experiences• Navigating the World of Performance and Failure• The Intersection of Sports and Performance• Lessons from Crafting a Joke Every Day for a YearConnect with Kento on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentmorita/ KENTO YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@kentonyc Instagram – kento.nycMusic courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/
