In this episode we discuss representations of robot children and the relationships between robots and children. Here we see examinations of how technology affects the family and ideas around parenthood and our responsibility towards both human children and our artificial creations. Is there even much difference between the two? To answer this question, we discuss Steven Spielberg's (by way of Stanley Kubrick) sci-fi fairy tale A.I. Artificial Intelligence (02:20) and B-movie horror satire M3GAN (01:17:03). We finish by listing some Honourable Mentions of other films that explore the many implications of the development of child robots (01:48:23).***Please rate and review our podcast!***Hosted, produced, and edited by Liam Dunn and Lindsay HallamMusic composed and performed by Damo Alexander and Rosie GilbeyArtwork by Millie HallamVisit our website: https://rss.com/podcasts/scifrights/Email us at [email protected] us on:InstagramFacebookBlueskyLetterboxd
