What makes us human? And what happens when machines start to blur the line? Can a robot feel love, grief, or loneliness? And how do our fears and hopes about AI show up in the stories we tell? In this special edition of Watch & Talk, we’ll dive into a curated selection of short films—all featuring robots in some way. Hosted by Joel, a rising star at Popcorn Club and a sci-fi film connoisseur, this session will take us through imaginative worlds that raise real questions about identity, empathy, technology, and the future of society._x000D_

From tender emotional moments to unsettling visions of what’s to come, these short films pack a powerful punch in just a few minutes each. Joel has a gift for picking stories that spark deep discussion and challenge our assumptions. After each film, we’ll open up thoughtful conversations on the themes, symbolism, and the very real questions they bring up about our world and ourselves._x000D_

And, of course, let’s have a deep, fun, and intelligent discussion about our mutual cinematic journey!_x000D_
