This week, we introduce Robob (Pronounced row-bob. You know, like robot Bob). John has created a program to work with a large-language-model (artificial intelligence that has been making waves in the news recently) and we talk with it to see what it thinks about Rear Window.

This week, we watch Jimmy Stewart sit in a chair and stare out his back window. This film holds up as a tight thriller, which blends mystery with comedy in a fantastic way. It doesn't feel like a film that is nearly celebrating its 70th birthday. Rear Window (1954), directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

This week, we watch the “narrative” / feature length music video by one of the biggest bands of all time, Pink Floyd. Even if you’re not the biggest Floyd fan, there is a lot to appreciate in this arthouse smattering of imagery and animation. The Wall (1982), directed by Alan Parker.

This week, we watch the sci-fi / horror / action masterpiece by the director that would go on to have three of the top five grossing movies of all time.

The Fabelmans (2022), directed by Steven Spielberg.
