What could possibly be relevant about this 13-year-old movie in today's world? 🤔

Ian Robinson@atpfm This has been sitting in my "watch later" queue for years...
Pierre-Luc Gagné@ianRobinson @atpfm Oh boy. That’s a long time in your queue. In the time you waited, they invented the sci-fi technology in the film!

Dirk Olbertz@atpfm great timing! I just re-watched it yesterday. Looking forward to listening to what you have to say about it.

_IanOfEarth@atpfm this is one of my all-time favorite movies, you better not annoy me 😆
@atpfm Did you not remember that Her stood for: Horny Electronic RomCom? 😂
Great episode, justice done!
Todd Vaziri@atpfm oh boy
Christian Tietze@atpfm 13 years ... ? 👀

Matt Killmon@atpfm My only minor correction: “Journey” was not published by Annapurna in the timeframe of Her (2013)'s release; they did publish the Windows and iOS ports in 2019, but in 2012 “Journey” was developed by Thatgamecompany and published directly by Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for the PlayStation 3.
John Siracusa@stillmoms I was going to use Edith Finch as my example, but I think Journey was mentioned, so I went with that.
Tambourine Man@atpfm I think you guys missed the mark. It’s precisely because computers in the future are good at writing letters that Phoenix’s character is hired to write them. His letters are valued *because* they are written by a human.
Also, the movie didn’t get a lot right by accident. The issues it addresses were already “in the air” in the early 2010s.
Jeremy Cox@atpfm the game in the movie was created by David O’Reilly, who went on to create ‘mountain’ and ‘everything’. https://www.davidoreilly.com
