For our Halloween special Matt and Rob interview writer, producer, director, best-selling author, and host of the Cynema podcast Harrison Smith! This episode promises an insightful conversation with Harrison as he gives a peak into his upcoming projects and shares the origins of his passion for horror films.
As we delve deeper into the convolutions of the entertainment industry, we explore the potential seismic shift AI could inflict on Hollywood. Harrison, armed with his wealth of knowledge, offers enlightening perspectives on the rapidly emerging technology; from its application in de-aging actors and generating film characters, to the challenges it presents to those in the industry.
Matt and Rob also present Harrison with a new cocktail they have specially crafted to pair with his movie, "The Special," which Matt and friends will watch and react to next week!
