Welcome to an interesting Black Dog podcast this week. With all of the host having a crap week mainly struck down with the lurgy this weeks discussion is pretty short, but that is more than made up by the discussion surrounding the first of this years Selfish Medcalf Movie Month. Alex Garlands chilly SF Thriller Ex Machina. Is it a study in artificial intelligence, emotional isolation, misogyny, racism, irresponsible science or just the best episode of Black Mirror Charlie Brooker never wrote? Or is it something else entirely? So much gets picked over with this one. Next week Selfish Medcalf Month continues with the Cohen Brothers Gangster epic Millers Crossing.
