Summary

Why are mushrooms on the lips of every true crime podcaster? Has Google's new AI video software put the final nail in the TV and Film industry's coffin? Australia has been gripped by the case of Erin Pattinson, the recently convicted "Mushroom Killer". What does our obsession with murder and crime say about us as consumers? Richard and Marina discuss the true-crime-industrial complex and how that impacts the subjects of these often traumatising cases. The latest, and most impressive, AI filmaking tool 'Flow' by Google has taken the tech world by storm. Richard sets out his vision for a new media utopia, fuelled by the revolutionary app. Recommendations: Marina - K Pop Demon Hunters (Netflix) Richard - 24 Hours In Police Custody (Channel 4) / Can't Sell Must Sell (Channel 4) / Last Stop Larrimah (HBO) Both - Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (Netflix) The Rest Is Entertainment AAA Club: Become a member for exclusive bonus content, early access to our Q&A episodes, ad-free listening, access to our exclusive newsletter archive, discount book prices on selected titles with our partners at Coles, early ticket access to future live events, and our members’ chatroom on Discord.
