    Director of the new film The Pod Generation, Sophie Barthes, joins us to discuss what inspired the movie and what may be lost in the thoughtless pursuit of technology. 🧪 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/pod-generation-movie/

    MJ's @thebiparadox.bsky.social says, "THE POD GENERATION isn’t perhaps the most subtle sci-fi film, but considering the timeliness of its subject matter, maybe it doesn’t need to be." THE POD GENERATION is now playing in theaters.

    We watched The Pod Generation last night, a film with Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor as a couple who decide to have a baby using a "pod", an AI driven plastic womb. It was a little Black Mirror with some satire on how capitalism exploits parents for profit, but something didn't quite work. 1/2

    Really fun to hear the filmmakers Sophie Barthes and Alex Rivera discuss their process, their view of AI, the challenges of being and independent filmmaker and other topics, after watching their two films, The Pod Generation and Sleep Dealer, in a film theater.

    Excellent questions! Piercy's work (and Firestone's) is definitely problematic, but I can't think of any contemporary SF that portrays ectogenesis positively (maybe The Pod Generation comes closest even though it's not a great movie...). Most current portrayals are dystopian!

    We watched THE POD GENERATION over the weekend, and it was a 1970s french SF movie in all the worst ways. I kept waiting for some conflict, ANY conflict that didn't magically end after 30 seconds.

    The Pod Generation is the first film where I’m really like “Yeah, these are fantastic film actors, but this story is probably better told as a two-season prestige show.”

    Having a romantic night in watching a bizarre film called ‘The Pod Generation’ with Emilia Clarke. Basically, it’s set in the future and women can have babies artificially inseminated into pods that act like a womb, so women can continue momentum in their careers. Reminds me of something … 🤔

    The Pod Generation is a 90 min film with twenty minutes of wheel spinning. Takes too long to get the enciting action and then repeats itself at least twice in the development section. It's an interesting concept that would only justify its length if it was an ensemble piece.

    Have you ever wondered what it means to be human in a world where nature and work are redefined? The Pod Generation isn't just a film; it's a journey into these existential questions. The movie begins by delving into the complex relationship between modern work and work-life balance. From the very start,it captivated me with its realistic and imaginable future scenarios. This is a rare sci-fi film that combines futurism with believability, drawing you into a world that feels both alien and…

  • Louisa Moore - Screen Zealots @screenzealotsTMDB reviews · Apr 23, 2023

    By: Louisa Moore / www.ScreenZealots.com Science Fiction stories are almost always interesting or intellectually stimulating, and on paper, the idea behind “The Pod Generation” sounds like a good premise. This female-focused satire of how technology, consumerism, nature, and detached parenting co-exist in modern society starts off strong but quickly falters. Writer / director Sophie Barthes simply cannot figure out where she wants her story to go, and she hits the brakes before ever getting it…

    FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/the-pod-generation-review-sundance-2023 "The Pod Generation features remarkable world-building and futuristic production design, but despite sharing thought-provoking yet repetitive, superficial messages about human evolution and advanced technology, it lacks a stronger emotional impact. Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor are VERY good, though." Rating: C+
