In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 2013 American science-fiction romantic drama film "Her" - written, directed and produced by Spike Jonze. The film follows Theodore Twombly (played by Joaquin Phoenix), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (played by Scarlett Johansson), an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. The film is a commentary on the complexities of romantic relationships and predicts a time in the near future when technology and computer operating systems might become so advanced and even more integral to people's lives that the relationships and the attachments that develop between them and people could grow and evolve into becoming something even more meaningful and intimate than we could ever predict. The film also stars Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and Chris Pratt.
