Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.
In this episode, we’re uploading the Spike Jonze 2013 movie HER and exploring the relationship between Theodore and his operating system Samantha. Among other prestigious accolades, this movie won Jonze the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, with Scarlett Johansson taking over the role of the OS system from Samantha Morton once filming had completed. Does this strange and tender relationship tell us something unsettling about where we’re all headed? Or are we just coming at this with the limited perspective of un-artificial minds?
Recorded in March 2022.
