Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast From the scam of Telemarketers to the world of AI, Adam Bhala Lough tries to give Sam Altman a taste of his own and in the process taps into something far scarier than an apocalyptic vision but one of acquiescence towards a future we cannot stop. Rated: 3/4 Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Deepfaking Sam Altman offers a solid introduction to the world of AI for those who’ve been fearful of the depth of the rabbit hole. Its last act hurts the film’s overall effectiveness, but it’s largely an engaging watch. Rated: 7/10 Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
