    Natalie Wynn: Sees modern politics as a series of tropes and events that relate to each other in certain preset ways but not others. Obsessed with colorful ambient lighting.

    James Cameron: Unapologetically combines these relations through an immersive scifi spectacle, giving today's political conditions a true sense of scale and connection to a greater systemic issue. Obsessed with colorful ambient lighting.

        Pretty sure Spielberg was in the Epstein flight-logs / black book, while Cameron was not.

          Oh, he totally is a better person. I was just trying to plug a criminally-underrated (and largely unknown) show - specifically Future Man. It's very funny.

          This is only a small part of the TV series. It starts with a weird reddit-brained premise: one dude finally is the first to beat a supposedly unbeatable video game, and two resistance fighters from a terminator-like future - mistakenly thinking the game was a full-on simulation to find Humanity's savior - beam in through a time machine to team up with him. You really think you know how it's gonna go from there (boringly that is), but you do not. They quickly went bong-rip-insane with it, and it makes for a really great show.

            That's just the plot of The Last Starfighter.
