  • CTP 212: A.I. Artificial Intelligence
    May 29 2026

    We're back with our 2000s pick in our Spielberg Through the Decades series, A.I. Artificial Intelligence!

    A long time passed between our '80s selection, E.T., and now our '90s selection, Saving Private Ryan, for our Spielberg Through the Decades series, including Spielberg winning Best Director at the Oscars. The film we're reviewing has become THE World War II movie that people think of in the last almost 30 years since it's release, but does it hold up? Next episode, we'll be covering his next film, from 2001 (and of his most beloved films), A.I. Artificial Intelligence!

Come back next episode for our '90s selection, a much different film, Saving Private Ryan, followed by our '00s pick, A.I. Artificial Intelligence!
