18: Laker Red & Betrayal

Cliff touches down with a crate of Laker Red (Waterloo Brewing link below) and we immediately turn to treachery — specifically, cinematic treachery. Episode 18 is built around our Top 10 movie betrayals of all time: the scenes that hit you in the gut, rearrange your loyalties and leave you shouting at the screen. From Fredo in The Godfather Part II to HAL’s cold logic in 2001: A Space Odyssey, we unpack why those moments still sting decades later.The second half of the show gets real-world big: Pete and Cliff go head-to-head on the future of AI — jobs, dignity, and whether automation is a liberation or a slow erosion of purpose. Expect practical points (robot surgeons, driverless trucks, algorithmic hiring) and philosophical ones (what work means, whether Universal Basic Income is an insurance policy for dignity, and the nightmare-and-dream versions of an AI-run world). We refuse Skynet fatalism but also don’t hand-wave the disruption.Of course, we keep it Pints of View: there’s a Scumbag of the Week, a Warhammer-shaped detour, a salute to Sean Bean’s improbable betrayal roster, and a dad-joke finale that will make you groan and forgive us anyway. Don’t miss the play-out song — a thoughtful, slightly melancholy send-off that somehow pairs perfectly with caramel malt and moral outrage.Betrayal, machines and bad puns — Episode 18 serves them all. Pull up a chair, open a Laker, and shout at the screen with us.Check out Laker Red and Waterloo Brewing here:https://www.waterloobrewing.com/movie betrayals, top betrayals in film, Laker Red Waterloo Brewing, AI and employment debate, universal basic income, HAL 9000 betrayal, Lando Calrissian betrayal, Primal Fear twist, Pints of View podcast#PintsOfView #LakerRed #WaterlooBrewing #MovieBetrayals #Top10Movies #AIdebate #JobsAndAI #ScumbagOfTheWeek #DadJokes #PodcastEnjoyed the episode?
