Scary Thoughts #62 - Child's Play (2019)
from Scary Thoughts
2019's Child's Play reboot took some heat from die-hard fans, but it's fairly successful as a Black Mirror episode. It replaces the supernatural with the technological, which allows it to address modern anxieties about connected devices and AI. We talk about Shoshana Zuboff's book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, how children play in the YouTube age, and how the 80s action figure boom might have influenced media.
