Dystopia update
Monday, November 4th, 6pm - 7pm
on Techtonic with Mark Hurst

Chatbots are now running rampant - appearing in new-model cars - as we're being told to "be nice to chatbots."

All these and more in Mark's dystopia update.

LIVE from Los Angeles: What a weekend of films we have. Something for everyone! First up is LA COCINA, a film that takes us inside the immigrant experience of living and working at a large tourist restaurant in Manhattan. The film stars Rooney Mara (The Social Network) and on the show with us tonight is Director Alonso Ruizpalacios. Then we head off in a very different direction with the crazy comedy THE GUTTER about an accidental bowling prodigy who utilizes his new found skill to save a bowling alley from going under. With us tonight is Actor D'Arcy Carden (The Good Place) and Directors Yassir & Isaiah Lester. How about a quirky romantic comedy between a young Musical Theatre actress and the Monster that lives under her bed? Then YOUR MONSTER will be right up your alley and tonight we have Director Caroline Lindy with us. Suppose you're in the mood for a character driven road trip dramedy, then I'll suggest A REAL PAIN starring Kieran Culkin (Succession) and Jesse Eisenberg (*also THE Social Network) who also wrote and directed it. If a true story and harrowing family adventure is what you're seeking, then LOST ON A MOUNTAIN IN MAINE, for you. Documentary lovers be sure to turn that dial to Disney+ to catch the story of the greatest and most prolific film scorers of our lifetime in MUSIC BY JOHN WILLIAMS. If you're in the mood for a live performance and you're a Star Wars fan of a certain age might I suggest THE EMPIRE STRIPS BACK: A Burlesque Parody currently running at The Montalban Theater in Hollywood. If you're seeking something a bit more angst filled there's AMERICAN IDIOT, downtown at the Mark Taper Forum with the music of Green Day and a cast of both hearing and deaf performers.
