TorTR #713 - Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t AI

In Trick or Treat Radio's 713th episode, hosts Monster Zero, Michael Ravenshadow, and Johnny Wolfenstein dive into the 2026 sci-fi adventure-comedy *Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die*, directed by Gore Verbinski. The film follows a man from the future who recruits a ragtag group of misfit patrons to stop a rogue artificial intelligence threatening humanity. The hosts praise the film’s sharp satire of AI, social media addiction, and technological desensitization, drawing parallels to *The Matrix*, *Groundhog’s Day*, and *Black Mirror*. They highlight its inventive blend of action, dark humor, and emotional depth, particularly in character backstories involving cloned children and digital grief. Despite some dated CGI and a few tonal shifts, the trio unanimously declare it a 'treat'—a wildly entertaining, timely cautionary tale that’s both hilarious and deeply unsettling. The episode also features reactions to trailers for *The Furious*, *The End of Oak Street*, and *Itch*, plus tributes to comic artist Sam Keith and discussions on digital addiction, AI regulation, and the real-world implications of the film’s themes. The hosts wrap with a preview of next week’s film, *Send Help* by Sam Raimi.
