Show Notes

In this episode, we examine Stephen Spielberg's, "Minority Report" (starring friend of the show Tom Cruise) as a launching point for a discussion of free will and determinism. We work our way through Producer's Notes (8:39) and the Synopsis (21:09) before setting up the free will discussion with the Philosopher's Corner (36:20) segment. Alain goes extremely deep, Craig works in multiple references to the Princess Bride, and we find out Alain and Chris share the same middle name.
