  • Summary

  • In M3GAN (2022), Gemma isn’t just a brilliant roboticist—she’s a cautionary tale wrapped in silicone and code, the villain and Final Girl of her own story. When she takes in her orphaned niece Cady, Gemma does what any emotionally unavailable tech genius might: she outsources parenting to an AI. This week, we break down Gemma’s evolution from career-obsessed creator to reluctant protector, her role in M3GAN’s rise, and how the film critiques both grief avoidance, certain styles of parenting, AI ethics, and the capitalistic obsession with innovation at any cost.

    Spoiler Warning: This episode contains M3GAN spoilers—and maybe a firmware update you didn’t agree to.
