About this listen

What’s up, humans? This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Chad and Eugene to break down the 2025 sci-fi horror film Companion.

We explore the existential and ethical questions the film raises: Are sentient machines deserving of rights? What defines humanity and self-awareness? We also praise standout performances, such as Sophie Thatcher’s evolution from naive companion to self-aware survivor, and Jack Quaid’s portrayal of a manipulative partner.

We make comparisons to Ex Machina, M3GAN, and Black Mirror, and discuss the film’s major twists. Wrapping up, we, each give a Good, Bad, and Ugly, along with our final scoring of the film. We also weigh in on whether Companion adds anything new to the AI horror conversation or just reboots familiar fears with a glossy finish.

Thank you, everyone, for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠@so_you_like_horror⁠⁠⁠ or email us directly at soyoulikehorror@gmail.com. We're open to all conversations, suggestions, topics, and criticisms.
