This episode contains: Ben welcomes a special guest host: Flint Lawless. Steven and Devon are off dealing with family illness and work commitments, so you know what that means! Well, we don’t actually talk about video games at all this one (I know, right?).

Future or Now:

The Magic Eye: Remember autostereograms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram)? Stereograms are 2D images that create the illusion of a 3D scene by exploiting the way our eyes perceive depth. "Magic Eye" images are a popular form of autostereogram. Learn how to see Magic Eye images here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdWNYdk-vWY.

As a kid, Ben would spend hours looking at Magic Eye books, and it felt like magic because most everybody else didn’t see them. He was like a wizard. Recently, he came across an article about using Excel of all things to create Magic Eye images (https://divisbyzero.com/2024/11/30/make-a-magic-eye-image-using-excel/) but guess who has two thumbs and doesn’t have Excel? This guy! Turns out there’s an easy to use free online tool for making autostereograms (https://www.easystereogrambuilder.com/). He also found a music video that was a moving stereogram (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AKtp3XHn38). Flint was curious, but completely perplexed because he doesn’t know how to see them yet.

“Book Club”:

Next week: WHERE RABBITS COME FROM, a French animated short film that’s being shopped around for awards this season. The answer will surprise you.

This week: No time for book club: the first two episodes of the new Star Wars show Skeleton Crew is out. It’s good! And we start comparing it to Farscape, Star Trek: Prodigy and One Piece. It’s a sweet Goonies-like mystery. The Republic likes to hide planets for some reason… maybe they’re not exactly the good guys? Flint and Ben discuss the morally gray areas of stories where the “forces of good” make questionable decisions that lead to positive and negative consequences.
