In a world where nerds aren't cool... where computers play chess and their technicians debug them... can this ragtag group of superstar programmers defeat the secret Russian plot to overthrow the world while simultaneously avoid triggering the AI Singularity? Can an algorithm predict which hotel room you'll sleep in days in the future? What happens if swingers want to fuck? Will a rogue neighboring Human Potential Movement group upset the natural order and crown a computer the grandmaster of all chess? We'll find out on this special episode of the Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off Podcast. With a bit of help from one of the stars of the movie (Patrick Riester) we turn back the clock all the way to a fake 1980 to look at Andrew Bujalski's 2013 mumblecore mockumentary "Computer Chess.""Computer Chess" can be viewed on Plex for free or purchased directly from the creator at https://www.computerchessmovie.com/0:00:00 - There Has Been a Coup0:00:57 - History with Chess and Chess on Computers0:13:52 - Synopsis of "Computer Chess"1:11:51 - Analysis of "Computer Chess"1:16:12 - Interview with Patrick Riester

What happens when a door knob is in the center of the door? Is it more appropriate to abandon a baby at a fire station or in a subway locker? Can a man sometimes be large?

These important questions will be answered as the Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off podcast gets lost in the endlessly puzzling corridors of Exit 8, the 2025 film adaptation of the 2023 psychological horror video game. We spoil significant portions of both the game and the film, so if you want to play or watch either version with fresh eyes, consider doing so before listening to this episode.

Light up a blunt and spinout your Mustang because we're going back to Silent Hill, baby.

The Spin-Offs return to discuss the film Return to Silent Hill, a strange mishmash of Silent Hill concepts and original ideas from OG movie writer/director Christophe Gans. Euan is a fan of the game series and Daniel is a complete newcomer to the franchise, so we get both perspectives on this dreamlike monstrosity of a film. Declan didn't join us as they are lost in the fog at the moment.
