## Show notes

I’m about ten movies into a project that started with a conversation about AI. Now there’s a website that sorts you into your apocalypse house. This is what happens when my ADHD gets access to building tools.

It began with Jake and his friend Max, both in their mid-twenties, trying to figure out their path in a changing world. We talked about the futures movies had imagined and whether we’d want to live in any of them. That conversation became **Apocalypse Optional**, a science-fiction film and book club where you watch something together and keep talking after the credits.

In this episode, I revisit *Star Trek IV*, *A New Hope*, and the *Matrix* series, and explore what this particular rabbit hole gave me. There’s some fun with the movies, a few uncomfortable questions about power and choice, and a personal look at how AI helped me turn a passing idea into something worth sharing.

If you’ve ever gotten absorbed in an interest and wondered whether anything useful would come of it, come spend an evening with me.
