    There Will Come Soft Rains: Bradbury's Haunting Vision of a World Without Us
    2025/04/23

    In this week's episode, we dive into one of Ray Bradbury's iconic dystopian stories. Set in 2026, after a nuclear catastrophe, all that remains is a self-operating house. The house continues its programmed routine, unaware of the world around it. Written in 1950, Bradbury delivers a powerful warning about the dangers of over-reliance on technology and our potential to destroy ourselves through its misuse.

Not only was this 1988 film a groundbreaking moment for animation, but its complex storytelling and themes have also served as inspirations for many beloved entertainment genres.
