Ep. 103: Movies That Predicted The Future

From Minority Report to Her, Hollywood has a way of turning fiction into uncanny reality. In this mind-bending episode of My Five Cents, SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius are joined by futurist, hacker-turned-farmer, and former broadcaster Jesse Hirsch to unpack how movies have eerily predicted the world we’re living in now.

Jesse brings his unique lens—sharpened by decades of exploring tech, society, and the strange dance between innovation and control—to explore how science fiction has forecasted surveillance, artificial intelligence, virtual relationships, and even the collapse of societal norms.

Is Hollywood psychic, or are we just living in someone else's screenplay? What role do these films play in shaping the very future they claim to predict? And how does a life spent farming tie back to humanity’s most radical dreams?

Tune in as we blend nostalgia, critical thinking, and a dash of dystopia—because sometimes, the truth is stranger (and better produced) than fiction.
