It’s Del Toro Time returns with a deep dive into Steven Spielberg’s haunting 2001 sci-fi fairy tale, A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Originally developed by Stanley Kubrick and completed by Spielberg, this movie mashes up Pinocchio, Frankenstein, and a whole lot of emotional trauma—plus teddy bears and Jude Law as a robot gigolo. What more could you want?

In this episode, we break down the film’s chaotic production history, themes of abandonment, sentient love, del Toro connections, Kubrick’s ghost, and the one robot we’d die for: Teddy.
