Love, Death & Robots is a groundbreaking animated anthology series from Netflix that blends science fiction, fantasy, horror, and dark comedy into a visually stunning and emotionally charged collection of short stories. Created by Tim Miller and produced by David Fincher, each episode stands alone with its own unique animation style, tone, and narrative, ranging from the deeply philosophical to the wickedly absurd. Whether exploring dystopian futures, sentient machines, or the complexity of human nature, Love, Death & Robots pushes the boundaries of storytelling and animation alike, making it a must-watch for fans of speculative fiction.
Join us for fun and friendly discussion about the nerdiest topics!
How it Works
We kick things off with a fun, guided group discussion where everyone’s invited to share hot takes, wild theories, critiques, and praise for the film. Our host will keep the conversation flowing for about an hour, with lively back-and-forth.
After that, stick around for casual, open mingling with no moderation. Whether you're in the mood to debate character arcs or just geek out over your favorite scene, there’s plenty of time to connect, chat, and nerd out together.
