Joan Is Awful: Black Mirror episode is every striking actor’s worst nightmare

“A sticking point of the near-inevitable Sag-Aftra strike is the potential that AI could soon render all screen actors obsolete. A union member this week told Deadline: ‘Actors see Black Mirror’s Joan Is Awful as a documentary of the future, with their likenesses sold off and used any way producers and studios want. We want a solid pathway. The studios countered with ‘trust us’ – we don’t.’ ...

“If a studio has the kit, not to mention the balls, to deepfake Tom Hanks into a movie he didn’t agree to star in, then it has the potential to upend the entire industry as we know it. It’s one thing to have your work taken from you, but it’s another to have your entire likeness swiped.

“The issue is already creeping in from the peripheries. The latest Indiana Jones movie makes extensive use of de-ageing technology, made by grabbing every available image of Harrison Ford 40 years ago and feeding it into an algorithm. Peter Cushing has been semi-convincingly brought back to life for Star Wars prequels, something he is unlikely to have given permission for unless the Disney execs are particularly skilled at the ouija board. ITV’s recent sketch show Deep Fake Neighbour Wars took millions of images of Tom Holland and Nicki Minaj, and slapped them across the faces of young performers so adeptly that it would be very easy to be fooled into thinking that you were watching the real celebrities in action.

“Unsurprisingly, Sag-Aftra members want this sort of thing to be regulated, asking for their new labour contract to include terms about when AI likenesses can be used, how to protect against misuse, and how much money they can expect from having their likenesses used by AI.”

Cunk on Britain

Because, fuck it, I can't sleep and binged all five episodes of this thing and now apparently this Tumblr is a blog where I review every piece of media my shitstain attention-span let me consume in its entirety.

I'd been aware of the character Philomena Cunk for a while due to YouTube Shorts showing me these bizarre interview snippets where a woman (Diane Morgan, who is excellent) plays the embodiment of Dunning-Kruger syndrome made flesh, a character so confidently-wrong and willing to display it in the form of stupid questions, I couldn't not watch any new one the almighty Algorithm™ flung my way.

So I'd been meaning to check out more, in context, in the form of the show. Which I have now, due to the aforementioned insomnia.

All five episodes play out in the 'mockumentary' format, and OH LAWDY is it well-observed and executed with finesse. The flat and boring tone of the presenter (Cunk herself), the visual vocabulary, the pacing of regular documentary programming all sends the genre up in a manner so tiringly-familiar it becomes hilarious.

Not that it doesn't have the help of some amazing writing, by Charlie Brooker; best-known for his hand-drawn comic strips advertising CeX back when they were a tiny London backstreet shop.

Or Black Mirror. That's a thing he also did. I guess.

So, that's the how, but the what? A brief, ish, history of Great Britain. As told by the most amusingly-dimwitted and wilfully-ignorant presenter, who I hasten to remind the one reader I probably have, is fictional; via a series of archive footage, historic stills, helicopter shots of Cunk on hills, and interviews with experts in their field trying their very best to remain composed whilst answering absurdly-silly questions -- it's brilliant, and funny, and clever.

So. I guess I'll be checking out the follow-up Cunk on Earth the next time I can't sleep then, eh?

5/5
