  Sci-fi, Spielberg and tonal confusion abound today; Joe & Adam dig into the 2001 Philip K Dick book adaptation of the same name… it’s not called Philip K Dick, it’s called Minority Report.  They chat sci-fi world building, other blockbusters Spielberg should have made and the logistics of rolling out the Pre-cog Crime initiative across the US given there are only three of them.
