Show Notes
This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, in honor of the 1995 film’s 1337-week anniversary, we talked about the finest movie about technology ever made, Hackers.
Topics, roughly:
- Hackers
- Mister The Plague
- What David Bowie and Angelina Jolie have in common
- Razor & Blade
- The glory of Matthew Lillard
- Counterculture
- Queer (sub)text
- Focal characters
- Jay’s sequel pitch
In retrospect, we should have talked way more about Phreak, played amazingly by Renoly Santiago. Sorry, Renoly! That’s what we get for doing Hawk Talk without our usual outlines.
