#389 Stephenson's JOHNNY MNEMONIC (1995)

A Quality Interruption

EPISODE #389-- 1995 was a good year for cyberpunk. There was Hackers, Sneakers, Ghost in the Shell, and, of course, JOHNNY MNEMONIC, directed by Robert Longo and staring none-other than John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves. It's a movie that people talk about for a reason. Despite its distinct problems, it still has stuff in it that is worth experiencing. Come with as we untangle this schlock masterpiece.

We also talk about Michael Cimino's HEAVEN'S GATE (1980) on the Criterion Collection, BATTLE ROYALE (2000) which is free all over the place, Jordan Peele's NOPE (2022), and Wes Anderson's ASTEROID CITY (2023), again, which is still in theaters, so go check it out.
