Episode 638: Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

We conclude Sci-Fi July with a look at Robert Longo's Johnny Mnemonic (1995). The film was based on a story by and adapted by William Gibson and stars Keanu Reeves as the titular Mr. Mnemonic, a data courier with an implant in his cranium. He’s hired by a trio of scientists who overload his hard drive with the cure for a disease of the future.
Duane Swierczynski and Dahlia Schweitzer join Mike to discuss the film while director Robert Longo dishes about the behind-the-scenes struggle to get the picture made.
