27: "Hackers" vs "The Net" (with Kelsey Holmes)

Five years before Y2K, internet paranoia was all the rage in Hollywood. For the next two weeks, we'll be looking back at four critically maligned techno thrillers that failed to reboot the cyberpunk sub-genre. For part one, we're joined by writer Kelsey Holmes to examine the cult classic "Hackers" starring Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Matthew Lillard and Jesse Bradford, as well as the Sandra Bullock "it could happen to you!" thriller "The Net." Did "Hackers" predict Gen-Z fashion? Did "The Net" foresee our internet addictions and the groundbreaking invention of the Dominos Pizza Tracker™? Why isn't Matthew Lillard considered one of the best actors of his generation? More importantly, which "Hackers" cast member eats pussy? TW: Dennis Miller makes his third podcast appearance and we're so very sorry you have to think about him at all this week. "Hackers" is streaming on HBOMax. "The Net" is streaming on "Hulu."
