Man I built my life around this movie. Def in the cult of this cult classic. Great episode.

to me this movie is like the movie clueless or fastimes. the research was taken from a lot of actual hacker cases and the terms were what people actually used (albeit about 10 years prior) and then they used cyberpunk tropes to push the visuals out of the beige machines hacking actually was at the time. Tom is right. the password thing was true then. Character counts were smaller too. the names and references are almost straight out of early william gibson...which I'm sure the people that were interviewed liked. a friend of mine went to alternative school for having virus sourcecode (not the actual viruses) in the 10th grade. it didn't age well but they got a lot of it way right.

Why did he wait to arrest him until the plane has taken off???

Still a great excuse for some conversation! Swaim salutes you, brave Patron.

Awesome episode. It makes complete sense that without nostalgia Michael wouldn't like this episode. I will give him the "I don't know him" point as I was sure a Sonic-loving child of the 90s would have some fondness for Hackers. Swing and a miss! The Pick the Flick tier is such a steal and the guests Small Beans book for them are absurd. Thanks again!
