Episode 150 - Hip-Mo-Tized!
from Flickers from the Cave Hosted by Mike, Marty and Julie
The movies this time were picked by Julie and both feature stories where reality becomes unreliable. We start off with 1981's Looker from writer-director Michael Crichton and starring the fantastic Albert Finney. It is a great sci-fi story that looks at a world where advertisers strive to present perfect images to help them sell products, and they use computers and doctored images to fool the populace...what a weird and highly unlikely situation THAT is. We follow that up with 1994's Brainscan from director John Flynn and starring young John Connor...I mean, Edward Furlong. This story is also somewhat sci-fi but leans heavily into horror as it shows us a disaffected youth who is sucked into a "game" which starts bleeding into real life...or does it. These were both entertaining and had plenty of elements that would make them worth your time.
