FFR 208: Johnny Mnemonic with Ryan Broderick

from Feminist Frequency Radio · host Feminist Frequency

Cyberpunk Summer is here, and we’re coming in hot with JOHNNY MNEMONIC, the 1995 film directed by Robert Longo and based on the 1981 short story by one of the authors credited with the invention of the cyberpunk genre: William Gibson. It boasts a preposterous cast, including Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Takeshi Kitano, Ice-T, and Henry Rollins. The film, which was made at the time the internet was starting to enter everyday lives, includes a lot of the elements we’ve come to associate with cyberpunk fundamentally, but how does it feel to watch it in 2022 (one year after the events are the movie are set)? Join Anita, Kat, and our special guest—journalist and podcaster Ryan Broderick—as we try to make sense of it all.Note: Enjoy this episode of the podcast as a video at patreon.com/femfreq or on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/Hl2KzCYDOtA Time Stamps:43:19 - What’s your Freq Out?Kat on the reboot of Queer as FolkAnita on seeing Hannah Gadsby liveRyan on the fan reactions to the latest season of The BoysFind Ryan:https://twitter.com/broderickNewsletter: garbageday.emailPodcast: thecontentmines.comFind Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq (every Thursday at 6:30pm PT)
