Hackers - 25th Anniversary Re-Release
from Bald Move Pulp · host Bald Move
It has been 25 years since Zero Cool and Acid Burn went head to head in the action-hacking thriller, Hackers and 2 years since we recorded our podcast covering the movie so we figured "why not release it again?" Max commissioned one of his beloved films from high school (shout out to the Class of '95!), Hackers. Directed by Iain Softley and starring Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie, Hackers is a mostly ridiculous look into mid-90s hacker culture that's core plot is a rehash of Office Space, which is to say it's a rehash of Superman III. We discuss the film as contemporary computer nerds and as grown men looking back at the naivety of early hacker culture and the weird prescience the move shows.
