Strange Days (with Joe Lipsett) - Movie Oubliette

What this episode covers

Joe Lipsett, film critic and co-host of Horror Queers, joins us on the eve of the millennium for some Strange Days (1995) with Ralph Fiennes, who saunters about in leather trousers, Juliette Lewis, who wears nothing most of the time, Tom Sizemore, who sports a very unfortunate wig, and Angela Bassett who... well, just kicks ass frankly. It's a cyberpunk Blow Out, with Fiennes' burned out ex-cop unwittingly getting hold of evidence of a politically significant murder that could destroy L.A. – if it weren't a burning hellscape already. Featuring the groundbreaking technology of recording human experiences directly from the cerebral cortex onto Sony MiniDiscs, the film is a hard-hitting techno thriller from Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow, based on a story by her ex-husband James Cameron. But does it stand the test of time, or is it a millennium bug we should just patch? Find out! Follow Joe Lipsett on Twitter, read his columns at Bloody Disgusting and subscribe to Horror Queers now!
