We're joined by Die Hard on a Blank's Phillip Gawthorne and Liam Billingham to discuss one of Schwarzenegger's best performances, psychic mutants, and the pinnacle of practical effects. Isn't that worth a measly 300 credits? See you at the party.

Motorcycles. Telekinesis. Hypersonic sounds? It's AKIRA, the first anime of our Cyberpunk series, and if we're going to cover it properly, we're going to have to transcend. Here to help invoke the uncontrollable power of Katsuhiro Otomo's future noir classic is our old friend and returning guest, Stephen Hilger!

Welcome to Brazil! We're on the hunt for eye of the ducks in the ducts from Terry Gilliam's sci-fi masterpiece. Is it cyberpunk? Steam punk? Who cares. With Monty Python slapstick, a mustachioed Robert de Niro, and an electric samurai, we had to cover it. Fill out your paperwork and listen in.

Greetings programs. We continue our journey through cyberspace today with Steven Lisberger's TRON! Was one of the most groundbreaking digital effects films drawn by hand? Enter the Grid with us to uncover the ambition, tedium, and digital frisbees that made TRON a cyberpunk touchstone.

Wake up, time to die! It’s the miniseries premiere(!!) of 20XX, our descent into the neon-tinted cultural movement known as Cyberpunk. We’re so excited for this series to lift off with one of the most influential science fiction films in American history, Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER!

The new year is here, and our Cyberpunk miniseries is about to begin! But before that, we have some truly staggering movies to celebrate from 2023. And so our annual challenge faces us yet again: can Adam and Dom select only 5 movies to highlight? Probably not! But you'll have to listen to find out! A big hearty thanks to everyone helped make 2023 another amazing year for our podcast. Big news to come for 2024!

Hail to the king, baby. Today we close the Necronomicon once and for all…that is, until they make a new EVIL DEAD movie. Also, new miniseries announcement!!!

A new EVIL DEAD movie? From this year?! Yes, we are shooting up the high rise of the latest vision for Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell's iconic series, and this time...there's no cabin. Or woods!! It's the last film of our NECRONOMICON miniseries, and we're sad to see it go. Stay tuned next week for our series outro, and announcement for what's coming next!
