Cyberpunk Cinema

Welcome back to CYBERPUNK CINEMA - the definitive dive into the dark future of science fiction. In this week's episode, I will breakdown the criminally overlooked UPGRADE (2018), a fantastic modern blend of cyberpunk and cyber-horror! It was written/directed by Leigh Whannell, and stars the amazing and underrated Logan Marshall-Green. 

I had never seen this movie until a couple of weeks ago, and damn, I was pleasantly surprised and blown away. It was produced by Blumhouse Productions (you know who they are) with a budget of only 3-million, and it looks like a 50-mil production! I notice that it's getting a lot of new buzz on Twitter/X, and I believe Whannell is adapting it into a TV Series next (that would be a perfect medium for this kind of story going forward).

You should all check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Thank you ALL for your support. I see some great numbers rolling in already, and if you keep coming back, I'll keep producing these episodes! Tell your friends, heck, tell your enemies! The more the merrier.

Don't forget to message me at one of the Instagram handles below. I have a huge list of over 200+ cyberpunk titles, but I want to hear from you. I want to know what your favorite cyberpunk film is - you may have suggestions of films I've never heard of, you never know! 

See you next week!

Welcome back to CYBERPUNK CINEMA - the definitive dive into the dark future of science fiction. In this week's episode, I will breakdown STRANGE DAYS (1995),  a certifiable cyberpunk masterpiece. To me, this is definitely in the Top Ten CPUNK! I saw this film in the theater when I was 16, and I absolutely loved it! It was directed by Kathryn Bigelow and co-written/co-produced by James Cameron. This cyberpunk techno-thriller hits all the hallmarks of the genre, and has recently been re-discovered by a newer generation since the film was stuck in DVD/BluRay jail for years, and could not be seen by the public until MAX finally released it recently. Check it out! It's incredible.

Welcome to CYBERPUNK CINEMA - a podcast dedicated to the dark future of science fiction. I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things cyberpunk. Each episode will be dedicated to one film that best represents the ideals, visuals, and sonic disruptions of my favorite science-fiction sub-genre. 

This week's episode will be JOHNNY MNEMONIC (1995). I saw this film in the theater when I was 16. I remember dragging my friends to go see it on opening night. They did not care for the movie, but it didn’t matter, I was totally invested in what I was seeing on the silver screen. My dreams had come true – finally, I was going to witness the spectacle of cyberspace! 

Join me as I take you through the matrix that is CYBERPUNK CINEMA!
