Willem Dafoe and Christopher Walken in a movie written by William Gibson?  It has to be amazing, right?  There's no way that trio wouldn't come up with a banger.  Well, unfortunately all that glitters is not necessarily gold as New Rose Hotel doesn't really deliver on anything.  A good short story and a few good performances do not, a movie, make.  We watched it, however, and we are going to give our many complaints, and maybe a little faint praise.  We also pad time with a whole mess of recommendos.

The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
