Mute is a beautiful mess of a film. So much potential, so many misplays. If I was a sports guy I'd make an comparison to recent football games that have occurred because that last sentence really sounded like it would make a good sports analogy. Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with the lingo of the grid iron, much like Duncan Jones is unfamiliar with navigating the complicated subject of child sex abuse. The difference between us, is that I'm not going to try. He, on the other hand, swings for the fences and misses. Oh look, a sports analogy! Anyway.

Content Warning: Discussion about the film's implied sexual abuse to children.

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.
