William Gibson is considered a founding father of the cyberpunk genre, but does he deserve the reputation? In episode 221, Luke & James read one of Gibson's earliest stories set in the world of his "Sprawl" trilogy, then watch the adaptation directed by Robert Longo and compare the two. Topics include sharp dressed men in business suits, the Mandela Effect, a cross-dagger wielding Dolph Lundgren, Keanu Reeves's extensive cyberpunk résumé, and a cyberspace dolphin sequence to remember. They finish by casting their vote on which was better: the short story or the movie!

Autumn de Wilde's adaptation of one of Jane Austen's timeless novels is a visual feast that isn't afraid to let things get loud in a way seldom seen in regency romance. In episode 220, Luke & James debate just how punk rock this movie is, dial in the color saturation, shred on the pianoforte, worry about Anya Taylor-Joy's nosebleeds, and find the source of that ghastly draft. They finish by voting on which was ultimately better: the book or the movie!

Jane Austen wrote Emma Woodhouse to be "a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like," but did that end up being the case? In episode 219, Luke & James return to the regency era with carriage rides, questions of sensibility, and misunderstandings galore. They end by asking the question: By novel's end, are things as happy as they might seem?

In episode 215, Luke & James talk about the intersection of art and culture, moments where the writers were able to expand on an already brilliant plot, and what performance brought them to tears. Join them next week for their discussion of the last five episodes!
