Welcome to the 10kposts Film Club, a series where we watch movies that tried to predict what internet culture would be like, and how much they got right or wrong.

Joining us this week are Rob and Jamie from @PodcastingisPraxis. This is the second part of our review of THE NET,  a 1995 movie starring Sandra Bullock and Jeremy Northam, in which the world's most incurious hacker is chased by Britain's worst assassin, in an extremely long film about viruses, floppy disks and, of course "the mainframe".  In this part, we talk about the second part of the film, where Angela discovers more about a shady surveillance tech company's sinister plot to control the world's utilities through a Trojan Horse anti-virus software - thanks to the help of an extremely creepy therapist, overfamiliar friends in AOL chatrooms, and a unique understanding of how to hide in office cubicles. It's bizarre, stupid and we were all very thankful when the movie finished!
