Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For August, they are heading to the 90s to watch a bunch of movies try to make sense of these newfangled personal computers in everyone’s homes.

Joel and Andy kick things off with Virtuosity, a Denzel Washington/Russell Crowe precursor to The Matrix that examines what happens when a computer world crosses over into the real world.
