About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the film Hackers and its influence on the movie industry, along with a reading of Danny Devito's reddit hate mail.

Gotta be real with you on this one, folks. The majority of this hour-long audio file is just a deep dive into Hackers (1995) and its impact on the movie industry for the 20 years that followed. I write this with no shame attached, just a fair warning that this is the kind of podcast deleted scenes you're getting this week. Also Matt reads out some of the most unhinged Danny Devito reddit hate mail imaginable.
