It's episode 183, and our memories are filled with every f*ck-up we've ever made.
Upgrade (2018) tells the story of Grey, a mechanic who has his spine severed in a brutal mugging, in which his wife is killed. Now paralysed from the neck down, Grey is offered the chance to walk again when a shady tech wizard offers him a computer chip which can control his body. STEM is implanted, and Grey can walk again - but was it a bad idea to hand over control of his body to an artificial intelligence? (...Yes)
We discuss the high risk, low reward of installing a shotgun in your arm; the importance of installing alarms in your opium den; and the best time to play your nanobot trump card.
All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: I cannot allow us to be killed.
Next week, it's French Extremism / Revenge season with Martyrs (2008).
