They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!
TV & Film
This week Daniel returns (!) to join Lee as they welcome friend and fellow podcaster Bo Ransdell, in order to have a quite meaty conversation about Phil Alden Robinson's "Sneakers" (1992), starring Robert Redford & Ben Kingsley. Things covered: old school hacking talk, and what the film gets right and wrong about it; the wonderful ensemble cast elevating the material; the politics behind the film; the comparisons to the 1970s paranoid thrillers this film draws from; the still-unmade tv series, and if that would even be a good idea to do, especially today. Also, Bo gets to play The Movie God Game, and Lee and Bo talk about what they've watched lately. Listen to this one by planting a bug, spying with a camera, or patching into a satellite. We don't care how you listen, just that you do!
