Cyberpunk Summer is here, and we\u2019re coming in hot with JOHNNY MNEMONIC, the 1995 film directed by Robert Longo and based on the 1981 short story by one of the authors credited with the invention of the cyberpunk genre: William Gibson. It boasts a preposterous cast, including Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Takeshi Kitano, Ice-T, and Henry Rollins. The film, which was made at the time the internet was starting to enter everyday lives, includes a lot of the elements we\u2019ve come to associate with cyberpunk fundamentally, but how does it feel to watch it in 2022 (one year after the events are the movie are set)? Join Anita, Kat, and our special guest\u2014journalist and podcaster Ryan Broderick\u2014as we try to make sense of it all.\n\nNote: Enjoy this episode of the podcast as a video at patreon.com/femfreq or on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/Hl2KzCYDOtA
