VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

Retro: Hackers

Season 5, Ep. 45
•

This one is a blast from the past! From the early days of VGMP when we were still recording sharing one very cheap microphone in Jamie's noisy front room. Chill out with this freshly polished re-release as Jamie and Rory discuss 90s technothriller Hackers. A dive into hacking subculture that appears to have been made by somebody as far removed from said subculture as possible. Rory has a soft spot for this one but will Jamie see its charms?
