Johnny Mnemonic (1995) [#19 – winter solstice special 2021]
Join Matt and Dave for a winter solstice special with this last chance to explore 2021 via 1995 in 2021. Based on a William Gibson short story and script, this genre defining cyberpunk noir is a prescient foretelling of a global pandemic, information wars, and the internet/metaverse. At the hollow centre is Johnny (Keanu Reeves), a mnemonic courier exposing the fragility of truth and revealing – after psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan – the subject barred from itself.
