23_L0WL1F3_&_CYBERPUNK_LIBRARIAN_super_mario_bros_the_motion_picture.mov_part_two

The Cyberpunk Librarian returns, because he's a champ and totally not because we blackmailed him. We're finishing our insanely long discussion of Super Mario Bros, as well as some of what happened behind the scenes, and how that affected the finished film. Check out Dan's site! https://cyberpunklibrarian.com/

22_L0WL1F3_&_CYBERPUNK_LIBRARIAN_super_mario_bros_the_motion_picture.mov_part_one

This week, WE'RE BACK, and this time we have special guest Cyberpunk Librarian Daniel Messer along for the ride. We're discussing the oft-maligned but endlessly fascinating disasterpiece: Super Mario Bros. The Motion Picture. Listen along in realtime as the gang slowly loses their minds.

This one is insane. We talk about hacked pipelines, an app Amazon wants its employees to use (but not really), employment and its opposite, when jobs go wrong, rockets falling all willy-nilly, and more.

This episode, Scum discusses an Arundhati Roy article about the hellish situations in India as COVID spirals beyond any hope of containment, Shadowlink gives us a rundown of new releases this month, and Coinops starts talking about local energy weapons but then ends up talking about The KLF a whole bunch. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/apr/28/crime-against-humanity-arundhati-roy-india-covid-catastrophe

19_L0WL1F3_strange_days.mov

This episode, the trio takes on the underrated 1995 film Strange Days. It's all about that pre-millennium tension, a couple of racist-ass cops, and a SQUID you wear on your head.

18_L0WL1F3_solid_state_vapor

This episode, Coinops does a deep dive into the catty little slap-fight going on between QuantumScape, a solid-state battery developer, and Scorpion Capital, a short-selling group that released a report about how all this solid-state talk might be horseshit. Meanwhile, Shadowlink and Scum perform heroically, especially after Coinops' line goes dead for a few minutes due to a suspiciously timed power surge.

17_L0WL1F3_adventures_in_security_theatre.txt

This week, Shadowlink gets us up to speed on some books and music that that sound legitimately cool, and then it all goes downhill from there. Scum gets into military applications for augmented reality, Coinops links Battlestar Galactica to current problems with TCP/IP vulnerabilities, and no one lets out more than one guttural howl.

16_L0WL1F3_cyberpunkdreams_with_rob_chant

This week, the gang meets up with author and video game developer Rob Chant to discuss his influences as well as his upcoming game: "cyberpunkdreams." There will be tangents. Guest vocals from Coinops' pooch, Aesop. Also, we've launched a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/neondystopia And check out Rob's game! https://cyberpunkdreams.com/

15_L0WL1F3_mega_city_fast_food_dick_boat

This week, we gots a hostage satellite, we gots a Dredd-adjacent tv show, we gots evil corporations fighting against a living wage, and we gots a big-ass boat that jacked up the Suez Canal and then won over our hearts.

14_L0WL1F3_9th_console_generation_at_6_months

The party digs into the state of the 9th console generation 6 months after they were released. This is the most accurate assessment you will find anywhere, on any podcast.
