A cyberpunk media retrospective.

This 1000%. Our podcast will always be political because Cyberpunk is inherently political. IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME. If you don't like it start your own Cybercentrist podcast.
This lost me followers on Twitter, so let’s get it out of the way now:

Shadowrun is political. Because cyberpunk is political. Because Punk is political. Whether or not you want it to be is irrelevant.

Next week we were scheduled to have @spellbookgaming.bsky.social on our show to promote this project, but unfortunately had to cancel. Be sure to check this out and consider backing because the world can always use more cyberpunk.
CROWDFUNDING NOW! Bite the Hand is a cyberpunk TTRPG using Mothership’s Panic Engine to bring a touch of horror to the genre. With dozens of cybernetics and items, the core rulebook contains everything you’ll need to experience tense action at your tables!

As always, it was as much fun to record with these guys as it is to listen to them. And as an added bonus, the latter part of this week's book is decidedly better!
The second half of our recap of The Ten Percent Thief is now up with a fresh intro to cover the big head-line of the past week. Don't blow it by missing this one!

Thanks again @planxconstant.bsky.social for joining us.

New Episode! Part 1 of The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan is ready. Kinda mixed reviews from the panel, but definitely a lot of fun stuff to talk about. Thanks to @planxconstant.bsky.social for the assist!

Sleep Dealer was a surprise with how thoughtful and well-made it is for having such an obviously tiny budget. We hope everyone gives this movie a chance, and also gives this podcast episode a chance.

New Patreon episode for the Cyberpunkins. Inspired by our recent chat about the horrible Parker adaptation Play Dirty, we decided to watch one of the better adaptations: Payback.

Had a little issue with the host so today's episode is up a few hours late. It's here now though so time to listen to your boys sigh and moan through a not-great (but very cyberpunk) anime series!

This week we spend way more time talking about The Net than it probably deserves, but we can't help it. The movie is not good, but it's also hard to hate if you lived through time it was released.

This episode has everything: pink Easter bunny suits, egg drop soup, airbrushed slogan tshirts, plus a giant orgy of cannibalism and violence. Uh, spoilers.

Our new episode is up. Little different this week as the movie we intended to cover was less available than we had hoped. Instead it's an extended intro and @countxer0.bsky.social angrily reviews the new Mark Wahlberg film Play Dirty.

Team Meatbag just bagged themselves a "dragon" so we thought why not give them a lil rest for a few weeks while we check in with Space Patrol? PS: Brutus (aka Colin) refused to speak into his coms "like a peasant" for a lil while there so his voice might sound *slightly* different.

We survived 100 Episodes, so we deserve a little treat. That little treat is the 2 3/4 hour slow, gloomy, and gorgeous Blade Runner 2049. And who else could help us celebrate 100 but a guy who has been there since nearly the beginning, @seanfaustmusic.bsky.social

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.
Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins
There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"
