Boot up your simstim decks, jack in to the Matrix grid, and run a search for "Pro/Con Episode 62." You'll find that your favorite couple of Gentlemen Losers, Lewis and Nick, have thoroughly analyzed "Johnny Mnemonic" (1995). Jam-packed with incredible sets, weirdo 90's imagery, and prescient CGI graphics better suited to a basic cable late-night heartburn commercial, this cyberpunk classic has been marinating in its anachronisms for two and a half decades, and has developed a fuller, richer flavor for it.
