Description
Journey with us through a cascade of 1s and Os to the glory days of hacking into the system. Representing the arthouse, it's Darren Aronofsky’s gritty black-and-white number theory thriller Pi (1998). And representing the mainstream, it’s 1999’s super smash cyberpunk hit The Matrix, directed by the Wachowski sisters. Oh a simpler time! When the teenagers of the world bopped their gelled butt cuts to the sounds of White Zombie and Prodigy. As Wordsworth said of the French Revolution "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive. But to be young was very heaven!” But which move will win and enter the canon? And which will lose and enter the trash canon and Brett and Joe can never watch it again for the rest of their lives?? Listen to find out!
