episode 7: #007 - Movie Review - Sneakers
This week, we hack into the star-studded 1992 movie Sneakers, a tale of hacking, cyber security, crime, cryptography, and driving a truck while visually impaired. Did this movie predict the future of the information age? Is it both quaint & timeless at the same time? Would this movie make a good remake or TV show? Were answering machines ever really that big? It’s not easy what we just did, but our voice is our passport, as we discuss…too many secrets…of Sneakers.
Note: There's a mention early in this installment of it being our 6th episode. But, since recording that, we've done some...sneaking...of our own and worked in a bonus episode last week, which is why Sneakers is now #007. The bonus episode was a casual conversation about recent TV shows, books, D&D, and other entertainment. We released it off-cycle and may do more bonus episodes in the future. So, be on the lookout for additional episodes some weeks, forgive us as we get used to a new numbering system, and send us feedback or give us a review if you like what we do.
