In this episode of Movie Lovers Unite, John is joined by Jason from It's Not That Bad Podcast to revisit the 1995 cult classic Hackers.
From rollerblades and dial-up internet to outrageous hacking sequences and a young Angelina Jolie, Hackers has become one of the most beloved cult films of the '90s. But does it still hold up today, or is it simply a nostalgic time capsule of internet culture?
Join us as we break down the performances, the soundtrack, the style, the over-the-top depiction of hacking, and why this film continues to have such a dedicated fanbase nearly three decades later.
