The High Tech Low Life Podcast: A Cyberpunk Media Retrospective

The High Tech Low Life podcast is a review of cyberpunk media throughout the ages. Books, movies, TV, and even games and music are all on the table. The show takes a deep dive into the subject of each episode, relates it to modern life, and just for fun, gives it a rating based a number of criteria. The hosts are lifelong fans of the genre, and hope to revisit some beloved properties, and maybe shine some light on a few that slipped through the cracks.

    Episode 75 - Robocop part 2

    A movie so good it could not be contained in one episode.  We are back with part 2 of our Robocop recap, or Rebocap if you will.  More violence, more satire, more hilarity, more good stuff.  The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.

    Episode 74 - Robocop Part 1

    This week we check one of the big one's off the list, Paul Verhoeven's 1987 ultra-violent dystopian comedy classic:  Robocop.  And as it turns out, we may have underestimated the film, enough that once we got recording, we just couldn't keep it to one episode.  The movie has everything, and did a remarkable job at predicting the future of policing, tech, and entertainment.  Here's part 1!

In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.

    Episode 73 - Top Recommendos of 2024

    The holidays set us back on doing a proper recap of a cyberpunk property, but we still found time to record and recap of our favorite media of 2024.  We will get back to the cyber and the punk next week when we finally cover Robocop, but for now please indulge us singing the praises of our favorite movies, music, and TV of the last year.

  4. Episode 72 - Gremlins 2

    2024-12-18

    Episode 72 - Gremlins 2

    Gremlins 2 is a tale of imbecilic corporate power run amok, the broken technology they covet, and the chaos that ensues as a result of it all. Only a small community of like-minded laborers coming together and combining their skills can end what can only be described as humanity's greatest threat: The Gremlins. Also, there's a whole lot of violent slapsticky humor and 80's pop culture references.  The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media.

    Episode 71 - Spicy City

    Heads up, lots of dystopia to talk this week so if you don't like that part of the show, you're gonna be skipping deep into this one.  After the current events have been discussed we dive into what is, unfortunately, not as exciting a property as we had hoped.  Spicy city is a fun premise that ultimately fails to deliver on anything it promises.   The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media.

    Episode 70 - Minority Report

    Tom Cruise makes his High Tech Low Life debut this week as we cover 2002's Minority Report.  This is a pretty good film about a cop who stops crimes before they happen, and whether or not that's actually pretty messed up when you think about it.  Also, is it cool to keep slaves in a perpetual bath and submit them to horrific images for their entire lives?  I dunno probably not.  Lets not do that in our dystopian future, what do ya say?

    Episode 69 - Hardwired Part 2

    We are back to finish up our recap of the classic cyberpunk novel: Hardwired by Walter John Williams.  We got gun fights, we got dog fights, we got throat weasels, we got a plucky band of DIY revolutionaries taking on the capitalist class in air, land and space!  What more could you ask for at a time like this?  Once again Geoff from Astronomica serves as our trusted wing man.

    Episode 68 - Hardwired Part 1

    This week we are recapping the incredible cyberpunk novel by Walter John Williams: Hardwired.  Though it may have flown under our radar, its influence can be seen throughout the entire cyberpunk genre, and it's a crime that we haven't gotten to it sooner.  Seeing as it is the first week in November, 2024, we also do some incredibly dystopian election talk, the entirety of which is available on our patreon (the free tier, no money required).  Thanks to Geoff from the Astronomica podcast for joining us on this one!
