Jason Snell and Brian Hamilton with Lex Friedman, Monty Ashley, Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar.

Fascism for Algernon

Put on your eye phones and jack in to the cyberscape! Rocket Surgery comes for 1996’s cyberpunk epic “Lawnmower Man 2.” (Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the original “Lawnmower Man,” half of us didn’t either.) Matt Frewer is Max Headrooming it up! A bunch of urchins populate a rainy L.A. that’s straight out of “Blade Runner,” but, you know—cheaper. There’s a brilliant doctor in charge of virtual-reality research, and also there’s Jennifer! And everything in the future is hackable! Jason Snell with Monty Ashley, Tony Sindelar and Annette Wierstra.
