This week Sean Faust is back to help us dissect Tron: Legacy, and for possibly the first time ever on this podcast we have a house divided. Some of the hosts loved the movie, and some didn't care for it at all.  You won't know who is who unless you listen!  How do you like that clickbait, internet rubes?! 

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.

On our episode, Doug tries Googling 'Ceiling Fan Dream Interpretation', Jamie busts out a new character dubbed 'Film Critic Jamie', and we both agree that this film is nothing but a cautionary tale regarding the importance of communicating with your partner. Be sure your cowboy hat matches the rest of your getup, get your photo-doctorin' sharpies ready, and join us as we make light of Jamie's most depressing birthday pick ever and discuss Blood Simple!

On our episode, Jamie reveals that her rock group would sing mostly candy-related tunes, Doug wonders if Debbie Harry just happened to wander onto set one afternoon as a big Family Ties fan, and we both agree that at this point in their careers Justine was out acting her brother and Billie was out Bette Midler-ing Seth Green. Lock your 'sex van', call next in that volleyball game, and join us as we review the holy grail of the podcast that is Satisfaction!

See, sometimes we cover a film that is both a good time AND a great movie...

On our episode, Doug takes a moment to give some advice to listeners who rent Airbnb's, Jamie accidentally pitches a podcast where she and Doug just watch Best of the Best every day and discuss it, and neither of us can think if the composer Danny Elfman and it was just too embarrassingly good to be cut out. Put on your best set of 'grandma drapes', tell your relative to stop sending pictures of your home to strangers, and join us as just keep pushing off Satisfaction by discussing the absolute delight that is Beetlejuice!

On our latest holiday episode, Doug has quite the 'hot take' on Buzzfeed articles about Star Trek predictions, Jamie imagines why she may have written the phrase 'edible aliens' in her notes, and we avoid even talking about this cartoon for about the first 20 minutes of the podcast. Get drunk with your robo-coworkers, repair that dog-shaped hole in the wall, and join us as we scrape the bottom on the animated holiday special barrel and discuss A Jetson Christmas Carol!

On our latest episode, Jamie shuts the movie off after the second lengthy sex scene, Doug brings out ALL the accents, and we both rejoice in closing out Bo Derek-cember. Water down your honey, wear a cup while bullfighting (in fact, don't fight a bull at all), and join us as we try and figure out (for the last time) this nation's odd obsession with Bo Derek and discuss Bolero!

On our latest episode, Doug is floored when it's revealed that there are witches in this movie, Jamie wonders why Bo Derek is scream-delivering every line in the film, and we both hope that this is not an accurate depiction of the afterlife. Admire Hemingway (admire his writing, that is) get those suppositories ready, and join us as we fast forward to the final Bo Derek/John Derek collaboration and discuss Ghosts Can't Do It!

On our latest episode, Jamie's unsure if Bo Derek debases herself in this movie more or less than in Ghost's Can't Do It, Doug's pretty sure it was illegal (even in 1910) to kill a man and hang his decapitated head on your wall, and we both would have preferred to have watched a movie about Tarzan and Jane just hangin' with monkeys. Paint your entire body white, seductively eat a banana, and join us as we kick off Bo Derek-cember talking about Tarzan the Ape Man!

Hello listeners! I know you're all excited about Bo Derek-cember but we figured we'd start releasing some of our Patreon content to the masses and what better way to start than with this gem of a Holiday Special we recorded back in 2017. You will get a new Animated Holiday Special at the end of the month but why not enjoy this delight before the difficult times (we're assuming) with the Bo Derek movies we've got coming up this month.

On our latest episode, Doug tells a tale of his first time watching this film and may stumble upon some childhood trauma, Jamie finds that her Vietnamese accent is just as good (or bad) as the actress in this film, and we both have to deal with unpleasant reminders of Chuck Norris. Grab an ice cold Coca-Cola, stir in a massive amount of HGH, and join us as celebrate Slysgiving once again with our good buddy John and talk about Rambo: First Blood Part II!

This week in physical media, Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to talk up a pair of Larry McMurtry tales. Shirley MacLaine and Nicolas Cage are in two of this week’s selections and one of them together. Erik gets one of his titles from the Why-Is-This-Not-On-Blu-Ray series and Peter looks back at the time Nicolas Roeg went to Showtime with Mimi Rogers and Bryan Brown. A crowd-pleasing underdog tale gets a director’s cut in 4K as does a Billy Wilder film with Peter Graves in prison (not a Turkish one.) There is stop-motion Christmas for the kids and a stage adaptation of Miyazaki. And sometimes you are being followed whether it be by a giant truck or Ron Silver.

On our latest episode, Jamie realizes that she and Ally Sheedy might not have quite the same taste in men, Doug wants movie simply about changing grades in high school and maybe touches a bit on the dad's obsession with butter, and we both aren't smart enough to unravel the plot of this movie made for children. Put on your white gloves and beret, chew your boss's gum, and join us as discuss a film that is somehow nearly two hours long, WarGames!

In this episode we discuss dogs and farm animals, when Uber Eats goes horribly wrong, how we're still technically pre-law/pre pre-elite/pre-med, how non-conformists are actually the biggest conformists of all, having a gymnastics wedding, when  you still think you're a "super hot female" but then you jump, hating most in judges what we see in ourselves, the truth behind Poot Lovato, getting the wind knocked out of you, the bra strap controversy that rocked the nation, how following the rules is actually the ultimate act of rebellion and SO MUCH MORE!!!

H.O c´est la rentrée, 

Pour démarrer cette saison 2 c'est le Farci qui nous recoit et nous propose de regarder "The big Lebowski"

Le Sire, Shodji et Gerard y réagissent à chaud 

bonne écoute

Note: Jamie's mic died so her sound quality isn't the best. This should bring long time listeners back to the early days of the show.

On our latest episode, Doug finally understands one of the funniest scenes in Hot Shots, Jamie is frightened by a nipple early on in the film, and we both admit that you can try and be professional around an '89 Jeff Bridges and an '89 Michelle Pfeiffer but you just know that won't last. Also, Jennifer Tilly's here to liven up a few scenes. Spray your hair on, be careful around those 16-year-olds, and join us as we watch our second 'movie for grown ups in a row' as we discuss The Fabulous Baker Boys!
