Description
In this episode, we are traversing the gritty sensory overload that is the fascinating world of Japanese Cyberpunk with two powerful films from the 1980s, Death Powder (1986) and Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1988). We will be discussing the loss of identity and the new world of flesh when man infuses with metal or metal becomes flesh, as well as touching upon the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in connection with these films.
Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…
