We’ve got bruised shins, sketchy USB drives, and a surprisingly judgmental cat—so you know it’s a classic Chaos Lever episode. This week, Chris walks us through the wonderfully terrible 2015 movie *Blackhat*, a film that tried really hard to be tech-savvy and instead gave us Thor doing cybercrimes. Ned’s never seen it, which is great, because now he gets to be appalled in real time.
Join us as we unravel:
🎬 A plot powered entirely by bad computer graphics
🖥️ Ankle bracelet hacking and thumb drive nonsense
🧠 A hacker who’s apparently too jacked to fail
🐱 A feline who's both off-camera and always judging
There’s also a deep dive into why a nuclear plant *doesn’t* explode in 12 seconds (you're welcome), some shouty FBI negotiating, and one very suspicious biometric thumb drive.
