We'll get together, have a few lifts.

Speaker 7 (01:12):

Speaker 5 (01:15):
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted

Hey, where are the white women at Gippikay?

Speaker 6 (02:04):
Motherfucker?

Speaker 9 (02:11):
It's over, Johnny, it's over.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
All right, all right, looks like we have started streaming.
And that's a good thing because I'm actually excited to
do this movie. I've actually been working on getting this
one done for a while, and it just so happens
that this movie was released just on September fifteenth of
nineteen ninety five. So this is going to be a

(02:49):
good movie. I am David Richards, and this is Hollywood Hangout,
and we are talking hackers. That's right, nineteen ninety five's hackers.
Here we go. Let's go ahead and pop that bad
boy up there, and there we go, Hackers nineteen ninety five.
Great movie, great cast.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
A little.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
A little weird on the cyberpunk side, but definitely a
really good movie. And I'm actually excited to talk about
this once again. I'm not going to do the whole
scene by scene and this and that. I'm not doing
that anymore. I'm actually enjoying the way I'm doing it now.
Trust me, there's not one part of this movie I
would not like to play for all of you. Seriously,

(03:35):
I absolutely adore and love this movie. I can't even
tell you how many times I've watched this movie, to
be honest with you, but this movie is just one
of the greater movies that I've seen out there. Now,
this movie wasn't exactly a blockbuster when it came to

(03:56):
the movie theaters. Really it only did seven point six million,
And really, critics did not like this movie, which, in
my opinion, that should make you like it more. When
critics don't like it, that means you should like it.
Here's some comparison for you. The Net with Sandra Bullet
came out the same year fifty point seven million gross.

(04:18):
So there's a little thing right there. Now, Just remember, though,
hackers even you know, twenty some odd years later, this
movie is still talked about, still talked about, still known
as a cult classic, and still just a great fucking
movie to watch. It still holds up. I watched it
last night and I watched it again today. I mean

(04:39):
not just because I'm talking about it, but it's a
great movie. So I did go ahead, and I'm gonna
go ahead and give you guys. We're gonna go ahead,
and of course, like I usually do, we'll start with
the actors and then we'll go ahead and go from
there a little bit. But first thing I want to
do is I do want to get to the actors,

(05:01):
and we will definitely talk about them. And while I'm
getting the actors pulled up, everybody, why don't you guys
check out Teddy Graham's and Anthony over there on the
Weekly Detour. Go ahead and jump on Spotify. Check those
guys out over there, and of course you got the
high marks, you can check them out on YouTube. Also
just go to Metal mitt Podcast Network and they're all

(05:21):
right over there. So we're gonna get to some of
the stuff right now with the actors. The first I'm
gonna do a two for on this one. I'm gonna
get you a two for one on this one. Kind
of I'm gonna pull up this one right here. This
is Angelina Jolie and Johnny Johnny Lee Murphy. I believe

(05:43):
it is his name, Johnny Lee Miller. Excuse me now,
Johnny Lee Miller. Let's start right there with Johnny Lee Miller.
He is actually from England. He was actually in the
movie train Spotting. I don't know if you guys remember
that movie, but he was in Train Spotting. All so
done a little bit more his. For some reason, they're

(06:10):
doing fireworks outside my house. I apologize for that. I
hope that's fireworks and not a bazooka anyway. Excuse me.
Oh my poor daughter is freaking out right now, folks.
Oh that was loud. I hope they're not going to
do that all night. They do that every now and then.

(06:33):
Johnny Lee Miller is the grandson of Bernard Lee. Bernard
Lee played em in a lot of those old school
Bond movies. And I'm talking like the Roger Moore, Sean Connery,
like those old school Bond movies. That was his grandfather.
But Johnny Lee is known for a lot, a lot

(06:54):
of things. He was actually recently in the what do
you call that? Elementary? He was just in that show Elementary.
He's right now in The Crown. He's been in a
lot of things, even the Second Train Spotting T two
Train Spotting. But he's done a lot of things done

(07:14):
even lent his voice to a few things. And Angelina Jolie,
I mean, my gosh, what can I even say about
Angelina Jolie? Absolute beauty, a gorgeous, gorgeous woman. I would
say one of the movies I love that she's in
is the one with Denzel Washington. Jesus, what is that

(07:39):
movie she's in? I'll find it while I'm going down
here anyway. But she's been obviously a ton of stuff.
The Bone Collector, that's the one I was thinking of,
gone in sixty seconds. She was Lara Croft and Lara
Croft tomb Raider, and she's done a ton of stuff too.
Now you might be asking, why would he bring up
these two pictures together, why, why, why why? Well, there

(08:03):
is a reason I brought these two pictures up together.
Just after this film was made. They got married about
six months later. They obviously met on the set of
this movie. They were both new to Hollywood at the time.

(08:23):
Obviously both would become very famous, but they were both
pretty new to Hollywood at the time, and just kind of,
you know, in the next year, nineteen ninety six, they
were married. That was it. There were some pretty weird
things rumored by the New York Times that black rubber

(08:45):
pants and a white shirt with the groom's name written
in her blood is what she wore. But who knows.
She's always been a little weird at her and Billy
Bob had a little weird relationship to Billy Bob Thornton.
They did get divorced though, in nineteen ninety nine, but
off of this movie, they they did end up being
married for well, not if about four years, about four

(09:11):
years they were married for at the time. So we
can talk a little bit though about these two now,
although they were basically playing high school students, all the
kids in this movie. We can go ahead and go
through the rest of the cast while we're doing this.
But Angelina Jolie, I'll tell you a few things real quick.
She played Kate Libby in this movie. Johnny played Dave Murphy,

(09:34):
Kate Libby or actually Angelina and Joe Lee basically says
that this movie is kind of what type cast her into.
A tough woman with guns, the kind who wear no
bra and a little tank top. That's so sure, if

(09:54):
that's really what this part of the movie was about,
it really was. That really wasn't what was going on
in this movie, to be honest with you. There were
not many guns. The only gun I think she held
in the whole movie was a flair gun. But that
was about it. But there you go, right there, we've

(10:15):
got these two once again. We're married for a little while.
And Angelina and Jolie. One more little thing about her. Obviously,
she plays Kate Libby, acid burn and she's a hacker.
It just happens to be really hot. And now Catherine
Heigel was actually offered this role first and ended up

(10:38):
doing Under Siege two. I don't know if you guys
ever saw that that was another Steven Sigot movie. Of course,
liv Tyler, Hillary Swank, Heather Graham all were basically you know,
in the role for this movie. Yet it was Angelina
Jolie that ended up taking the movie. So I think

(10:58):
it was really good. I think she actually had a
great look for this movie. When you kind of go
in and they talk about the other girls that were
ready to do this movie, you kind of, I don't know,
angiin and Joe Lee just really had a great look
for this movie. I mean she had that kind of
she had that cyberpunk beauty look. All the other girls,

(11:19):
I think you'd have ended up looking more goth or
something like that. So I think they made a great
choice with with her in this in this role. And
him Johnny Lee Miller too. I really think they made
a great choice with him too. I think the whole
cast all in all was very well done for this movie.
But next up we're gonna talk about character who played Joey.

(11:42):
This is Jesse Bradford. So we got Jesse Bradford right here.
Let me get rid of these two. Jesse Bradford definitely
known for a few things. Bring it on, swim fan
presumed dinner Innocent with Harrison Ford done about fifty five things.

(12:04):
He was recently did in one episode of the Magnum
p I series. But he was in Shooter, the television
series that came out. It started off on Netflix, then
it came over, so you know, he did do seventeen
episodes of that and he played Harris Downey. So then
we're gonna keep going a little bit, not gonna spend

(12:24):
too much time on a lot of these people. Then
we're gonna go and we're going right to Matthew Lillard.
I mean, you guys want to talk about some range.
He plays serial killer in this movie, a great, great
character I think in this movie. Now Cereal is kind

(12:49):
of a weird little thing. Now most likely Cereal is
kind of paying homage to John Draper, not not that
John Draper. John Draper was a basically a computer programmer
who used the alias Captain Crunch. More than just Captain Crunch.

(13:11):
Actually he used Captain crunch crunch Man. He was a
computer programmer and he did phone freaking. Now, phone freaking
is in this movie, and we what the hell, we
can just talk about it right now. There's a part
in the movie where Joey, not Joey but Freak, which
we'll get to in a minute. Actually, his couple down

(13:33):
down on my list actually does this. He actually freaks
the phone in two ways. First ways with the recorder
where you record the tone of the coins going in
the payphone and then you play the soundback. Actually worked.
It was actually a workable hack back in those days.

(13:54):
And then there was another one where he where when
Freak was in jail, he tapped the top of the
old phone line and got the operator to make another
phone call. So that is phone freaking. That is one
one of the things that this guy was actually known for. Now,
there's been some scandals with this guy in pretty much

(14:16):
everywhere he's gone. I think he's just one of those
absolute mad, brilliant guys. He was part of the Autodesk,
which is an AutoCAD program, and he's been but I
mean he's had in the work related job problems as

(14:37):
just you know, doing stupid stuff and stealing securities and
exchange commission. But he also in twenty seventeen had a
few little allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. But anyway, that
was way back in the day, and that's probably what
that was paying homage to, was Captain Crunch right there.

(14:58):
So there's that. And did I have any more on him?
I don't think I had any more on Cereal. Now,
that was about it on Cereal right there by himself.
I'll go ahead and talk a little more about Matthew
Lillard though, because now, sorry, my video froze here. I
don't know why my video froze here, but hopefully it

(15:20):
pops back on. Give me one sec let me double check.
Everything should be fine. Now, let me see everything's back
to being fine. Sorry about the video freezing, folks, it's
I don't know. I'm doing the best I can. What
do you want me to do? I'm doing the best
I can. Here. Let me get rid of a couple
of these pictures and we will go right back to

(15:41):
Matthew Lillard real quick. Trying to keep the obs a
little trim down here. All right, back to Matthew Lillard.
Here we go. We got Matthew Lillard here Yep, Shaggy, Yeah,
Shaggy amazing. Guy's really been in a lot of very,
very very good movies. He was an SLC punk back

(16:02):
in the day. He's done all the Scooby Doos. Again,
he's Shaggy in all the Scooby Doos, but he was.
He did nine episodes of Robot Chicken. He even in
the TV series. He did the voices of a few
of the on the Scooby Doo fifty two episodes of that,
fifty episodes of Good Girls Bosh, which is a show

(16:24):
I'm looking to watch. I've heard it's a very good
cop show. Y'all know I love me some cop shows.
Don't worry. There's an NYPD Blue tie in in this,
of course there is. But Matthew Lillard's done a ton
of things, been a voice and a ton of things,
and just a really, really really it just seems like
a really down to earth dude. And I believe that's

(16:49):
him in Thirteen Ghosts, another movie that was on my
favorites list a while back. And no, it's not him,
I get no, Yeah, that is him and thirteen Ghosts.
No it's not that's not Matthew Lillard. I'm sorry. It's
the other guy. I mixed these guys up all the time,

(17:11):
but he wasn't something Scooby Doo and the Curse of
the Thirteenth Ghost. So it's close, it's very very close.
But that is Matthew Lillard right there. Let's go ahead
and move along. Here, We're gonna get right to Lawrence Mason.
Everybody there, he is right there. Lawrence Mason, another one

(17:32):
known for some pretty pretty pretty good good stuff out there.
He was in prison Break, he was in the City
of Lies, The Lincoln Lawyer, The Blacklist, was on a
couple episodes of that and done a lot of things. Now,
this of course would be the NYPD Blue tie in.
He was actually in two episodes, one in nineteen ninety
seven one late in two thousand and three, so he

(17:56):
played two different characters. But there's my little NYP Blue
Tini and I gotta do it, folks, It's just part
of me. But he was also in Homicide, Life on
the Street, another great show, New York Undercover Man talking
some great shows tonight. But he played Lord Nikon in
this in this movie, just another one of the Hacker

(18:17):
bunch that they all kind of roll with. In this movie,
and then we've got freak. That's right, the phantom freak
that is Renoli Santiago. Here he is right there for
you guys. You guys might remember him from Dangerous Minds.
He was Raoul, the one that the one that Michelle

(18:40):
Pfeiffer was actually it took to dinner and everything and
paid some special attention to. He was in con Air,
he was in Daylight, great stallone movie, not great decent
stallone movie. Honestly, he has not done a ton of things,
but he's worked with some pretty big actors in some
of these things. He's also done Law and Order, criminal Intent,

(19:02):
but I mean goes back to you know, CBS School
Break special, you know in nineteen ninety five, so, you know,
but done some big things. But like I said, has
worked with some very big actors. When it comes to
some of the movies, he's done just not a ton
of movies. Then we get to another kind of the

(19:23):
opposite of that, Fisher Stevens. Folks, Fisher Stevens seeing this
guy in a few things. He might even look familiar
to you guys from a little show called Friends. He
was in an episode of Friends, might have been two episodes,
but I know it was at least one. I know
he was in in one episode of Friends, but has
done so much more. Another just amazingly talented actor. Blacklist

(19:48):
he did fifteen episodes. Really kind of one of the
last things he's done, right there was that right there,
the Blacklist show. But he was in Mario Brothers. He
was in Short Circuit two, Short Circuit the first one.
Definitely has been in some great things. He was in
sing To was one of the additional voices. Been on

(20:13):
Law and Order SVU twice, different lawyer both times. No
one lawyer one one really bad guy was on the show.
Numbers doesn't surprise me. He's a very intelligent guy, but
you know, obviously in real life. But excellent, excellent actor here.

(20:35):
Just can't say enough about them. But like I said,
was definitely in a couple episodes of Friends. Now we
also have Alberta Watson, known for La fem Nikita. Nikita
was the last thing she did back in twenty twelve.
We unfortunately lost her back in March twenty first, twenty fifteen.
We pulled that picture up for you guys. Right here

(20:57):
there you go. That is her right there. Like I said,
known for a few things Canadian actor but actress, but
definitely been in a few a few good movies, The
Art of Wou Chasing Kine, a lot of TV movies
and TV series she was in, but her acting career

(21:22):
goes all the way back to the nineteen late seventies
early eighties Hill Street Blues Murder and Space Buck James
if you remember that one. There's an old show. But
there you go with that. Now, a couple guys that
don't make huge. These guys aren't really huge when it

(21:45):
comes to what's gonna What am I saying here? These
guys aren't in the movie very much, but I did
want to show them anyway. This is Darren Lee. Darrenly
is one of the actors in this movie. Plays. There's
two character it's called Razor and Blade in this movie.
Tell you there's not much really to know about this guy.

(22:05):
He has not done that many movies, thirteen credits to
his name, but I mean, he was in Hackers, he
was in Chicago, he was in the movie Sisters. Everyone says,
I love you. The guy's been in a good amount
of movies. And also Peter Kim played one of the uh,

(22:27):
one of the other guys in this movie. We're gonna
get to him right now. Actually, here's Peter Kim. If
you're looking at this picture on YouTube, you can actually
see I put the picture of him beside a book
he wrote, the Hacker Playbook two Practical Guide to Penetration Testing.

(22:47):
He actually writes these books to help cybersecurity. This is
the second one, obviously, it says the Playbook two. So
this is the second, you know, version of it. And
that's pretty damn cool if you ask me. But there
you go, right there. Actually, I got one picture. I
got a load up of Razor and Blade because I
want to show you what they looked like. Give me

(23:09):
one second here. I don't know why I left it
on the outside here, but here it is. Give me
one second. We'll go right up to it. Okay, let
me transition that foot over there we go. This is
what Razor and Blade looked like in the movie h
Just a couple of like, just a couple of cyberpunks,

(23:34):
you know, Asian guys, just you know, the crazy hackers.
They got a crazy room, they just got crazy music
going on. But this is what these two guys looked
like in this movie. They were pretty cool though. They
definitely helped out Date and all the guys throughout the
throughout the movie. So all right, we're gonna go ahead

(23:55):
and drop this picture off and we're gonna get to
Lorraine brockh Now, this show has talked about Lorraine Brocco
a few times Goodfellas, Lorain Brocco from Goodfellas. Folks, there
she is right there. That's right, Karen from Goodfellas. That
is who she played. We did a good Fella's review

(24:19):
on this show. But she's been in more. She's been
in the Basketball Diary, She's been in the Sopranos. She
was the doctor and the Sopranos. She's actually in Pinocchio.
She's the voice this one this year. That just came
out right now, she's Sophia. She's the voice of Sophia.

(24:39):
She's been in Blue Blood's Rossolian Isles. I mean, we
could just keep going. Sixty two credits to her name,
but probably most known for playing Karen in Goodfellas and
also for Sopranos. She was in seventy one episodes as
that doctor, uh, doctor Jennifer Melfie. So sorry, folks needed
a drink there. So, but like I said, probably may

(25:03):
know thing you would know her for it would definitely
be that. Now we've got the FBI agent here. Gotta
have an FBI agent in these movies, and we do.
We have Wendell Pears, I know, not the best picture
of Wendell best I could get on short notice. Done
a few things. Been in a lot of HBO dramas

(25:25):
The Wire, He was in the Money Pit. He was
in the movie Selma but one hundred and ten to
his name. He was in the Eureka series My Wife
Loves that show. Also was in ten episodes of Chicago
p D. He was Alderman. Ray Price wasn't a very
good guy in that show in that show. Was in

(25:45):
thirty six episodes of Suits as Robert Zaye. This guy
has definitely been in a lot of things, but start
out doing a lot of HBO shows. Was even in
the back in the twenty thirteen fourteen The Michael J.
Fox Show. He was in twenty two episodes of that.
So when he, you know, gets into his showy, they
definitely keep keep him around for a while. Now I

(26:08):
got two more here as far as actors, that's right,
Mark Anthony, Yes, I need to know, I need to know.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that, I really did.
But yes, Mark Anthony also in this movie. Doesn't have

(26:31):
a very huge part in this movie, but he's in
it a little bit. He's one of the young agents. Yeah,
I would call them FBI agents, that's what they are
in this movie. And then another person who's in this
movie who has a medium part, not a huge part,
is Penn Gillette. This is a newer picture of Penn Gilette,

(26:55):
obviously of Penn and Teller fame magicians, comedian been. He's
actually been in a few movies Pendulate, Now Mark Anthony,
I'll go real quick back to him and on Fire
Mask of Zorro. But he was the leader of the
kod in the Substitute that I will never forget. But
he was. But he's been in a good amount of

(27:17):
movies also. Pendulet though been in a decent amount of
movies himself, most of them his But he was in
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He was the car
Carnival Barker. He's had some little parts in a few
little movies seventy one credits actually as far as an actor.
But like I said, a few of those are going

(27:37):
to be to himself, but he was in Sharknado three
most recently. Actually, he was in the Scooby Doo movie too.
He was a voice in that movie also with Matthew Lillard.
Most recently Young Sheldon the TV series. He was in
there as Penn so Oh himself, but usually plays himself.

(27:58):
So there you go. He's in this movie a good
amount also. So what we can do now, I do
have some clips that I'm going to play in just
a little while here as we go through the movie
and I start talking a little bit about it. But
I've also got something I really wanted to share with

(28:18):
you guys that I kind of fell into on the internet. Now,
these are some behind the scenes polaroids of the actors
and actresses as they're going through just trying to figure
out what would look best on camera, trying to figure
out what, you know, how this was all gonna work.
So this is one of them I have. I got

(28:40):
about twenty four of these. Actually, I'm just gonna flip
through them. I got them in a little slide show
for you. So this, of course is Johnny Lee Miller
Dave Murphy right there in the bathrobe, and you can
see it, says slippers on way in. I can't even
read that off way out, but anyway, there's the first

(29:03):
one right there. We go on here and we've got
this one and you can see this as Kate or
Engine to Joe Lee. This was the outfit she wore
at the end of the movie when they went on
their kind of date. It even says date night right there.
So there you go with that one. Another one of that.
It says pockets are approximately one in one quarter ridge

(29:25):
below the sash, So this was another picture they were
kind of just working with it. It's amazing how they
do this with just I mean like pockets. And you'll
see how like detailed it gets as we keep going
through these pictures. There you go, black shoes. There you go,
there's your phantom freak right there with his black shoes

(29:46):
on in the old leopard print, which this was the
first outfare he was wearing in school when they first
when we first meet him. Then we go on another
one to Kate or Engine to Joe Lee. Day thirteen.
I don't know if that means that's how many pictures
there were, but it has one hundred and twenty eight
and twenty nine. That's a lot that's a big number.

(30:09):
But there you go right there, And here's another one.
A lot of pictures of Kate. I think that they
pullaroid guy had a little crush. I'm not sure I
blame him. There you go. I this is the jacket
she wore in the dream that she had when she

(30:30):
was dreaming about date. Actually Dade was dreaming about her.
You also get a little left breast in there, uncovered
left breast of her. Here's a little one of just
Dade just being kind of crazy, keeping on his jacket
throughout the whole scene. Another one of Dade Murphy. I
like that beeper, folks, How you like that beeper? That

(30:51):
pink beeper. This was a day fifteen and they're showing
the boots and you can't see the boots though. There
you go, once again, the freak. This was at the party.
This is what he was wearing, says right there. Now,
look this is how detail. No watch, no watch, just

(31:12):
as simple as something as a watch. Crazy. I think
that's crazy. Here's cereal. This must be seeing sixty one
and sixty two by the sixty one slash sixty or
Comma sixty two. Sorry, folks, I needed that. Another one
of Cereal. There he is right there, long black boots.

(31:34):
Syria was a crazy character in this movie. As you're
seeing if you're on YouTube watching this, there's the long
black boots for you. Rollerblades too, as you see the rollerblades.
This movie was big in a rollerblade. And I'll get
into that in just a little while. Here here's Lord
Nikon Day twenty twenty one slash twenty and twenty one.
I guess another one of Nikon here now see it

(31:58):
says risk guard's coat and backpack. Whoever wrote these? Not
right out of shot on the floor on the phone booth.
I don't see. I don't see a phone booth. And
here you go. Right here, there's Peter Kim right there
and his shoes and his gorgeous skyline socks, the skyline

(32:18):
of New York City. Another one of Nikon day seventeen eighteen,
little pink jacket and little shirt. And another one of Cereal.
Now if you remember this movie or this scene, this
is when they were just bringing brought in by the
FBI and he was outside disguised as he's screaming hacked
the planet got the old New York add on hat

(32:42):
and sunglasses added and you can see on top of
these there's a lot of pictures of Engine and Joel
Lake up top on the you know, because these are
just polaroids that someone took pictures of. So here we go.
Another one of Joey right there. Keep going here. Another
one of the Freak seen two fifty four, and this

(33:06):
is Kate. Maybe she's got the computer disc in her
like tucked in her pants, and there's a pager on
her left leg. I'm not sure if she was simulating
that she was under house arrest. I guess that would
make some sense. So let's keep going with this, folks.
Almost done here. This outfit I don't remember her wearing.

(33:28):
It's like a stormtrooper outfit almost, but my god, seeing
eighty three, I don't remember her wearing this, but I
guess she did. And another one of Dade Murphy and
kind of like a like a zoot suits, like a
cyberpunk zoot suit. I would call this. He's got like
zoot suit pants on, you know, the like gray and

(33:49):
black stripes and like a checkered shirt. Very weird, very weird.
Another one of Dad Murphy Johnny Lee Miller seen fifty three,
Day six and that's it, folks. That was it. But
I wanted to share those with you, guys. I thought
it was pretty cool that they were on there and
just wanted to share those with you. So all right now,

(34:14):
as you can see right in the movie hackers, as
you can tell right behind me here in the movie hackers,
pretty cool stuff in this movie. Like, like I said,
it's all about obviously, the movie is about hackers. What
they do is one of them, Joey. First of all,
they're all like nameless, they're all trying to make a

(34:35):
name for themselves. They're all nameless. They need a name.
And Joey accidentally accidentally what am I suddenly from New York,
Joey accidentally goes in and hacks something big and they
don't know it until later in the movie. Not only
did he hack something big, but Fisher Stevens had something
hidden in a garbage file which most people would think

(34:58):
is just a useless file, which it pretty much should
be kind of a useless file, but it's not obviously
in this little situation here. So now what we're gonna
do here is now I'm gonna keep going. Actually, so
we go through there and once they find out it's
a file. What's on the file. They also find out

(35:19):
that Fisher Stevens character the plague put in a virus
and it was him because he was trying to cover
up that he was embezzling from the company. With him
and Lorraine Brocco, we're both trying to cover up the
whole thing. So we're gonna go through. That wasn't my phone.
Oh my wife's phone's in here. So anyway, gonna go through.

(35:42):
Like I said, I've got a few things that we're
gonna go ahead and get into. As I kind of
go through the some of the facts about the movie,
I'm gonna go right to the top here now again,
like I was saying while back, they were playing high
school students. Johnny Lee Miller was twenty three, Angelina and

(36:03):
Joelie was twenty, Renouli Santiago Freak was twenty one, Lillard
Cereal was twenty four. The only one that fit the
bill was Joey Jesse Bradford was only sixteen when he
filmed this movie. Now, this was actually at filmed at
a high school. It was filmed. That's Douyvessant High School

(36:26):
in Manhattan. One of the few elite exclusive schools for
students gifted in math, science and computers, and they most
of the students you saw were real students. Now the pools,
there is a pool. Those of you who've seen this
movie completely understanding where I'm going here, there is a pool.

(36:50):
But it's not located on the on the roof. It's
located on the first floor. Now, few things they did.
Jesse Lee Miller, excuse me, and a few other of
the cast and characters, and even some of the directors
and a few others actually went to hacking conventions. The

(37:13):
film's director and most of the cast members went to
New York twenty six hundred meeting, which was basically a
monthly hangout for the local hackers, and they just observed
and talked to the real hackers. So there you go.
But you know, Jesse Bradford was actually going to be

(37:35):
Dade Murphy, believe it or not. But when the directors
saw the two, they switched the parts and eventually they
did this whole thing. And another person that was actually
up for that Dade Murphy role or a roll doesn't
say Dave Murphy, but a role in the movie was
Edward Norton. How different would that have been if Edward

(37:57):
Norton was in this movie? Very different, I would say. Now,
at the beginning of this movie, there's an incident where
Dade Dade is on trial a very young date due
to a virus that he released that crash fifteen hundred
and seven computers, including Wall Street. This was actually similar

(38:17):
to a real life incident that happened in nineteen eighty eight.
It actually did the same thing. It was known as
the Robert Morris worm, and basically it was more destructive
than that. It was actually two thousand computers, six thousand
Eunix machines were infected. Damages between a one hundred thousand
to ten million is what really happened. But anyway, let's

(38:41):
go ahead. I'm gonna go ahead and get the first
clip playing. If you'll give me just a sec. We'll
go ahead and get those clips loaded up. Let me
just get them playing here, sorry, folks, All right, here's
gonna be the first clip right now, and this is
gonna be.

Speaker 10 (39:31):
The look it up.

Speaker 11 (39:43):
The defendant, Dade Murphy, who calls himself zero Cool, has
repeatedly committed criminal acts of a malicious nature. This defendant
possesses a superior intelligence, which he uses to a destructive
and antisocial end. His computer virus crashed one thousand, five

(40:08):
hundred and seven systems, including Wall Street Trading Systems, single
handedly causing a seven point drop in the New York
stock market.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
Dade Murphy, I hereby find your family forty five thousand.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Dollars sentence you to probation out of what.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
You are forbidden to own or operate a computer or
touchtown telephone until the day of your eighteenth birthday.

Speaker 6 (40:37):
Okay, No, you're not hearing that at all. You actually
weren't even hearing me for a second there. Okay, I'm sorry, folks.
It looks like after that last clip, I had my mic.
Looks like I had my mic on mute after that
last clip. But I apologize for that. Give me one secon.
I'll back up a little bit. Basically, you guys were

(40:57):
just listening to me talking.

Speaker 12 (40:58):
Now.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
This whole plot actually he resembles a little bit of
Superman three. I don't think you guys heard any of this,
and I apologize Superman three in this movie. We In
Superman three, we have Richard Pryor playing a hacker who
writes a program to embezzle small amounts of money over time,

(41:19):
Will crew Millions writes a virus to cover up what
he did. And that's really where Superman three kind of
is very similar to this movie. So it's a little weird.
It's a little odd, but they definitely do have some

(41:39):
similarities to each other. And like I said, I'm sorry,
you guys just had to sit there and listen to
me talk and move my hands around and watch my
lips move with no sound at all. But I don't
know why that that was not having sound. That this
should have definitely had some sound, and it did have sound.
I'll tell you what we can do. If you'll give

(42:00):
me one second, we can take this out of here.
I don't need to play the scene. If I go
right here, I can just play the actual clip. Give
me one second. I will play the hackers manifesto when
I find it. Okay, here, it is right here, we'll
play it right off here.

Speaker 13 (42:20):
This is our world now, the world of the Electron
and the Switch, the beauty of the Bond. We exist
without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. You wage wars, murder,
cheat lighter usn't try to make us believe it's for
our own good. Yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am
a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. I am

(42:45):
a hacker, and this is my manifesto. Huh right, manifesto.
You may stop me, but you can't stop us. All
that's cool.

Speaker 8 (42:58):
Cool?

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, cool, you think it's cool, it's cool.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
It's not cool. Guy says it's commy bullshit. That's his line,
it's commy bullshit. Sorry, folks, I still haven't kicked this
cough either. Anyway, let's keep going here, as we're just
kind of going through the movie now. As I was saying,

(43:25):
that manifesto that we were gonna play is a real manifesto.
Once again, the gentleman's name was Lloyd Blankenship. This was
in the eighties. When this came out nineteen eighty six.
It was actually a gentleman, Lloyd Blancanship's handle on the
computer was the mentor. And this was published in Frack

(43:45):
magazine in nineteen eighty six. So now we've got a
character in here. Cereal's real name in this movie is
Emmanuel Goldstein. Now, Emmanuel Goldstein is character in George Orwell's
novel nineteen eighty four. Also the pen name of the

(44:05):
publisher of twenty six hundred The Hacker Quarterly. And really
it's also mentioned in this movie right in the beginning,
when Cereal is pulling out all these books for day
to like, guess what, you know, what all these books are?

(44:28):
He actually pulls you know, he's mentioned nineteen eighty four
in that scene, so it's not only mentioned, but obviously
there's something to that right there. Now, the computer sequences
in this movie are a little they're really good, but
they weren't just out of computer graphics. Actually, Ian Softly,

(44:48):
the director, thought that computer graphics alone can sometimes lend
a more flat and sterile image rather than what they
were doing. They did more conventional methods of motion. Basically,
they were small models on rotoscopes, which is mainly a
lot of the stuff you were seeing. Let me see

(45:10):
something here.

Speaker 12 (45:10):
I got.

Speaker 6 (45:12):
Some I got a couple of things I can kind
of pull up on here. I didn't really load up
any of those gifts, but I can go ahead and
load one up for you guys, give me a second here,
We'll just go ahead and pull one up while we're
sitting here. Because a lot of them that I had
on there were kind of like the scenes from as
the you know, it was going through the whole thing.

(45:33):
So here we go. We'll place this one up here
real quick. There it is right there. Oh, it's just
still shot. Isn't that interesting? All right, let's remove it.
Let's put up another one. You guys didn't even get
to see that, I don't think, so that's just fine
with me. Let's try one more. I'm gonna try one more. Here.
Here we go. This one's got some motion to it.

(45:53):
Put that right there, transition it over and you'll see,
you know, you can kind of see where he had
the great things going on there, but probably not the best,
you know, way to show you right there, but you
can see how we had the good transitions going on there.
So anyway, we'll keep going. But again you can just
watch this movie and see that for yourself. But anyway,

(46:17):
let's keep rolling on this bad boy right here, we
can drop that screen out of there. And anyway, so anyway,
the pool on the roof prank I had talked about
a little while ago. Basically the roof, well, the pools
on the roof is what they told the new students. Now,
basically this was a joke that people used to call

(46:38):
the sixth floor pool. They used to actually do this
to kids. Building didn't have a pool on the roof obviously,
But let's go ahead and play the clip of the
pool on the roof.

Speaker 14 (46:53):
Yeah, the transfer pars, it's a roatively straightforward question.

Speaker 11 (47:07):
Do you speak English?

Speaker 6 (47:08):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (47:09):
You wanted?

Speaker 14 (47:10):
I wanted transfer forms? Can't m are you coming?

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Does you ever mess?

Speaker 10 (47:36):
Do there in the cafeteria?

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Stay that?

Speaker 1 (47:39):
H late?

Speaker 10 (47:41):
Cool?

Speaker 3 (47:46):
What's your name?

Speaker 10 (47:47):
Okay? Okay, look at you.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
It's your class? My class? You mean I'm I'm not
in your class.

Speaker 14 (47:56):
No, you're not in my class.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Any time? Hey you low?

Speaker 10 (48:03):
Yeah, I'm about the pool.

Speaker 14 (48:05):
Okay, cool, Yeah, there's an Olympic sized swimming pool up
on the roof.

Speaker 10 (48:13):
Take the stairs of her.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Yeah, sure, thanks, close the door.

Speaker 10 (48:33):
No pool, you have a chancer parse?

Speaker 11 (49:20):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (49:25):
I love the cut scene where it shows him just
murdering the guy like about to murder a woman, just
grabbing her and choking. I don't know I would never
do that, but I just think it's a good, good
shot of the movie. But have no fear of folks.
Dade gets his revenge, and let's go ahead and play
that now now again, folks, I'm sorry, I'm messing up tonight.

(49:47):
I'm really not having a great night. I I think
I have a heard you. Be honest with you, I'm
having some pain. Ah, some pain. So I'm actually in
pain now, but this is helping me just not think
about it. I'd rather talk about movies all night than

(50:07):
talk about my pain. So let's talk about Day's revenge
on Kate Libby.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (50:46):
Oh? My way was going on?

Speaker 10 (51:08):
Oh on the roofs must heart a week?

Speaker 6 (51:25):
Great revenge right there for for a hacker. That's some
good revenge right there. I always thought that was a
pretty cool little clip, little scene in the movie right there.
And of course, freaked all he wanted to see was
some he was basically treating as a wet wet T
shirt contest. So a little bit after this, like I said,
Joey goes in and he gets busted. All right, they

(51:46):
don't really believe him.

Speaker 12 (51:47):
They don't really believe.

Speaker 6 (51:48):
That Joey got busted. Now, Joey again hacked into a
company called Ellington, which they always talk about something in
this thing in this uh, they keep talking about something
in this movie called the Gibson. So you know, it's
just kind of a kind of a thing. Now they're
paying homage to the cyberpunk author William Gibson. Now, William

(52:09):
Gibson actually invented the term cyberspace in nineteen eighty two
for a book called Neuromancer. Now it is, so that's
all of it right there. And he also definitely was
a big influence on the cyberpunk world. So this is

(52:29):
why they're calling it the Gibson baby. And I guess
the guy used to do some actual like real hacks
and stuff. So anyway, we're we're gonna keep going a
little bit through this. Now we're gonna go And it's
like I said, Joey gets busted. They don't believe him
because he hacked into this company and he took a
garbage file, which garbage. You would think it was garbage,

(52:51):
it's not, it's actually the it's actually Fisher Stevens. The
plague in Lorraine, Bronco's little scheme to make millians and
leave the country. Well, they don't find out about it
for a while, and at one point Joey's goes and
he meets up with Freak and he has a tail,

(53:14):
so they end up running. He gets away, but eventually
they bust everybody.

Speaker 10 (53:19):
Folks, wake up, make up. I'm in a home for school.

Speaker 13 (53:37):
Who Grace fancays, you're unner arrest under the Computer Flaught
and Abuse Act of nineteen eighty six.

Speaker 10 (54:00):
You getting one call?

Speaker 6 (54:03):
Okay, now, folks, this is gonna be what we talked
about earlier. Remember I talked about the phone freaking. They
decided to have the freak phone freak. Yeah, exactly, here
you go.

Speaker 15 (54:20):
Understand, Hello operator services, Hello operator, I'm having trouble down
in a number five four two o two just my moment.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 13 (54:45):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Okay, it's me freak. I'm freaking joy. Wasn't making it up.
It really happed at to Allison. He gave me the
disc with the folly copied and No'm in jail. They're
taunting me with some serious ship.

Speaker 10 (54:55):
And this stuff I didn't even do, like get this
inserting some virus called da.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Vinci and they could asking about you.

Speaker 12 (55:00):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
You think they're gonna bust us.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
You better figure out what's on that disc because we're
being frank. It's in that place where I put that
thing that time.

Speaker 6 (55:16):
Okay, this is another great part that I think only
Angelina and Joelie probably could have pulled this off. I mean,
you talk about a sexy woman just I mean, look
what she does here. She sits there, she goes in
the men's bathroom to take out what Joey told her
or what Freak told her to take out. And she
walks in there. All these guys you're looking at her,

(55:38):
and she describes a condom and walks out like, m
I'm getting me some tonight. Fuck all you guys. She's

(56:12):
a keeper, folks, She's a keeper. That's all I can
say to that right there. But as you can see here,
now they all start to see they're all getting busted.
But they need to figure out why they're all getting busted.
And they do figure out what this worm is. But

(56:33):
well they need to figure they need to figure out
what this worm is, and they do that. Right now.
You're gonna see some of those cool things I was
trying to show a little while ago, some of those
graphics and all that stuff. I'm sitting here listening to

(57:10):
this and I'm going, hmm, I didn't realize all the
music was in this. This part's gonna get me in trouble.
I'm gonna go through it a little fast forward. I
think the music is throughout the whole thing, but eventually
they figure out what it is. Give me a second,
I think right here is where they figure it out.
Hold on anential Transactionelling a little bit behind here. I

(57:33):
just I forgot the music was in the scene, and
I apologize. Here we go.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
It's a warm it nibbles you see all of this.

Speaker 8 (57:43):
This is every financial transactionelling scene conducts. Yeah for a
million dollar, deals to that ten bucks at, some guy
pays for gas.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
The roe eats a few cents from eats transaction.

Speaker 8 (57:52):
No one's caught it because the money isn't really gone.
It's just that of being shipped around.

Speaker 10 (57:57):
And when the worm's ready, it ZPs out with the
money and it raises.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
It's Joey got cut off before he got to that part.
Check it out. By this point, it's already running. It
what twice the speed is when it started and it ends.
It's run in two days.

Speaker 8 (58:10):
Judging by this segment A long man, it's already eaten
about one eight million bucks man.

Speaker 10 (58:16):
Whoever wrote this needs somebody to take the phone.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
And that's freak and that's Joey and that's us.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
We got to get the rest of the file so
we can find out where the money's going before the
morm disappears, so we can find out who created it.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
I know, I know who.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Wrote it, but this Ellenson security Creed. I gave him
a copy of the disc. You gave me what you what?
Didn't know what was on it?

Speaker 7 (58:40):
Oh man, she universally stupid man though, Man, you were
amateur man, all right.

Speaker 6 (58:50):
So obviously now they know what's going on a little
bit of what's going on. They don't have the whole
file because while Joey was copying that file, his mother
came in and unplugged his computer. So now they want
to know why they were on to Dave Murphy. They
didn't know what they had on him or why they

(59:12):
were after him. And this is where he tells him
that he was zero cool, well a nothing one with
no sound. Hold on a minute, folks, give me one second.
We pulled this up. Hit pause. Maybe I forgot to
hit this one advanced audio I did. I forgot to
hit excuse me, folks, wrong button. This should fix.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
It right now, Wydy come to you.

Speaker 16 (59:34):
I got a record I was zero cool, zero cool
crash fifteen hundred and seven systems in one day, the
biggest crash in history, Front page, New York Times, August tenth,
nineteen eighty eight.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
I thought you was black man, Yo, man, this is
zero cool.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
Oh shit, this far out, this is zero cool man cool.

Speaker 10 (59:58):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 11 (01:00:00):
That goes on my team.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
I'll make it up.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Yeah, how I'll hack the Gibson.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
They'll trace you like that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Man, The cops are gonna find you. They're gonna find
you with a smoking gun.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Fucked if I can.

Speaker 16 (01:00:11):
Man, Look, even if you had the passwords, it'll take
you ten minutes to get in, and you still gotta
find the files.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Man, I mean the cops will have you in five minutes.

Speaker 10 (01:00:19):
Oh wow, we are fried.

Speaker 14 (01:00:22):
Never send a boy to do a woman's job, because
mean we can do it in seven.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
I hope we do it in six.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
Jesus, I gotta save all your asses. I help, we
could do it in five minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Now, Okay, let's go shopping.

Speaker 6 (01:00:38):
Boom okay, So I think we see what's happening here.
They're gonna hack the fucking gibbson. It's what they just said,
and it's what they're gonna fucking go do. Like I said,
I love the intensity of some of these scenes this movie,
Matthew Lillard brings the intensity up and a lot of

(01:00:58):
the scenes he's in, Even the next scene that I'm
to play in just a minute, when they're on the subway.
I think that's the next scene. I'll double check as
I'm talking here, but yeah, it's the subway. So but
I mean, now go through a little more here. Of
kind of a few facts about the movie. First of all,

(01:01:22):
the cast of this movie was given a lot of
time to hang out together before the movie, and basically
what they learned to do mostly was rollerblade and studied
computers and hacking. Rollerblading, if you watch this movie, is
a huge part of this movie. This movie was basically
kind of a glimpse and excuse me, into when rollerblading

(01:01:46):
was still pretty cool. It was actually kind of cool.
All the characters in the movie rollerblade. It kind of
made them, according to the director, it made them almost
seem like they were floating in some scenes and hovering.
But the plague he rollers. He's skateboards, so obviously obviously

(01:02:08):
he's evil because he is the skateboard guy. Huh. I
think that's how it goes. I don't know, I don't know.
But anyway, they are now down in the subway. Here
we go. Actually this is before the subway. Let me
do something here, this is before the suboy. They actually

(01:02:30):
do actually kind of go shopping right now, and they
need some schematics and some other stuff. And here we go.
This is the one scene I think where she's actually
holding a gun.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Yeah, yeah, Capona, I might take advantage of this situation.

Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
Ironically. That's it. There we go.

Speaker 17 (01:03:10):
All right, Oh, any more of this clip, it's gonna
get me in YouTube jail.

Speaker 6 (01:03:27):
So anyway, there you go. But like I said, they're
they're they're doing all this and they're going through all
this stuff and going through and going through. But now
they finally understand what's going on, why it's happening. So
what they do is they get together and they hack
the gibs and they also get the help of Razor

(01:03:48):
and Blade, and basically what Razor and Blade suggest is
they go through and get as many people from as
many parts of the world as they can to help
out go in and you know, basically just make it
hackers unite, Hack the planet. That is what this movie
is about. Hack the Planet. So let's go ahead and

(01:04:11):
watch them. They get down there, and they're hacking the Gibson.

Speaker 11 (01:04:14):
Baby, there's a new virus in the data dase.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
Its replicating, eating your memory.

Speaker 6 (01:04:24):
What do I do? Type cookie, you idiot?

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
I'll hide them off at the past.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
We have a zero bucket tack a little logged in
an all holy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
File, right anti virus, give me a systems displayed.

Speaker 6 (01:04:41):
I just want to pause real quick, and mentioned one
thing before we get too far. That cookie monster virus
that we were just looking at right there, that is
actually it's a real virus. Uh, it's actually based on
a real program from that you know, that era, the
eighties or the nineties, and it would come up on
the screen, demand a cookie, You type cookie. It would

(01:05:02):
go away for a little while, but then it would
come back and actually come back even stronger. So it
was just kind of weird that he mentions that they
brought this up. And obviously you see you got pedgulet
right there. And here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
A rabbit is in an administration system.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Send a flu shot, rabbit, flu shot.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
Someone talk to me.

Speaker 17 (01:05:35):
A rabbit replicates till it overloads a file that it
spreads like cancer.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
Cancer Who.

Speaker 5 (01:05:58):
The Gibbs And it's funniest to.

Speaker 6 (01:06:07):
So we got music coming back. So I can't play
much more of this scene. Let's see here. I don't
think there's music right.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
Here at Grand Central Station, lower level, don't.

Speaker 6 (01:06:19):
I lied there is. But they do find out where
they are. You see the cops on their way to
go get them. I'm just gonna go ahead and stop
this scene right now. And of course they do find them,
but they do end up finally calling Blade and Razor,
and they do go through and they call up people
from around the world. Now, one of those people that

(01:06:41):
they call is this gentleman right here in London. Now,
those of you who are eighties fans, this is David A.
Stewart of the Arhythmics. Yep, sweet dreams are made of that.
That's right. Annie Lennox was the singer. He was one

(01:07:02):
of the one of the other guys, basically the backup singer.
But that is David A. Stewart of the of the
Aerythmics right there. That is one of the guys they
call a little cameo in the movie. Thought that was
kind of a cool little thing to bring up. But
a lot of the stuff they bring up, like the
hacks and a lot of things are are definitely true

(01:07:22):
to this movie. Now, Pendulut's character in this movie is
named Hal. Most likely it's a reference to the Hal
nine thousand computer system from the sci fi movie two
thousand and one A Space Odyssey. You know, it's just
they bring a lot of things into this into this

(01:07:45):
movie that are just very true that not a lot
of the you know, it's it's just the way they
they made the movie very well. Again, I'm sorry, folks,
I'm kind of flipping around here. So basically, even the
one that we're about to see, uh this at the end,
you're gonna see it goes arf arf gotcha. We're about

(01:08:07):
to see this right now, when the Gibsons about to crash.
It's a reference to one of the earliest trojan Horse
programs called I'm just gonna spell this e g A
bt R. It's a nineteen ninety five program disguised as
a graphics utility, but it's spread by email and it
would wipe out everything on your hard disk. The only

(01:08:28):
thing that would come up on your screen is arf
arf gotcha, and then poof, everything was gone. So here
you go. I believe that's the part we're gonna see.
I don't know if there's gonna be music. If there is, there.

Speaker 8 (01:08:44):
Is, Joey needed to drop you fire squap to the word.

Speaker 6 (01:08:48):
You're the closest.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
It's roof slash period works slash period garbage period.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
Come on, all right, Keilly Gibson Roger that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Come on, you son of a bitch.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
That all you got?

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
Come on, let's see what else you can do talking
to me? Are you nuts? Com a me? Yeah, they're
in mccarden.

Speaker 16 (01:10:09):
Thanks you stop plastics, darstickers, your parts.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Had it out of here.

Speaker 6 (01:10:48):
J So, yeah, they're going to jail. They they take
them down to the FBI headquarters down there and now
as but they before they do that, they're bringing them
out of the station. Now remember that polaroid that I

(01:11:10):
showed you of Matthew Lillard with the New York hat
pulled down and the dark glasses on. They don't really
say where he got it, but here's a little clip
of them. They're dragging all them out of the station
and here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
You hit out of their.

Speaker 12 (01:11:34):
Few the track.

Speaker 7 (01:11:51):
Hushing all right, Sam Joshing falls that trash egg trash
egg trash.

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
Egg up plot out plot.

Speaker 6 (01:12:08):
He was only cut for Hello, we caught him red handed.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
You won't be having any more trouble from them.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
So they thought they caught him, and they did catch them.
They did catch them red handed, except Cereal got that
got that disc and they got the rest of that
file on there. So they can pretty much expose every
little thing that is going on throughout the whole thing,
throughout why it was done, why it was blamed on them,

(01:12:47):
and it does get explained right here in this clip.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Well, I'm afraid not hackers are a great threat to
the national security. This incident just proves without a doubt
that we need increased funding.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
Hold On's getting old Lah, boys and girls.

Speaker 18 (01:13:01):
It is eyed serial, our first coast to coast worldwide
global television appearance.

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
Yes, that's right.

Speaker 18 (01:13:10):
I'm here to tell you about this heinous scheme patch
from with an Ellison mineral But from what you ask,
World Domination.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
Nay, something far more attacking.

Speaker 18 (01:13:23):
A virus called Da Vinci that when launch would cause
Ellens and Mineral tankers to capsize was to be blamed
on Ennison hackers.

Speaker 10 (01:13:31):
But this virus was really the smoke.

Speaker 18 (01:13:33):
Screen, right, It could be so vitally important to protect
that someone would create.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Such a nasty, anti solo, very uncool violence program.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
But why could be to cover the tracks.

Speaker 18 (01:13:46):
Of this worm program, the one that was listed twenty
five million bars. The passwords at the time we go
suck belongst to Margos head of Papa, my had Ellison,
Mineral and Eugene Belford secured y'all, what's this?

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Is this young named account the Bahamas where the money
was to be stashed?

Speaker 9 (01:14:08):
I think so, alady, yeah, kind of feel my gosh,
you gene.

Speaker 12 (01:14:28):
This movie.

Speaker 6 (01:14:29):
Sorry, I locked up, folks, I muted when I locked up. Anyway,
he's uh, the name he's using on the plane that
he's going on is Charlie Babbage. Charlie Babbage is the
inventor of one of the earliest forms of computer that
was twice. I left my mic on mute and I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. What's going on tonight? I'm gonna have
to do some editing. But anyway, so basically, uh, this

(01:14:55):
movie has so many homages and just uh, you know,
paying gomage to a lot of different people and a
lot of different things. And it's got a lot of little,
uh little nuances that are just true that stayed true
to the hacker kind of hacker code. And that's kind
of why this movie is was basically ahead of its time.
Number one, But why this movie is just a cult

(01:15:16):
classic for the real hackers out there. A lot of
hackers will tell you this is the best hacker movie
you'll ever see, and you know it's it's that old
of a movie. But here's Eugene on the plane.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
Right time of Tokyo should be about fourteen hours today.
I get you anything else, You're just a pillow.

Speaker 10 (01:15:48):
Please, you're welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
What's going on that told me start us?

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
I'll never fly this airline again.

Speaker 6 (01:16:07):
I'll never fly this airline again. That's pretty bad, all right.
So now one thing I kind of forgot to mention this.
Throughout this movie, Dade and Kate Libby did not like
each other. They made a little bet if Dad one,
she was gonna have to go out with him on
a date. If she won, Dad was gonna be her slave,

(01:16:28):
not that kind of slave. So obviously, after everything that happened,
they got a little more romantic during it and ended
up really liking each other. Obviously more than we know,
because they ended up being married six months after the movie.
So anyway, last scene right here, folks, and we're pretty
much gonna wrap up right here. I don't think I

(01:16:49):
have anything else, so let's go ahead and wrap up.
You look good in address.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
You would have looked better.

Speaker 6 (01:17:14):
I want to go for a swim.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
I can't believe they decided you won.

Speaker 6 (01:17:31):
They didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Guys, felt it was the only way I'd get a date.

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
Anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:17:41):
You're pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
You're elite.

Speaker 14 (01:17:48):
You know, if you would have said some of the beginning,
you would have saved yourself a whole lot of trouble.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
Beat that.

Speaker 6 (01:18:18):
Pun tyres might be minute, say crash and burn. Obviously
he was crash override. She was acid burn. So it
was pretty cool. Just a little thing. But folks, I'm
lasting a couple last little things I'll say about this
movie right here. It definitely is one of the Like
I said to me, this is one of the greater
movies of the I mean the nineties, the mid nineties.

(01:18:41):
I don't even know what you would want to call it,
but I mean, it definitely was the mid nineties. It
was ninety five, but hackers and just an excellent movie
to watch. Sit down. It's not that long of a movie.
It flies by because it's such a just a fast
paced movie, not many lulls in the movie, not many
slow spots in the movie. It really is just one

(01:19:03):
of those movies that you can sit back and just watch.
You don't have to really get involved in it. You
don't just sit there. It's not one of those mind,
you know, mind melting movies. You can just sit back,
you can watch this movie. And it's a really cool movie.
It's got a lot of cool hacks in it. I mean,
they do so many things in this movie. They make

(01:19:26):
a guy dead, they hack his credit cards, they hack
a lot of things. They hacked the stop lights, they
hack a lot of things in this movie. And it's
just a lot of cool things going on. But I
really don't have much left, or I have nothing left. Actually,
I pretty much did everything I wanted to do, play
everything I wanted to play. Thank you all for joining me.

(01:19:48):
I'm noticing the views are going up a little bit,
and I really appreciate that. I know this channel never
had a YouTube and I'm not used to doing this,
but Mixler isn't working. My old program that I broadcast
from isn't working anymore. So I really had no choice.
It was either do this or stay with audio. I
like doing the audio. I'm actually not don't really like

(01:20:09):
doing the video. I'm not very keen on sitting here
looking at myself, and I'm sure some of you don't
really want to look at me anyway. But I do
like doing this. I like that I can share the
movie with you. Like that I can share scenes. I
like that I can share a lot more on YouTube
those on audio. I'm trying to give you kind of
paint a picture for you guys, as best as I

(01:20:31):
can to kind of play the scenes out more. What's
you know, what needs to be visual? I'm trying to
talk about it. Sorry that I left the my mic
volume down twice tonight. I won't do that again. I
need to get a I need to get like a
mute button or something. I'll figure that out later. But uh,

(01:20:52):
that's nothing for you guys to worry about. But checkout Hackers, y'all.
Nineteen ninety five movie. Great movie. I mean, obviously you've
seen the scenes and Angelina Jolius gorgeous in this movie,
so you could even just watch it for that if
you want to. But just an all around great movie.
The characters are great. I think the choice of cast

(01:21:17):
really made the movie great. The fact that they you
know it even, like I had brought up before, the
fact that they let him hang out for like three weeks.
They hung out together, they learned to roll away together.
They were basically became friends over three weeks, and it
showed during the movie. So definitely is a cool movie.

(01:21:37):
So I want y'all to check it out, and I
want y'all to check out Hollywood Hangout I've got. I
may still stick to doing Rounders next week. I also
might also focus on an actor instead, and I'm thinking
I may I want to talk about Al Jeng. You

(01:21:59):
folks will know him when I pull him up next week.
I'm pretty sure I'm actually going to focus on an
actor next week. I kind of have something going on
throughout the week with popcorn sales with the kids, so
I need to kind of not It's gonna be hard
for me to do a lot of prep for a movie,
but I can definitely prep for Aljeong And you will

(01:22:20):
definitely know who this guy is. He has been in
so many movies over the night, over the eighties, the nineties,
the two thousands. If you remember the guy who tortured
Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon. That's Aljeong and you will
definitely know who he is from die Hard. He takes
the candy bar, all kinds of movies that this guy

(01:22:43):
has been an extra in so many movies. I definitely
want to focus on this guy, so I'm more than
likely going to do that. If not, if I do
end up having more time, I'm definitely talking rounders. So
Rounders will either be next week or the week after.
Aljeong will either be next week or the week after.
One of the two is definitely going to be next week.
And on that note, thank you everybody. I appreciate you

(01:23:06):
guys watching. I appreciate everybody stopping by. Definitely like the video.
If you like it, If you want to dislike it,
you can dislike it. I understand. If you have any comments,
tell me how to get better, tell me to stop
talking with my hands, whatever you want me to do,
please let me know down in the comment section. Like this,
subscribe to this and that's it, folks. Thank you very much,

(01:23:31):
see you next time.
