0:00.0	Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. I'm your host, Madeline. And I'm your co-host, Kenna.
0:28.6	Okay, Kenna, today I would like to ask you, what is the most dystopian real thing you have ever seen on television?
0:41.2	Oh my gosh. I don't know. I know. It's a big question.
0:46.4	There's so many things, right? Like futuristic thing? Anything where you watch this and you're like,
0:53.1	this is real and this is happening, but it is horrifying and I cannot look away. Um, on TV or like also in movies. Oh, it could be either.
0:55.0	Let's do all media.
0:56.5	Okay.
1:03.7	There is this movie called Gamer that is set in the near future.
1:10.8	Okay, it's directed by the same people who did crank and crank two high voltage. So just think super, like early 2000
1:14.3	misogynistic action movie. I will go on record as saying crank and crank 2 are two of my
1:20.6	favorite movies. They are sick. Yes. They are, it's definitely like that vein where that like
1:26.4	early 2000s just figured out like filters.

1:49.7	Yes. Okay. So I saw a movie similar to this, but it's newer. And it's that there's like some evil black market video game people who will find innocent civilians and like hack into their
2:02.7	reins or something and then they'll control them in a televised like video game style fight to
2:07.6	the death yeah and they'll have like weapons forced on their hands and then they have to fight each
2:13.3	other and there's this girl who's like the champion but she's just like all jacked up on cocaine
2:17.5	the whole time yeah so basically in this movie people compete uh with like in this call of duty
2:25.4	style game but the characters that use are death row inmates so this is like your chance to get
2:33.3	out of prison.
2:34.2	And then on the other, the flip side, regular people can compete in like a sim style game where they are basically a human sim and they clock in like I'm being a sim for the day.
