I found myself mentally quipping these obnoxious millennial core mimi quotes to myself as I was watching it,

like Neo dodging the bullets, like me when I say something controversial about Taylor's like

Neo making the bullet stop and fall down me when I log off it's was just like, oh, I have been internet pills in a way that the Matrix did not anticipate.

And... The I'm Max Fisher. I'm Aaron Ryan with us is Jamel Bowie.

Jamel thank you so much for joining us.

Jimel's a New York Times columnist and also the co-host of the great movie

podcast Unclear and Present Danger.

Thank you so much for having me. I feel like I should say for listeners

that technically our podcast is a politics podcast based off of movies.

Sometimes people get very upset when we don't like

annoyed. Well one of the reasons I was so excited to have you on this series is that what we are doing with the offline movie club is kind of doing for internet movies, what you have been doing for 90s action thrillers about politics and

national security so it felt like a very natural fit to have you on.

Well thank you so much for having me. So to introduce the show this is the

offline movie club every episode we watch a beloved movie

then discuss how that movie reflects or shapes how we think about tech and the internet.
