Summary

What's its mission? June's fear of technology prompts that unforgettable question when the HDTGM crew break down the 1995 cyber-thriller Hackers starring Angelina Jolie, Jonny Lee Miller, Fisher Stevens, and Lorraine Bracco. They discuss the movie's bonkers take on common computer passwords, the hackers' fashion, Penn Jillette in the big computer room, and Fisher Stevens' amazing performance as "The Plague." Plus, the gang takes a break from movie talk to gab all about candy bars, gum, and vaping. (Originally Released 11/27/2015)
