Can you decipher reality? What if you played a game where you're pulled into a reality so deep you don't know what's real anymore? Welcome to eXistenZ. Nathan and Ryan are going back to our fellow Canadian, and director of the first feature of this podcast, David Cronenberg. Join us as we look at an overlooked film of his that came out mere weeks after the cultural phenom with similar ideas, but very different execution.

Virtual Reality. Hot subject in 1999, and despite being somewhat late to the party, The Thirteenth Floor still squeaks into our 90s Cyberpunk batch. Thanks for joining us. Ryan and Nathan had pretty different experiences with this one, but manage to find some conversation fruit about artificial intelligence, video games and the ethics of killing NPCs. We then dive into a discussion about great horror movie monsters.  If you'd like to send in some questions for future shows, email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca We are also on Hive and Instagram, okvideopodcast, and BlueSky, OKVideo.

Data security. Identity Theft. Triangulation. Pretty fresh concepts in 1995. Though it may not TECHNICALLY be cyberpunk, Ryan and Nathan felt The Net needed to be acknowledged as a tech savvy thriller that was important in the 90s, so it gets a full look here.
