Episode Details

Everybody runs, but nobody runs like Tom Cruise. Prolific video essayist Patrick (H) Willems (!!) joins us for this extra-long MINORITY REPORT episode. We're going deep on Steven Spielberg's second entry into the cyberpunk genre, and this time, there are surveillance spiders...and sticks that make you puke!

Next week, we cover the Richard Linklater's A SCANNER DARKLY (2006). Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx
