Johnny Mnminute

This is a crosspost from our retired podcast, Creek of the Week, which we decided to revisit in order to announce our new project, the High Tech Low Life podcast, or rather The High Tech Low Life Podcast: A Cyberpunk Media Retrospective.  We plan to read, watch, and listen to all things cyberpunk, and break em down week by week.  Give reviews, ratings, and relate the imagined dystopias of the past, to the emerging dystopia of the present.  If you aren't into Dawson's Creek feel free to bounce after the first 15 minutes or so, but here's a secret: Dawson's Creek is dope.  You should listen to the whole thing.

After stalling for a half hour or so, your hosts give some of their final thoughts on Amazon Prime's The Peripheral, as well as listener thoughts and random internet people thoughts.

We made it folks, this week we break down the finale.  Don't worry we are just as confused as you are, we'll figure this thing out together.

This week we recommend some stuff, then we get deep into the penultimate episode of The Peripheral, and mainly discuss our confusion about decisions made by the showrunners.

Episode 6 of Peripheral finally picks up the pace and introduces a character we both love.  It is not without it's flaws however, and we root em out like couple of truffle-hunting piggies.

This week your hosts express their puzzlement at how a show with so few episodes, and so much source material to draw from, can have so much filler fluff in the middle of it's run.  We also talk about the mid terms and make fun of Elon some more.

This week we watch the 4th episode of The Peripheral and comment on it's lack of content.  Lotta fluff this week.

Episode 3 of The Peripheral deals with murderous car salesmen, murderous cybernetic military dudes, and murderous robots.  Your murderous hosts break it down for you.

This week we go over Episode 3 of The Peripheral, and discuss it's many deviations from the source material.  This episode is bananas, if you can remember what those are.

We discuss the pilot episode of The Peripheral and get deep into it.  We express our opinions, discuss changes from the book, and make predictions about what it all means.

We're back baby, and we be bantering.  On this SEASON PREMIERE of the new and improved Johnny Mnminute Podcast we lay out what the next few episodes of our show are going to be about, then we talk about what we've missed over the last 6 months.  Just getting our podcasting legs back. 

Just another episode, this one just happens to be the last.  We talk the usual stuff then spend A LOT of time talking about the credits.  Like... more than you would expect.  Then we eff off into the internet never to be seen again.  Vaya con dios.

This week we watch the scene that clearly inspired the final shot of Fight Club, and talk about that for maybe too long.

We discuss horrific state laws, our predictable dystopia, a lot of Batman, and then we watch Johnny get his groove back.

Josh & Eric spend a lot of time catching up on current events & recommendos, then they watch as the cure for NAS gets distributed to the world.

This week we skip the Dystopian stuff, dish out some happy recommendos, then we watch as Johnny finishes the hack, and the Pharmacom data goes out to the world.

Johnny finally gets down to the business of hackin dat brain.

Eric & Josh talk spotify, recommendos, then watch Johnny strap in and dive deep into that good pharmacom shtish.

This week we get super local with some Kansas State political talk, then we go simp for Dina Meyer while Johnny looks perplexed.

Johnny gets ready to hack his own brain, but first he has to meet his maker.

This week we spend damn near the entire podcast talking about the actual movie it's based upon, with very little digression.  But more importantly we watch the Street Preacher slowly and painfully die.

First, a half hour of Matrix Resurrection talk (spoiler tag included), then it's time for the Street Preacher to nail hands and chop heads.

The Street Preacher makes his shocking return as Johnny obtains the second access code.

After a loving retrospective of The Matrix, the boys watch two grown men hang from a net, until one of those men loses his head.

This week Shinji chases Johnny, and they find themselves in a precarious position.

Takahashi cuts Anna's feed, then gets perforated.  Shinji prepares to claim his prize.

Takahashi makes his appearance in heaven with a sword and a desire for head.

Much talk of pinball precedes a minute full of rocket launchers and crossbow shots.

Johnny & Jones enter cyberspace while Maroni catches a bug.

This week your boys spend about a half hour talking Dune, then get into a very exciting Mnminute.  Time for Johnny & Jones to get to work.

Johnny gives in.  Shinji heads up.

Shinji makes his triumphant return, then Johnny learns what is about to happen to him.

Finally Johnny gets to meet the mysterious Jones that everyone has been talking about.  However he may get more than he bargained for. Because Jones is a dolphin, didn't expect that, did ya, Johnny?

This week Johnny & Jane get a guided tour to the heart of Heaven itself, and learn what exactly it is the Loteks do there.

Johnny wakes up from his flashback and is immediately sucking face with Jane.  Then we learn about the lo-tek bang train.

Johnny gets carried through Heaven, and we get a good look at all the Lotek's who keeping an eye on him.

This week we spend a lot of time discussing how Ice-T chooses to look behind himself, and also the stability of platforms.  It is a dry minute, but we do our best.

Johnny finishes the second half of his rant outside the gates of heaven.  Jane consoles her boy as J-Bone descends.

This week Johnny snaps, stands on a mound of literal garbage, and expresses his vitriol to all within earshot (mainly just the dogs, and the garbage and last month's newspapers blowing back and forth).

This week we spend a lot of time catching up, then we watch Johnny and Jane get a flaming beetle dropped on their heads.

This week Johnny lets down his walls for a minute, and we get to learn a little more about the mysterious Jones.

Johnny and Jane arrive at the gates of Heaven, but before they can get in they have to deal with a couple of Lotek St. Peters.

Your hosts begin with dystopia talk that is slightly more upbeat than usual, followed by a minute that is decidedly less so.  RIP Spider.

On this week's Johnny Duneminute, the Street Preacher cometh, and he's got quips aplenty for Johnny, Spider and Jane. Now Jones is Johnny's only hope.

This week Johnny learns exactly what it is that he is carrying, and has to come to terms with the cost of saving it.   https://shop.spreadshirt.com/johnny60seconds

After much talk about The Cut of Snyder, ya boys dive into Johnny Mnemonic with the excitement of Spyder diving into Johnny's skull.  Which he might just have to do.

Johnny, Jane, and Spider continue their tour through the makeshift NAS hospital, and Spider reveals the he is the intended recipient of the data in Johnny's head.

Johnny, Spider, and Jane get a first hand glimpse at the ravages of NAS.  Spider, after receiving some delicious coffee and charts, begins to explain who Dr. Allcome is.

This week Johnny, Spider, and Jane attempt vehicular manslaughter, but unfortunately just end up with vehicular battery.  Then they head to the covid ward... excuse me, the NAS ward.

Johnny, Spider, and Jane discuss whether the data within Johnny's brain is as important as the brain itself.  Josh and Eric discuss other stuff.

After some light cannibalism talk, we watch the 54th minute of Johnny Mnemonic, in which Spider gets a look at Johnny's wetware.
