EP33 - Alien (1979)

Season 1 · Episode 33

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 • Duration 01:14:45

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1979 protopunk science-fiction horror masterpiece, Alien – directed by Ridley Scott; written by Dan O’Bannon; story by Dan O’Bannon & Ronald Shusett; starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, Ian Holm, and Yaphet Kotto.

After investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin, the crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform.

Alien is the ultimate sci-fi horror mashup that revolutionized the two genres and created a pop-culture sensation. It has all the thematic elements of cyberpunk – MUTHER, the AI-computer that controls the ship and only parcels out information on the need-to-know basis to the expendable crew; ASH, the evil android that is jeopardizing the safety of the crew because he’s following orders from the Company – WEYLAND-YUTANI, the evil multi-national corporation that wants the xenomorph for their bio-weapons division – to the design of the bio-mechanical planetoid that pulses with xenomorphic dread. If cosmic horror is defined as “the terror of the unknowable and incomprehensible”, then ALIEN fits it like a glove.

So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!

EP32 - 12 Monkeys (1995)

Season 1 · Episode 32

Thursday, October 17, 2024 • Duration 01:03:50

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1995 cyberpunk psychological end-of-world thriller, 12 Monkeys – directed by Terry Gilliam; written by David Webb Peoples & Janet Peoples; inspired by the film “La Jetee” by Chris Marker; starring Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt, Jon Seda, David Morse, and Christopher Plummer.

In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.

12 Monkeys was a film I saw for the first time as a VHS rental in 1996. I did not see it in the movie theater. At that point, I had not seen the French New Wave film that inspired it, La Jetee (that wouldn’t happen until 1999). For the 17-year old me who was wired into science-fiction, cyberpunk, and all things end of the world, this hit every freaking box. It is one of the best mindfuck films out there and I love it.

So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!

Wednesday, June 5, 2024 • Duration 59:11

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be doing something very special – I am filming my next short film over the next two weekends, so I decided to do a little two part breakdown on what it takes to create a film - from script to screen, from auditions to rehearsals, from principal photography to picture lock. If you want to know my specific process on how to make a movie, you’re in luck, because I’m knee deep into my short film right now, and I really want to catalog the entire behind-the-scenes action as I take you on a journey to making a short film. Let’s make a movie!

EP20 - MAD MAX Is My Favorite Franchise EVER!

Season 1 · Episode 20

Wednesday, May 29, 2024 • Duration 01:30:06

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be doing something radically different, as I will deep dive into my favorite franchise of all-fucking-time – MAD MAX! I was all prepared to do a landmark cyberpunk film, and then I saw FURIOSA in IMAX this weekend and it derailed everything – in a good way. I couldn’t stop thinking about MAD MAX – from the 1979 original to the 2024 triumphant FURIOSA, and I went on a binge of watching all of the movies again!

EP19 - HACK THE PLANET w/Iain Softley (director of HACKERS)

Season 1 · Episode 19

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 • Duration 01:16:11

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be speaking to a very SPECIAL GUEST – Iain Softley, the director of Hackers! Iain was gracious enough to come on the show and discuss his 1995 cult-classic cyberpunk film. We get DEEP into the behind the scenes elements of making Hackers – from director's choices, to costumes, sound design, etc. It’s a fun ride into what it takes to make a film. We also delve into Iain’s initial spark to become a filmmaker with a perfect storm of influences during his formative years – from 60/70s rock/roll, to French New Wave, to New Hollywood

EP18 - Nemesis (1992)

Season 1 · Episode 18

Wednesday, May 15, 2024 • Duration 01:16:27

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1992 cyberpunk action film, Nemesis – written and directed by Albert Pyun, starring Olivier Gruner, Tim Thomerson, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brion James, and Vincent Klyn.

Alex, a burned out L.A. cyborg cop, is forced by commissioner Farnsworth to find his former cyborg partner and lover Jared who’s about to deliver sensitive data to cyborg terrorists who wish to wage war against humans. Is he being played?

This film might be the most insane B-movie cyberpunk action film ever made. There are more bullets fired in this film than in any film I’ve seen. Albert Pyun, who we already went over with on Cyborg, returns to his favorite sub-genre and delivers some amazing thrills and action set-pieces. You just have to see it to believe it! Trust me, there are parts in this movie that you can’t unwatch! It’s a stunt spectacular!

So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!

EP17 - Cyborg (1989)

Season 1 · Episode 17

Wednesday, May 8, 2024 • Duration 01:09:03

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1989 cyberpunk action film, Cyborg – written and directed by Albert Pyun, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dayle Haddon, and Vincent Klyn.

A martial artist hunts a killer in a plague-infested urban dump of the future.

This is the ultimate guilty-pleasure movie of my childhood that I watched a million times on VHS. JCVD fighting guys in a post-apocalyptic future with cyberpunk vibes and his modified paint-ball gun was the greatest thing these eyes had ever seen in 1989. I watched it so much that I memorized every cut, every poorly delivered line of dialogue, every fight, and every slow motion kill. There is a big difference between A and B-grade cyberpunk films, and Cyborg is at the top of the B-movie catalog. It’s so freakin good.

So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!

Season 1 · Episode 16

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 02:29:06

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I had a conversation with Michael Molcher, author of I Am the Law: How Judge Dredd Predicted Our Future. He is also the Brand Manager of 2000 A.D. This is a MEGA double-sized episode. Michael and I go deep, we go granular into Dredd lore, books, science fiction, cyberpunk, movies, 18th Century English history, you name it, we talked about in this epic podcast session. This is a landmark episode and I couldn’t thank Michael more for his amazing takes on All Things Dredd! Go out and purchase the book. I’ve read it. I’ve underlined the heck out of it. I’ve put it on my shelf next to my books on freakin’ philosophy, it’s that damn good.

So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!
