Hackers is a proto cyberpunk story that was outside of its own timeline. That Razor and Blade foreshadowed youtube, the trolling of fbi, that the internet didnt work the way it was portrayed in the movie to the fact that it eventually would. The subtle fluidity of sexuality, fashion, and status. Its always been one of my all time faves since it came out. Ill never let go of my vhs copy

I saw this movie in 1st grade at my cousins house, ironically on a hacked cable box (descrambled pay-per-view). Instantly fell in love with the concept of hacking. The sprinkler scene blew my mind. Watching that movie was literally the defining moment of my vocational life. It was 5th grade before my parents finally got us a computer. I think the years of waiting actually helped drive me. Once we got it, I EXPLODED onto that thing. Our phone line was PERPETUALLY busy, and once I figured out how to disable call waiting, it was over. I didnt watch a TV series really until DragonBall Z,Adult Swim, and House M.D. My entire childhood was spent online learning and exploring, all because of this movie

I grew up with my parents video store owners and eventually I worked there. The last time I looked in the system, it said I rented Hackers 77 times (for free). And I rarely watch anything twice. And I had thousands of other choices. The originality, the costumes, the music, the setting, the powerful, emotional and flamboyant performances. I mean...gaming on a huge screen in a club wearing rollerblades with your crush next to you ? It shouldn't work but it works. The Richard Gill scene is one of my favorite scene on screen ever. The directing is sooooo good. Amazing content guys, love the channel.

He really sells himself short. I know he was a horny teen pretty much at the time, and has few concrete memories from his time with the movie, but he is without a doubt the most standout character, and given that he says he was given a lot of that creative leeway to become that character, sorry, but he's my favourite, thanks to his own interpretation, hands down. I know he wanted that lead role, but no one could have done Cereal anywhere as much justice as he did. His personality was about as eccentric as the costumes! I think he helped sell it. I love this movie every bit as much as you. I may not be a collector, restorer or have a dedicated channel, so... ok, maybe I am not as much of a fan. But! I've watched the movie about once a year since it came out, I have the whole thing memorized, and yeah, definitely by far the movie I've watched the most times. Happy this exists. Much love.

By the way, Jonny and Angelina met and got married thanks to Hackers and as far as we know they both are in good terms and consider each other goid friends after the divorce, so they both have an special attachment to the movie. IMO getting to interview Jonny is what is going to open the gates to Angelina as having him intercede in some manner in favor of the fans is the only realistic way I see we would ever get to see an interview with Angelina either here or on the website.

One thing I LOVE is that the Cyberpunk RED tabletop game (which Cyberpunk 2077 was based on) has since included Serial Killer as a character, with his own figurine, which Matthew Illard played as on a livestream that the game's creator ran. It's a fantastic watch for Hackers fans because he basically improvs the character again for a whole session, down to having bionic rollerblade feet.
Loved the interview. The piece that stuck with me the most was the toothbrush. I always took Mathew for granted with his larger than life memorable characters. To stand out in a hyper-stylized character driven movie like Hackers, says a lot. I didn’t put too much thought into the actual acting behind it, such as the toothbrush. I’ll remember that.

It got me interested in computers at a time when computers weren’t even a thing to be interested in. And ended up in IT as a result. Or, as he says, was probably that way inclined anyway but this most certainly reinforced it.

But Lillard became an actor I love to watch with this movie. My favorite scenes are when he is hanging out with Lord Nikon(Laurence Mason). They seemed like true friends and they reminded me of a friend I used to have. HACK THE PLANET!

Matthew mentioned it took time for this to get a following, but I didn't get that impression at all, at least amongst my friends, we all loved this from day one. The soundtrack was great, it had tons of quotable lines, the plot was great with a competitive element amongst the characters that turned into comradery in the third act. Shout out to Angelina for being tons of guys celebrity crush after this as well.

Only a few minutes in, but I think it's interesting to hear that Hackers only gained some traction many years afterwards. For me it was an instant hit when I first saw it in the 90's, but I was (am) a geeky kid. I had a fleeting interest with programming, but never really started in force until years after I'd seen the movie, which was likely a huge part of what drew me to it. I started reading 2600 and other zines from the time, books on Kevin Mitnick, Poulson, etc. Anyway, I just thought it had always been a hit with geeks like me, so that bit amused me! Also, dunno why this interview only showed up in my recommended 2 years after it was made, but I'm glad it did. Cereal was always my favorite, and like Matthew in everything he does!

I've loved this movie since it came out because it reminded me of my high-school experience. My friends and I ran all the local school computer labs to get access to newer computers, hacked our own gear and other's software, and spent time exploring online to learn everything we could about technology. We did internet, rollerblades, techno punk, and other movie tropes IRL years before the movie made it cool (87-91). The characters were so much like people I knew, only cooler and better looking doing slightly cooler (and much more illegal) stuff than we did. Thanks to all for the memories! While the computer graphics didn't capture what *NIX and DOS looked like, it sure felt like that in our minds. As for fashion, a lot of it reminded me of goth and punk inspired outfits we'd wear for special occasions.

Hackers doesn’t get enough credit for the subtle touches tha the actors and director brought to the film. But if you watch the movie a million times, they jump out at you- -Cereal comes in and starts doing the speech about Orwell, he has this half-beat where he notices Dade sitting there, and he pauses and gives this, “Who is this?” look, then he continues. -Kate and Cereal show up at Dade’s house, and Softley gives Dade’s mom and Kate one beat with just the two of them, so Dade’s mom can say, “Now I see what all the fuss is about,” and as she finishes the line, Cereal lurches into frame. Great choice. Great blocking.

The movie has nostalgic value for me because it brings me back to when the internet had such a mystique. This was a time when computer enthusiasts were mocked and ridiculed as “nerds.” So the internet was like this mysterious underworld where outcasts hold all the cards and assume godlike control over their persecutors. This movie just exploited that idea and embellished it with light shows, techno music, bizarre scenery, etc. Although it didn’t capture reality, it definitely tapped into my 13-year-old imagination. That said, War Games was a way better film and portrayal of computer hacking. It came out in 1983 but I saw it after Hackers.
