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 Charles de Lauzirika, filmmaker, documentarian, and film archaeologist as we delve DEEP into the development hell that was ALIEN 3 (1992). Charles was responsible for all of the Behind-the-Scenes footage of the ALIEN QUADRILOGY boxed set and he was the perfect person to talk to as we shared our mutual love and admiration for the much-maligned, somewhat ridiculed, red-headed step-child of the Alien Franchise. This is a MEGA double-sized episode that checks all the boxes for any fan of Cyberpunk Cinema. This one absolutely rocks!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!

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 1986 cyberpunk sci-fi action masterpiece, Aliens – written & directed by James Cameron; story by James Cameron, Walter Hill, & David Giler; starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, Jenette Goldstein, and Carrie Henn.
Decades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.
Aliens transformed my childhood and became a sci-fi action landmark that, in my opinion, has never been topped. This film is galvanizing, terrifying, heart-pounding, pulse-pounding, funny, legendarily quotable, and a certifiable stone-cold classic. It’s the ultimate litmus test – if you don’t like Aliens, than we can’t be friends. Period. I have probably seen this film near 100 times and it only gets better with each viewing. I cannot fucking wait to go over this star beast!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.

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.

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.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1998 cyberpunk thriller, Pi – written/directed by Darren Aronofsky; starring Sean Gullette, Mark Margolis, and Ben Shenkman.
A paranoid mathematician searches for a key number that will unlock the universal patterns found in nature.
I watched Pi on VHS back when I was in college in the late-90s and it changed my entire outlook. It is the film that made me want to become a filmmaker and Darren Aronofsky was my new favorite director. When I first went to Boston University, I wanted to go into sports broadcasting, I thought I was going to be on ESPN or WFAN and being a sports journalist. Well, I saw this movie, and the rest is history. It was unlike any other movie I had ever seen. It was indie-rock cyberpunk. It was black and white. It was dangerous. It was experimental. It was guerilla DIY. It was fucking awesome.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the great lega-sequel 2010 cyberpunk movie, Tron Legacy – directed by Joseph Kosinski, written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, starring Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, and Michael Sheen.
The son of a virtual world designer goes looking for his father and ends up inside the digital world that his father designed. He meets his father’s corrupted creation and a unique ally who was born inside the digital world.
Tron Legacy is one of the best cyberpunk films of this century. It holds a special place in my heart because I showed this film to my 4-year-old son back in 2011 and it became one of the first films that he obsessed over. We watched it dozens of times together and I was shocked by how much more I loved it watching HIM experience it through his eyes. It made the film that much more poignant, especially with the father/son angle in the film. Let’s just say, this viewing definitely got me teary-eyed.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.

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 ground-breaking 1982 cyberpunk movie, Tron – written and directed by Steven Lisberger, starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, David Warner, Cindy Morgan, and Barnard Hughes.
A computer hacker is abducted into the digital world and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.
This is one of the first cyberpunk films I remember watching as a little kid. I remember being dazzled by the otherworldly raw special effects of cyberspace, thinking about how cool it would be to be zapped into my favorite video game (I always wanted to be in Space Quest and travel the universe with Roger Wilco and the Pirates of Pestulon). Tron was one of the landmark 1982 cyberpunk films along with Blade Runner, Burst City, and Liquid Sky.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.

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 2017 legasequel cyberpunk modern masterpiece, Blade Runner 2049 – co-written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, based on the characters from “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick, and directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Dave Bautista, Robin Wright, Sylvia Hoeks, and Jared Leto.
Young Blade Runner K’s discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who’s been missing for thirty years.
This film has only gotten better with every passing year. It is Denis Villeneuve’s triumphant legacy-sequel to one of the greatest science fiction films of all-time. Everything rips in this film, from the compositions by Roger Deakins, to the score by Hans Zimmer, to the pacing orchestrated by Denis, to the sense of isolation and desolation that permeates throughout the film, and the question that haunts all replicants and humans alike – what does it mean to be human?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.

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 1982 hands-down #1 cyberpunk film of all-time, Blade Runner – co-written by Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples, based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick, and directed by Ridley Scott, starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, Daryl Hannah, William Sanderson, and Joe Turkel.
A blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.

Dick, and executed to absolute adaptation perfection by Ridley Scott. This is the ultimate cyberpunk movie. This is the catalyst that launched Cyberpunk Cinema. And it is my distinct pleasure to give you a comprehensive deep dive into every aspect of the film – from the novel, to the screenplay, to the casting, to the embattled shoot, to the film attaining cult-classic status, and rising to the ranks of one of the best science-fiction films ever made.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down a very special topic that’s near and dear to my heart – The Star Wars EXPANDED UNIVERSE of the 1990s freakin ruled, and I’m going to tell you why it’s better than anything the Disney Star Wars has given us since they purchased it from George Lucas. I was that kid who read all the books in elementary and high school, and I’m proud as hell that I did, because it opened up my imagination more than anything that has come out since the Disney purchase. Join me on the journey from 1983 to 1999, from Return of the Jedi to The Phantom Menace, from childhood to adolescence. I am opening up my Star Wars vault of books and memorabilia to share with you all. In the immortal words of Han Solo - Never tell me the odds!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.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1976 protopunk thriller, Logan’s Run – directed by Michael Anderson, starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Farah Fawcett, Peter Ustinov, and Roscoe Lee Browne.
A police officer in the future uncovers the deadly secret behind a society that worships youth.
Logan’s Run was a landmark science-fiction film of the mid-1970s that posed the question – would you live in a utopian society where you didn’t have to work or struggle but the payoff is that you’d have to sacrifice your life by the time you reach 30? That’s the dilemma that haunts Logan and Jessica, as they decide to press their luck and see what remains outside the dome. It is a fascinating exploration on how we create the walls that imprison us from reality, the laws that govern us with fear, and the lies we tell each other that blind us from the truth. This is at the very core of Logan’s Run.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.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1971 dystopian protopunk film, THX 1138 – co-written by George Lucas and Walter Murch and directed by George Lucas, starring Robert Duvall, Donald Pleasance, Don Pedro Colley, and Maggie McOmie.
In the 25th century, a time when people have designations instead of names, a man, THX 1138, and a woman, LUH 3417, rebel against their rigidly controlled society.
This was the debut film of George Lucas before he created Star Wars. It is a protopunk masterpiece that was the primer for the rest of Lucas’ career as a filmmaker. It delves into all of the hallmarks of cyberpunk before it’s official designation – dystopian society, mind control, drug abuse, cyborgs, cassette futurism. It has a little bit of everything and it paved the way for future of science fiction. It is criminally underrated and I’ll be breaking it down next!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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.
