Gotta say McAuley Culkin is super knowledgeable and seems to have a photogenic memory, had no idea. I had this whole idea of him being really strange and odd, but he seems way more intelligent then I would have thought. Still a tiny bit strange but definitely a very well put together human who made it out of the Hollywood scene mentally and socially unscathed.
Literally love this movie. So many Easter eggs! Great soundtrack! And boy did I ever want a hangout like that bar/skatepark/arcade they all hung out in!
This was really fantastic. I think I first saw Hackers in ’98 and thought it was SO. COOL. I lived out in the middle of no where and didn’t get a home computer until ’02, internet in ’06. Long story short: this movie made little me get a comp sci degree (not the ‘offish’ title) and the sound track is still pretty rad. Thanks ‘Hackers’. Ps: I primarily update POS systems now. Not as cool…but still kinda cool.
We all knew, even back then, what a wild swing Hackers was. So what was great was the soundtrack, and the little bits here and there that were actually close to real life. The pc stats were real, though incredibly sad 2 years after the movie came out. they even talked about using Lenox, and they would have been talking about Mac if they wanted to just appear impressive.
It was the first movie I ever heard Massive Attack in. The pay phone trick was real, and it blew people’s mind when they learned how easy it was. It’s just now, no one cares, and I don’t even know if 2600 is still a thing. I spent a lot of time on IRC…
My high school computer science teacher made us watch this movie in her sweet old lady attempt at enlightening us to the future. Even back then in like 99-00 I thought this movie was cheesey as fuck
Jesus. This was interesting because Culkin…but this other guy is an absolutely horrible interviewer. He was so unbelievably awkward and cringe-worthy that this was a bit hard to watch at times. I get that maybe that’s his thing, but come on. I feel like Culkin was able to hold the whole thing together and help the poor guy out just because he’s so experienced in interviews himself.
.
Edit: Apparently others did not agree. I’m sorry, I wish nothing but the best for the interviewer. I just didn’t like his style of interviewing, I’m not into the whole “acting awkward for the sake of comedic effect” thing.
Love those guys! Especially the best of the worst episodes
I loved the Halloween one with him just sitting in the back taking notes.
I love this movie have seen it multiple times plus Hackers 2 and Hackers 3 ( antitrust )
Hack Frauds review Hackers
Jack and Mack actually turned out to be a great episode.
HACK THE PLANET!
I watch this movie a few times a year. Its not good but I can’t help it. I love it.
Just want to say that the band Urban Dance Squad is featured playing “Good Grief” in this movie and it’s a complete banger.
Anyone who likes Rage Against The Machine’s music then listen to their precursor.
RLM is among the best content on youtube, neat to see em here.
Check out their Best of the Worst series, it’s a lot of fun: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCmolso_LrQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCmolso_LrQ)
Best soundtrack ever. I love this movie and it’s one of my favorites of all time.
Haven’t seen Mac since those pretty shocking photos of him years back. Dude looks nice and healthy!

Ok we get you two seasoned thespians don’t like the movie, but do you have to go full douchebag on it? Geez
nb4 Macaulay Culkin’s megabitz is haxor’d

Watching Succession I wish McCauley was in it instead of his brother they both could of played that role.
Angelina Jolie is at her most beautiful in Hackers.
His mannerisms of speech I find disturbing like uncanny valley

I don’t care how incorrect, cheezy, and dated this movie is, I love it to pieces. There is no such thing as seeing this movie too many times.

And that’s why they call me Stallion.
Will always love this movie.
if mike was in this episode he would have pointed out that jolie looks like fucking T’Pol in this movie

Hackers is one of my favorite movies of all time.
One of the greatest films ever. One of the greatest film soundtracks ever.
