Hacker Movies Series Episode 6

What the eyes see, and the ears hear, the mind calls Hollywood BS

Hugh Jackman retracts his adamantium claws to clack on a computer keyboard and help John Travolta steal a government slush fund in the cyber thriller Swordfish. But is producer Joel Silver (Matrix) and mis-director Dominic Sena (Gone In 60 Seconds) making more “unredeemable shit” with their portrayal of hackers as ripped action stars getting BJs while cracking firewalls and riding buses hung from helicopters? And how exactly do Halle Berry’s boobs factor into the heist?  You don’t need to crash a Hummer to get the answers. Donate to support Now Playing Podcast and listen now!
