Back for his second episode of The NetFlakes Podcast, we welcome Edward Platero to help guide us through Kathryn Bigelow's prescient 1995 sci-fi thriller, Strange Days.

Twenty years later, the themes of virtual reality, technological ethics, and racially-charged tension with police all ring just as true now as they ever have.

We also celebrate Angela Bassett's Macey, the background-to-foreground protagonist whose ass-kicking is so inspiring it leads to riots and eventually a hope for racial harmony.
