Corrections: We said David edits braindances, when he actually just sells bootlegs to his classmates.
This episode of the Lore Axe we're looking at Netflix's 2022 series Cyberpunk Edgerunners. A show designed to help sell a video game that turns out to be pretty damn good. We look at the setting, the themes, and (as usual) the inherant nature of capitalism embedded in this flashy anime-like show.
From hubris to sci-fi dystopia, from dual-weilding shotguns to comparing Khalil to the BBC, from smashing Adams to cockney girlfriends, this episode has it all.
