We’ve laced up for another week of movie magic, and this episode is packed with throwbacks, witticisms, and everything Robert Redford. On the latest episode of Trees in Space, Jason and Nate take on the 1992 hacker heist comedy-thriller, Sneakers. From its legendary cast to its very ‘90s depiction of tech, we cracked open what makes this cult classic (and maybe the occasional Volkswagen) tick.Here’s what you’ll uncover in this episode:5 Keys You'll Learn This Week:
- What Sets “Sneakers” Apart: Get a breakdown of the plot and why this hacker heist stands out among other 90s thrillers.
- Why the Cast Has Us Geeking Out: Jason and Nate wax poetic about legends like Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd (in a role you might not expect), and a younger Ben Kingsley lookalike.
- Is It a Heist or a Laugh Attack? The hosts debate if “Sneakers” lands as a true thriller or if it’s more about clever one-liners and quirky team dynamics.
- Tech Talk – 90s Style: They question just how plausible the hacking and code-breaking tech really is, and whether you could, in fact, crawl through those drop ceilings (spoiler: don’t try this at the office).
- Nostalgia vs. New Eyes: Was this the “Ocean’s Eleven” before “Ocean’s Eleven”? How does it hold up decades later, and does the younger generation buy into the ‘92 hype?
