In this episode, Hack The Planet! The Best And Worst Hacker Movies Reviewed! Our regular programming has been hijacked to bring you a discussion on the best, and worst, hacker movies!

So boot up that modem, turn off the lights and enter the deepest darkest web of hacker forums, and try not to accidentally trigger thermonuclear war, as we explore this sometimes brilliant and sometimes bonkers sub-genre!
