Welcome to the Retroist WarGames Podcast. On today’s show I start off by talking about how lucky I feel to have had early computer influences in my life. Computer got me through my formative years and have served me well as an adult. Then I move onto a film that I found very influential, WarGames. I talk about the movie, how it got started, its cast, and of course its early influence on computer culture.
I have some fantastic news for all you list enthusiasts out there. Metagirl is back, and she's brought us the top 5 list of the best computer-inspired movies. Will WarGames make the cut? Well, you'll have to tune in to find out! (Hint: It might get awkward if it doesn't.)
I have watched this film countless times and I never get tired of rewatching it. I hope that after listening to the podcast you will check it out.
