Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1998 cyberpunk thriller, Pi – written/directed by Darren Aronofsky; starring Sean Gullette, Mark Margolis, and Ben Shenkman.

A paranoid mathematician searches for a key number that will unlock the universal patterns found in nature.

I watched Pi on VHS back when I was in college in the late-90s and it changed my entire outlook. It is the film that made me want to become a filmmaker and Darren Aronofsky was my new favorite director. When I first went to Boston University, I wanted to go into sports broadcasting, I thought I was going to be on ESPN or WFAN and being a sports journalist. Well, I saw this movie, and the rest is history. It was unlike any other movie I had ever seen. It was indie-rock cyberpunk. It was black and white. It was dangerous. It was experimental. It was guerilla DIY. It was fucking awesome.

So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!
