WarGames (1983): Fincher Tangents, Demon Slayers, and Cold War Nerds

This week on NAFC, Izzy’s late—but that doesn’t stop Gibbs and Mox from going deep. Gibbs kicks things off with a full-on rant about David Fincher’s The Game and why it might be the original gaslight simulator. Mox and Gibbs also continue their running obsession with Alien Earth, throwing around more speculation than science.

Once Izzy finally rolls in, he brings fresh takes on Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1—yes, it’s hype, yes, people cried, and yes, scalpers are still the worst.

The crew closes things out with their review of WarGames (1983), the Cold War classic that asks: what if a teenage hacker accidentally started World War III with a dial-up modem?
