Episode 126 - The Machine Girl

What is a girl to do after losing her parents (who may or may not have been murderers), and her brother? Become the devil and go on a quest for vengeance. If she happens to lose her arm in the process? Just stick a big freakin' gun on what's left of it. This week we recap The Machine Girl, the 2008 Japanese slasher that is drenched in fake blood and... tempura?

The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
