Whoa

If you’re going to validate your cult pop culture bona fides, this is how you do it. A new trailer for Necrophone Games’Jazzpunkhas been released by Adult Swim, referencing the 1995 motion pictureJohnny Mnemonicin a live-action sketch. There is so much visual information and so many little nods to other media (including a BBS “Door Game” bit which had me in stitches) that you’ll probably want to give this three or four views to fully digest.

Jazzpunkreleases on February 7 and I’m expecting to be doing a lot of laughing that day.
