I tried squeezing something apt in the title line (ie. why I'm posting this in PPR). The title is: Talking Cyberpunk Films: A Top 10 | Miguel Conner and it's a Rune Soup episode from this week.
There's probably a lot we could say about our present moment and science fiction, they're hitting the cyberpunk angle and particularly thinking about dystopias as well as really saying a lot about the Gnostic elements that are within cyberpunk and thinking about Gnosticism in the old fashion religious sense but also in terms of a sociological frame. Interesting discussion and yes - they do a side-by-side Top 10 of their favorite movies in the genre.
