This month on “Talking Technophobia in Film,” we pour some dry martinis and search for secret agents in space, with the 1979 James Bond film, Moonraker. We touch upon the transformative & subversive elements of technology, the ethical uncertainties of the spy genre, and the Star-Wars-ification of cinema. Some themes will include the “redemptive power of love,” “human ingenuity,” and what happens when social critiques become a gimmick.
