First 90 secondsPaul Scheer· Host0:00
What if cyberspace wasn't cyber at all and it was real? If that idea sounds super cool, then you're gonna be so excited that we saw Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace, AKA Job's War.
Speaker 10:19
Now it's time for How Did This Get Made? We're gonna have a good time, celebrate some failure, and not just be a hater, 'cause you know you wonder, how did this get made? Let's wallow in the mediocrity of subpar art. Perhaps we'll find the answer to the question, how did this get made?
Paul Scheer· Host0:37
Hello, people of Earth, and welcome to How Did This Get Made? I am tall Jon Shear and we are going back to the well of the Lawnmower Man. I guess going back to the mower. I don't know. Uh, we have a very fun, crazy way to start off the new year, and I know we already had one episode out, but this is the first episode we're recording in 2021, and, uh, what a way to start. Lawnmower Man 2, uh, what you have to know. Do you have to see the first movie to know the second movie? Uh, no, not at all. It almost seems like they were independently written. Uh, number two, I would say, what is this movie about? A synopsis of it would be hard [laughs] for me to parse out. Honestly, it's the first time I'm incredibly stumped about it. All I know is that a guy is in the internet and he's causing some problems, and I think government is involved.
