Episode #35: Tributary – Anon

Welcome listeners new and old (not physically) to our first Tributary cast!  A Tributary cast is a review of a movie only available on a streaming service such as Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Prime, etc. This week Matt and Mike review a Netflix original Sci-Fi thriller Anon.  It is a fun trippy technology filled look into a dystopian future where privacy flat out doesn’t exist.  The guys dive deep on this topic, they both love tech but also see the coming storm and the end of privacy or what little we have left.  They also discuss augmented reality versus virtual reality and how close they are to becoming everyday tech.  Mike gets Matt going again about the death of MoviePass especially with their developments, price changes, and lack of blockbuster films new releases.  Things continue off topic for a bit with chat about TCL televisions, Roku vs Apple TV vs Fire Stick, and what is the best device to stream movies on.  Last but not least they guys discuss their new partnership with Prescott Valley based news organization SignalsAZ.com and how you can where you can find our podcast on their site.

Anon is a must-see thriller if you are into detective movies and technology.  Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried do a fantastic job. The sets are dark and gritty and the graphic overlays are just amazing!  Matt loved this movie he gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.  Mike enjoyed the film as well but like always he is more critical then Matt.  He gives Anon 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Storyline from IMDB

In a near-future world where there is no privacy, ignorance or anonymity, our private memories are recorded and crime almost ceases to exist. In trying to solve a series of unsolved murders, SAL FRIELAND (Owen) stumbles onto a young woman (Seyfried) who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realizes it may not be the end of crime but the beginning. Known only as THE GIRL, she must be found before Sal becomes the next victim.
