This week on black Black Girl Film Club, we do a deep dive into the dystopian near future of Upgrade (2018), a cyperpunk revenge tale directed by Leigh Whannell and starring Logan Marshall Green, Betty Gabriel, Harrison Gilbertson, and Melanie Vallejo. In this episode, we try to understand what it would be like to live in the kind of world where police drones and implanted identification codes are commonplace, body mods are reserved for the military, and disability seems to be nonexistent (or readily "curable"). What kinds of tech does the movie think we should we be afraid of and is this world worth saving? Our recommendations: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Prometheus (2012), Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Masterpiece Society (S5E13).
