Each week on Cathode Ray Mission, video store nerds Randy & Will plumb the depths of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and all the other streaming services to find the best and worst of big-budget cinema blockbusters, direct-to-video cult favorites, and everything in between.
In the inaugural episode, Randy & Will watch Robert Mockler's 2017 debut thriller Like Me. Like Me follows Kiya (Addiison Timlin), a young woman who sets out on a crime spree that she broadcasts across social media. As Kiya's criminal acts draw awe and ire from across the internet, she feels the push to escalate the amount of abuse and humiliation she inflicts on her victims while desperately coming to terms with her own needs for some sort of meaningful emotional connection.
Randy & Will discuss style and substance, the direct to digital market, and Like Me's themes of isolation in a pre-pandemic world.
Like Me is available on Amazon Prime Video and Shudder streaming services.
