In the early 80s, people didn’t know New York was destined to become the paradise it is today with Disney musicals and the world’s biggest Olive Garden. They thought it might become a prison colony.
Kurt Russel stars as the monocular ass kicker Snake Plisskin who has to rescue the president from inside Prison Manhattan. Along the way a bunch of inexplicable stuff happens and while it doesn’t make a ton of sense, it’s certainly moody. Plus chandeliers for headlights.
Jake Johannsen, a comedian famous for appearing on Letterman more times than anybody else, joins us to talk about New York, John Carpenter, action movies, and as is standard for us, sex robots.
Great show as always. I think that the “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” is to come up with an idea that is hilarious or genius in concept but doesn’t work in practice. For example, “Nick of Time” the Johnny Depp movie that runs entirely in real time.
Great idea; poor execution.The only gas station in Manhattan that I know of is right at the border of 1st street and Houston.
As Jake mentioned, casting Disney Boy Kurt Russell as a Badass really blew people’s minds. It would be like casting Justin Timberlake in the remake today. Which is actually not a bad idea.
