We know you may be sick of hearing about Trump’s first 100 days in office so take your mind off current affairs as we discuss the ‘Escape From….’ series , set in a dystopian future where authoritarian demagogue presidents wall off undesirables. *Allen and Chris look to camera*
In this episode we discuss:
Kurt Russell’s hair
The aristocracy
Great casting
Wonderfully named characters we never see
John Carpenter’s great films
Was Escape From LA ahead of it’s time?
And Snake Plissken’s view on trans rights!
Remind yourself of the films here:
