Join us as we return to John Carpenter, this time earlier in his career, with 1981's "Escape from New York." Starring Kurt Russel (the first time they worked together), Lee Van Cleef, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, Ernest Borgnine and Harry Dean Stanton, the movie transports us to the bleak future of....1997. As a group of millennials we can't disagree. We discuss the muddled politics of Carpenter in comparison to some of his later films, its misanthropic underpinnings, and how Snake Plissken doesn't count as an anti hero because he doesn't count as a hero at all.

This week we are joined by Alex and Rusteen of the Andorks Pod, a weekly Andor pocast, to discuss Bong Joon Ho's "Okja." We discuss the shortcomings of releasing movies straight to streaming, how veganism is a liberal ideology and of course a little bit of Andor.

Honestly, there was a way more in depth show description but the internet ate it and I had to rewrite it and I just don't have the brain power to remember what I wrote last time. It's a good episode though!

The highest grossing film made for under 1 million dollars since 1973's "Enter The Dragon", Curry Barker's directorial debut "Obsession," starring Inde Navarrette, Michael Johnston, Cooper Tomlinson, and Megan Lawless (as well as a special appearance by Andy Richter), has proven that people still want to go to the movies. As long as the movie is worth watching. Join us as we discuss the breakout hit's comprehensive dismantling of the "nice guy", incels, the importance and reality of consent, and the seemingly innumerable viewers that missed the point of this film entirely.
