Nearly New World: John Carpenter's Escape From New York

We continue with #SciFiJuly Presents #DystopianSummer with a
Nearly New World that is very close to the hearts of (most of)
the hosts of this show: John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.
No, this was not released by New World Pictures, but, fret not,
we will explain how we fit into our Nearly New World
series. 

Will the hosts gush about the movie? Yes! Will they offer
criticisms? Kind of, a little! They will also discuss  why
this movie is so important to (most of) them,  offer their
own Letterboxd synopses, and of course, compare the original to
ESCAPE FROM L.A. 

Will Henry Thomas ever listen to this show after this? Doubtful!
But you can listen to every episode and follow along with the
#DystopianSummer here:
