Escape from New York (1981) [Part 1] f/CoolRogRox

2020 is here, and as we kick off the new decade, it's time to
tackle the amazing run of films that characterized John
Carpenter's most successful decade of moviemaking. Guest co-host
CoolRogRox joins Chris and Nick for the first half of our
wide-ranging discussion of Escape from New
York, the movie that introduced the world to Kurt
Russell's all-time-great action antihero Snake Plissken. This
week, we touch on everything from the film's almost comically
bleak depiction of dystopian future America to its amazing poster
art, innovative visual effects, classic supporting characters,
and much, MUCH more. Strap on your favorite eyepatch, keep an eye
out for landmines, and give it a listen!
