How to Survive: Escape from New York (1981)

It's episode 156 - and you now have the option to terminate and be cremated on the premises... In Escape from New York (1981), New York City has been turned into a prison, with giant walls keeping prisoners locked inside. Anyone who goes in may never come out, and the city is run by criminals - which is bad news for the US President, who has become stranded in the city - and for Snake Plissken, the disgraced Special Ops soldier sent in to save him.  We talk about sane approaches to data protection; the benefits of open sharing of information; and (of course) the correct way to structure any effective team. Whatever happens, one things for sure: We, the soldiers of The National Liberation Front of America, in the name of the workers and all the oppressed of this imperialist country, have struck a fatal blow to the fascist police state. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world. Next week, another John Carpenter classic, with They Live (1988).
