Rollerball (1975)

Before we begin this episode’s written synopsis, I’d like to remind everyone reading that Corporations are Good and Individuality is Bad. Now, with that said, let’s sit back, take some drug Altoids, and enjoy America’s Favorite Death Sport - err, I mean, Past Time: Rollerball!I’m your host and Team Captain, Dave, and joining me as we try our best to avoid getting dragged into the path of an oncoming steel ball are fellow cinephiles and Rollerball veterans Ryan and Nick (aka “Immortan Hoof”).Listen as we discuss a film that’s equal parts Logan’s Run and Hunger Games (with a pinch of RoboCop thrown in); Ryan will detail his PTSD suffered by sitting through the Rollerball remake in the early 00’s; and finally, we wonder what other messed up things the Rich are up to as we watch them gleefully blow up trees with a rocket gun.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
