from Rewind or Die – Cult Movies, Trash Cinema, and Deep Dives

WE DID IT. We watched Snake Plissken SURF a radioactive tsunami, play DEATH BASKETBALL, survive Steve Buscemi in a cowboy hat, and EMP the ENTIRE PLANET because he got annoyed.This is our full-throttle, off-the-rails, absolutely unhinged breakdown of Escape from L.A., the 1996 cult sequel that said, “What if we made New York again but greasier, louder, and somehow even more insane?”In this episode:Snake gets betrayed by EVERY SINGLE PERSON, including the U.S. government, Map to the Stars Eddie, and maybe the ghost of Peter Fonda.We break down Cuervo Jones: the DIET COKE of dictators.Death Basketball gets the deep analysis it deserves (yes, we build fantasy rosters. Yes, Gary Busey is on them).We spiral into a full-on 1996 flashback and scream about Muggsy Bogues and Space Jam.Steve tries to get us back on track, fails.Jeff admits he accidentally funded Jack instead of seeing this movie and we don’t let him forget it.PLUS:An emotional tribute to John Carpenter’s 1990s era (yes, including Memoirs of an Invisible Man).An actual ranking of Carpenter’s best films, from The Thing to Ghosts of Mars.We prep for our next miniseries: the Late-Stage Gene Hackman Era. It’s happening. We’re starting with The Firm.And Thursdays? Yeah, we’ve got surprise mini episodes coming. They’re called Rewind or Die: Shorts. And they’re chaos in a can.By the end, we’re tired, confused, deeply moved… and trusting NO ONE.This episode EMPs the world. And presses 666 on the remote. Join us.
