Turbo Kid (2015)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris bike into the wasteland and discuss 2015's Turbo Kid, which just celebrated its tenth anniversary. Initially starting as a potential segment in The ABCs of Death, T is for Turbo, the directing team of Roadkill Superstars, turned the short into a full-length feature. Munro Chambers stars as The Kid, a survivor in the post-apocalypse who scavenges the wasteland on his BMX bike and is obsessed with a comic book superhero called Turbo Rider. He encounters a psychotically upbeat girl named Apple (Laurence Leboeuf) who immediately declares them best friends and tags along on his adventures, which eventually puts them in the path of the ruthless warlord Zeus (Michael Ironside) and his gang of warriors. Zach and Chris discuss the hilariously great idea of everyone riding bikes through the apocalypse, what factions were fighting in the war that caused the apocalypse, the ridiculous gore, the incredible synthwave score by Le Matos, and more. You can watch Turbo Kid on Prime Video, The Roku Channel, Fandango at Home, PlutoTV, and more. Next week, we're getting ooky and spooky with Addams Family Values as Wednesday Season 2, Part 2, debuts on Netflix. We want to hear your comments and feedback. Send them all to [email protected].
