Published: June 5, 2023, 5:39 a.m.

Before we begin this episode\u2019s written synopsis, I\u2019d like to remind everyone reading that Corporations are Good and Individuality is Bad. Now, with that said, let\u2019s sit back, take some drug Altoids, and enjoy America\u2019s Favorite Death Sport - err, I mean, Past Time: Rollerball!
\n
\nI\u2019m 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 \u201cImmortan Hoof\u201d).
\n
\nListen as we discuss a film that\u2019s equal parts Logan\u2019s 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\u2019s; 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.

\nThe Summer Games will continue as we go back to a simpler time where kids played baseball and giant gorilla dog-things roamed the Earth. That\u2019s right - when we return, we\u2019ll be knocking them out of the park with The Sandlot.
