When we revisited Judge Dredd for the podcast, we couldn\'t help but notice how much of it seemed like a less successful version of Demolition Man. Since then, we\'ve been anxious to rewatch this one to see how accurate that assessment was.

"Prescient" is not a word you\'d expect to use when describing one of Stallone\'s overblown early 90s blockbusters, but it turns out Demolition Man is full of surprises.\\xa0

Topics include: the film\'s origins as a fairly straightforward sci-fi movie and how it evolved into a more satirical (and action-heavy) look at the future, a key subplot that was removed from the final cut, the unintended confusion caused by its absence, why the final act doesn\'t quite live up to the promise of the first 2/3, some unusual alternate casting choices, Stallone\'s intentions to develop a sequel, and more!
