Climb out of the deep freeze because it\u2019s time for another B-movie bonus episode! This time around, Steven and Sean are hunting down the baddest mo-fo with bleached blond hair of all time in the Marco Brambilla film, Demolition Man.
What a tour de force \u201890s action film! Could there be a more perfect movie for trying times or any time? We think not! I mean, c\u2019mon, we\u2019ve got an ultra-violent bad guy and the police officer who\u2019s sworn to track down and stop him both waking up in a non-violent future after being frozen for killing people in the past. A future that\u2019s also completely filled with Taco Bells!
If that doesn\u2019t make you want to turn this one on and watch all of it right this second, we don\u2019t know what will.
We think this is a B-movie at its finest. It\u2019s got strangely compelling characters that you want to root for and against, it\u2019s got more explosions than a fireworks display gone terribly wrong, and it\u2019s got seashells to clean yourself after using the bathroom.
(As a quick aside, what the heck were those all about? Steven has his theories, but they\u2019re still a possibly horrifying mystery.)
We don\u2019t want to totally give away our final verdict about this film here in the show notes, but we do want to say how thrilled we were to see a mid-\u201890s movie that still holds up on the sound design and cinematography fronts. This may be one of the more ridiculous (in the best way) films we\u2019ve seen, but that doesn\u2019t mean the production wasn\u2019t excellent. In fact, it was top notch!
To close this out, as always, be well.
