Blaine DowlerHOST
He gave us the original Little Shop of Horrors.
Blaine DowlerHOST
He gave us the original Death Race 2000.
Blaine DowlerHOST
So as a private collection, he had one of the biggest private collections known to film.
Blaine DowlerHOST
with the 35, 8, 16, and 70 millimeter projectors running in his home.
TylerHOST
Marjo pulls up.
TylerHOST
His car, I mean, this car is, like, a Death Race 2000 car.
TylerHOST
Yeah.
SeanHOST
And he's dressed like Donald Sutherland in Don't Look Now.
BrianHOST
Right.
BrianHOST
So I think we're definitely going to talk about that this episode of like, what does it mean when the thing that you're aspiring to is to punch somebody in the face and get better at being punched in the face? And actually, I bring up Thrash because before it clicked in my head in that split second that we had covered boxing movies before, I was thinking of a movie that we watched called Death Race 2000, which featured a young Sylvester Stallone before he was Rocky.
BrianHOST
Before he was Sylvester Stallone, because this was kind of his breakout movie.
BrianHOST
And I was reading this week about the genesis of Rocky, kind of where it came from and how it was a script by Sylvester Stallone.
Jack GuignolHOST
But Wagner thought that 2000 AD needed more of like a tough cop figure, right? Like something more along those lines, like crime and punishment, right? So, Carlos Azcara was given the task of visualizing Judge Dredd.
Jack GuignolHOST
Wagner gave him an advertisement for the movie Death Race 2000 as, like, a point of inspiration.
Jack GuignolHOST
And I think you can definitely still see that in Judge Dredd's now iconic look.
Jack GuignolHOST
And there was a lot of rewriting that went into Dredd's first appearance.
Tenebrous KateHOST
So the dialed back violence was, I think, maybe the most shocking thing to me.
Tenebrous KateHOST
And, you know, I think that kind of set the tone.
Tenebrous KateHOST
Death Race 2000, a thousand percent that checks out.
Tenebrous KateHOST
And I think maybe that's why I was hoping for more like Americana, because, man, is there a more Americana movie than Death Race 2000? Like that's like the Planet Motherfucker version of Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Aaron KnowlesHOST
[laughs]
Sean WellsHOST

Aaron KnowlesHOST
Yeah.
Sean WellsHOST
Yeah.
Nicholas Don SmithGUEST
Oh,
Greg OrmeHOST
and Paul Bartel, who directed Death Race 2000, which she's in.
Greg OrmeHOST
And then she pops up in a bunch of Roger Corman movies, usually playing like a stern dominatrix or like authority figure.
Greg OrmeHOST
Like she's the evil principal in rock and roll high school.
TravisHOST
Low budget, then everyone tries their hardest and gives it their all, with the glorious bigger picture being a production based on passion, humor, camaraderie, and most of all, fun.
TravisHOST
Classic examples include The Evil Dead Part II, Death Race 2000, and Soylent Green.
TravisHOST
As for Bloodcar, the situation is reversed.
TravisHOST
The producers have only a business model in mind.
Kenny McMillanHOST
Uh, you know, after baseball's done or whatever, it's movie time.
Kenny McMillanHOST
And they put on, um, uh, Death Race 2000.
PJ DillonGUEST
Okay.
PJ DillonGUEST

speaker_0HOST
He is, isn't he? He pops up a lot.
speaker_0HOST
He's actually a good director.
Jamie MatheyHOST
And I, there are two sessions of each of those games that are currently something you could sign up for flat con.
Jonathan ParrottHOST
So bring the same mattresses that you had in kindergarten where you took a nap so that you can lay on the floor and play a game that could only be described as if Mad Max met Death Race 2000 met.
Jonathan ParrottHOST
What's another? Oh, twisted metal.
Jonathan ParrottHOST
We'll say that that's going to be a little bit
