A Theater Near You Episode 65: Escape From New York

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to A Theater Near You.

I am your host, Chris Randazzo, and joining me tonight is totally not Solid Snake, Sean Doyle.

Wait,

aren't you dead? And microscopic capsule lodged in your artery, Paul Giroux.

Call

me Snake.

This month, we covered the letter E, and we went with my pick, Escape from New York.

Does this Kurt Russell classic represent an accurate portrayal of the year 1997? Let's find out.

But first...

That's exactly how I remember 1997.

Yeah, we were just rewatching a piece of this upstairs, and it's shocking, like, how spot on.

I mean, just the chandelier cars.

You couldn't swing a dead cat.

Yeah.

Only thing they got wrong was the size of the cell phones.

Exactly, yeah.

The size of the cell phones was definitely off.

But really, all things considered,

97

2T.

I

have something

to say about that, but should we wait for the movie? Will we talk about the movie? I don't

know.

Let's check in with our usual nonsense before we get down to business, because I'm sure there's plenty of stuff to say.
