Watch this movie, listen to the podcast, then ask yourself these questions:
- Why didn’t they just bomb the island in the first place? They wanted the daughter dead and the weapon destroyed. There was no need to send in Plissken.
- Isn’t L.A. already the mecca for the morally depraved? Oh wait, that’s Las Vegas. My bad.
- If it was just the flu, then why was Plissken such a f**king p*ssy about it?
- Where can I get one of those Alternate Reality machines the president’s daughter was using? And, can I get it with the Che Guevara look alike already programmed into it?
- What side is Map to the Stars Eddie really trying to trick? He seems to screw everyone over and not get a single thing out of it. He lives in a shack for God’s sake!
- How does one leap from a massive tsunami-caused tidal wave onto a moving Cadillac using only the lift generated from a wounded leg?
- If all it takes is an earthquake to occur, and then we abandon every aspect of our society, what would happen if there was a massive volcano?
- What lives underneath Plissken’s eye patch? A squirrel?
Enjoy!
