Description

We kick off #SCI-FI-JULY Presents: Dystopian Summer with one of the all time classic Australian dystopian action films, 1986's DEAD END DRIVE IN.  Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring Ned Manning and Natalie McCurry, DEAD END DRIVE IN has everything you want from a movie set in a dystopian future - crazy car chases, crazier outfits and a drive in movie theater where you can get in, but you can't get out.

With a killer soundtrack and a wild set piece, it's hard not to love DEAD END DRIVE IN.  We were so excited to talk about this movie that we had to break away from our usual episode structure.  Why wait for "final questions" when we can ask throughout the episode?  We talk about unconventional workout routines, Marc's love of Pepsi (of course), the evolution of drive-in theater technology, fashion forward hairstyles and blanket issues.  This episode also holds the record for the most times we've said the word, "dystopian" in a single episode.

The New World Pictures Podcast is dedicated to every movie released by New World Pictures. Founded by the infamous Roger Corman, New World Pictures was responsible for the greatest genre films of the 1970's and 1980's.  Remember all those movies that lived proudly in the back isles of the video store?  Most of them were made by New World Pictures. From Death Race 2000 to Hellraiser and Piranha to Heathers. We talk about them all.  The things we loved and the things we hated along with the detailed history of each film's history and production. Some movies are great. Some are bad. All of them are New World Pictures.
