On this Episode, Ryan Moran tells about his experience at Spartan's “Death Race”. He tells us how he trained for the race, how the race started, and what gear was required to start with. We talk about all the different tasks that took place over the 50+ hour event that only had 3 Finishers. A-lot of ice cold water submersions ! If you're thinking about doing this race, or curious about an extreme endurance event, you definitely want to check it out!

Welcome to the OCR Underground Show.  Your best resource to training tips to crush your next obstacle course race.  As always this episode is packed with strategies for smarter ocr training.   In this episode, I recap my first Spartan Race of the year in San Bernadino, CA.  It was a fun race and excited to get back into it.  My research review discuss different strategies for improving your pull ups.  Obviously being better at pull ups is a huge advantage in many obstacles.  See how these different techniques held up.   In the Inside Mike's Mind segment I discuss some of the principles of training.  These aren't philosophies or suggestions.  These principles are the law of training and if you aren't considering them you are missing out in how your training can better help you improve.  And finally I chat with Coach Gary Lombardo.  Gary was previously on the show for episode 54.  Gary is no stranger to endurance events.  From Iron Man, to Ultras, to high altitude expeditions, Gary has done it all and helped others push their limits for endurance.  Gary is participating in the upcoming Winter Death Race and share his training to prep for it.  Plus he shares some tips for taking on more endurance based activities if you are ready to step up your racing.   All this and much more in today's show.   Today's episode is sponsored by The Amino Co.

Hawk raves about Death Race, Ben Leber shares some survival tips, Adam Thielen calls in to talk about the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs

Any race has the potential to turn into a death race, but one in which Silvester Stallone races a turbo charged fair ground ride against a Neo-Nazi, a naked lady and man who's sexual deviance will ultimately cost him his life has a higher potential than most. Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000 explores a world in which sport has evolved into knocking down pedestrians for points in a race across the U.S.A. It's crass and its bombastic and its incredibly entertaining, but it is NOT A HORROR FILM. Serious, why are we even discussing this one!? Tune in to this episode of 100 Horrors to find out!

David Carradine POPS THE CLUTCH again in Paul Bartel's follow-up to Death Race 2000, which features a cross-country race full of oddballs competing for a huge cash prize. Featuring an awesome cast of recognizable faces (Mary Woronov! Gerrit Graham! Robert Carradine! DICK MILLER! Joe Dante!) and even more awesome cameos (Martin Scorsese eating KFC with Bartel and Sylvester Stallone), it's a sometimes shaky, but always entertaining, collection of comedy, musical numbers (?) and car stunts. Find out how it all came together on this brand new episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD.

Our Wacky Races series continues with its nastiest entry... but maybe its most cerebral? ... with the Roger Corman/Paul Bartel drive-in classic, DEATH RACE 2000.

Er is al veel gezegd en geschreven over de al dan niet heilzame effecten van games. Sommigen beweren dat je ze beter links laat liggen omdat je er dom, lui of zelfs agressief van wordt. Anderen beweren dan weer dat games niets dan goeds te bieden hebben. Dr. Rowan Daneels is game-onderzoeker aan de Universiteit Antwerpen en komt je uitleggen dat het antwoord waarschijnlijk ergens in het midden ligt.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For our third episode, we're continuing to celebrate the month of October with some SPOOOOKY commentaries. Usually, we review a movie through its commentary but this week is something a bit different. Instead of reviewing a movie, we're reviewing the audio commentary itself. What commentary is it? One of the best (if not THE best) "Jaws" rip-offs: "The Car", featuring director Elliot Silverstein and Arrow Video producer Callum Waddel.  It's one of the most awkward things I've ever beheld and I have to share it with you. (Please don't sue me, Arrow.)How much can a member of the old guard stonewall the new generation cinema bros? Why would you keep recording a commentary if your subject is in direct opposition to it? How does someone admit their film is a "Jaws" rip-off and then deny it minutes later?The answers to these questions and more await you when you press play!Ryan's Recommendations: "Death Race 2000" (1975), "Gone in Sixty Seconds" (1974), and "Christine" (1983)For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcastTheme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).

Joe De Sena is CEO and Founder of Spartan and the Death Race, NYT Best Selling Author. Possibly the most hardcore individual on the planet, Joe describes every part of his life and every torturous routine he put himself and the people around him through. It's pretty incredible. Consistency being the key. Pulling his kids out of bed at 5 am every morning, having a live-in Kung-Fu master to teach his kids, doing a triathlon, and deciding to do the swimming portion even though he wasn't supposed to because he hadn't worked hard enough. That's just a shred of ridiculous things he and Jen talked about in this episode, but he gets results. You'll have to listen to hear how he and his kids' lives have benefitted from the strictness, and how he used that mentality to build his Spartan races from the ground up. Give it a listen.Youtube Link to This EpisodeJoe's Website - https://joedesena.com/Joe's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/realjoedesena/

Django Nudo and Smut Peddler get their Lederhosen on (proverbially) to celebrate the best of German vintage smut. But first they toast Cultpix's 888th title, the favourite "Death Race 2000" (1975). Not just ooompha-oompha music, but some catchy tunes for this week's celluloid Kraut fest. The Kronhausens x 2:Sexologists Dr Eberhard and Dr Phyllis Kronhausen are Germany's 'white coaters' that give education respectability to scenes of sex and smut in two films. "Freedom to Love" (1969) looks at  lesbianism, illegal abortion, swing clubs and Hugh Hefner; while  "Sex Freedom in Germany" (1970) also features pornographers Owalt Kolle and Beate Uhse. The Sylt Connection x 2The island of Sylt as a film subject is an excuse for lots of nakedness. "Naked and Free" (1971) not only includes naked Fräulines, but also spliced inserts of  Jake La Motta and Rocky Graziano! "Ready, Willing & Able" (1971) is about a Miss Sylt contest (clothing not required) at the Eden Playboy Club. Costume films x 3Historic and literary settings were a great excuse for boobies on display. "How to Play the Seduction Game" (1970) is a historic sex comedy loosely based on Werner Zibaso's French classic. "Teach Me" (1972) is a series of erotic vignettes about the sexploits of Lieutenant Ferdinand with Christine Schuberth and Astrid Boner [sic!] It has a weirdly contemporary poster and international titles such as "Ferdinand - tjuren som inte ville" (Sweden) and "The Games Schoolgirls Play" (USA). In "The Sinful Bed" (1973) we hear from the bed about the romping it has experienced over the ages. A good double bill with Mac Ahlberg's "The Bed" (1965). The Sweden Connection x 3"Daughters of Joy" (1968) is a period piece (of ass) in the 'Sexy Susan' (Frau Wirtin) series with Teri Tordai in the lead and also starring Harald Leipnitz from Swedish sex comedy "Do You Believe in Swedish Sin?" (1970). "Moonlighting Mistress" (1971) is the strangely translated title of the German original "I Slept with My Murderess". "The Erotic Adventures of Hansel and Gretel" (1970) had punny international titles such as "Hans og Grete i den forsexede skov" (Denmark), "Hands off Gretel!" (UK), "The Naked Wytche" (USA) and weird one like "Gymni se mia Rolls Royce" (Greece) and"Favole calde... per svedesi bollenti" (Italy), even though nothing Swedish about the sexy Grimm fairytale.OthersAlso "The Love Keys" (1971), "Massage Parlor '73" (1972), "Office Girls" (1972), "Run Virgin Run" (1973) and "All Around Service" (1974).

Join Haymarket Books, and NACLA for a discussion of how to resist the conservative attacks on higher education From Brazil to Puerto Rico to the United States, conservative politicians have set their sights on schools as key ideological battlegrounds. And when vulnerable students and scholars are targeted for their identities and/or politics, universities often fail to protect them for fear of alienating donors or powerful political allies. What can we do to fight back and protect one another?

TW: child sexual abuse by a parent In "The Witch Who Came from the Sea" (1976), written by Robert Thom and directed by Matt Cimber, Molly (Millie Perkins) confronts her childhood trauma in unsettling and destructive ways. Through flashbacks and conversations with her sister, Cathy (Vanessa Brown), we learn that the sea captain father Molly idolizes was actually an abusive piece of shit. Unable to acknowledge the reality of her childhood, Molly creates a fictional world in her head that begins to splinter when her own violent impulses take form. Based on the poster and the film's video nasty status, I expected something titillating that favors style over substance. Instead, I got a character-driven meditation on the downsides of trying to compartmentalize abuse. Here are some things we mentioned during the episode and/or that we think you should check out: April Wolfe's article in Film Comment Louis Black's overview on writer Robert Thom in The Austin Chronicle Stories about the Boathouse restaurant on the Santa Monica Pier. Sadly, the spot is now a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Overview on Peggy Fleury AKA Doris on Corey Parker's blog. It includes several PDFs from print publications that can't be easily found elsewhere. Kim Newman's history of video nasties article in BFI Assorted fun facts that we didn't get to mention: Matt Cimber is the co-creator and director of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW) professional wrestling promotion and syndicated television series (the OG, not the Netflix show). Robert Thom wrote the scripts for four of the most significant and best of the drive-in exploitation movies: 1968's “Wild in the Streets” (Barry Shear), 1970's “Bloody Mama” (Roger Corman), 1975's “Death Race 2000” (Paul Bartel), and 1975's “Crazy Mama” (Jonathan Demme). Young Molly (Verkina Flower) and Molly's dad (George 'Buck' Flower) were played by real life father and daughter. George ‘Buck' Flower was also the casting director and known for playing a lot of drunk/homeless roles. He previously worked with Matt Cimber on “The Candy Tangerine Man” (1975) and had a cameo in almost every ‘80s John Carpenter movie. Verkina Flower went on to act in other drive-in exploitation films but then started working more steadily as a costume designer. Notably, she was a wardrobe supervisor for a few episodes of Nickelodeon's “All That” in the early aughts. The Boathouse restaurant was also featured in “Funny Girl” (1968), “They Shoot Horses, Don't They?” (1969), “The Sting” (1973), “Forrest Gump” (1994) and “The Majestic” (2001).

Sean tries to rack up as many points as he can mowing down pedestrians in the Death Race 2000 (1975), a satiric, dystopian futuristic racing movie produced by Roger Corman and directed by Paul Bartel (so you can be sure Mary Woronov is in the cast). Sylvester Stallone also co-stars as a team of racers who try to beat top scorer Frankenstein (David Carradine) in a trans-continental death race. Listen as we careen off the road into sidebars about bare-assed acting scenes, propaganda clones, Looney Tunes, and the practicality of "wetting it down" down on this week's exciting episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Or: "Drive of Frankenstein" Hosts Brandon and Charlie burn rubber through the sleaziest movie to hit the Dadcore Canon yet: Death Race 2000. It's a real true Corman Classic, with all the low budget thrills you expect like gory deaths and... Looney Tunes gags?

We're joined by Taylor Stark of Witch Hunt Theatre to talk about their immersive horror theatre experiences. And, we get some hints about our pending Death Race! Plus, a quick chat on She-Hulk episode 1. Sponsored by - Guardian Games –  Reverend Nat's Cider - Song by Megathruster

Sign up now for the Death Race! This week the Ladies watched the bloody prison car fight that was Death Race. We discussed lava factories, hot criminal women, and celebrated a much better film, Jlo's “Marry Me.” As Coach says straight to camera, “I love this game!” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Paul Bartel POPS THE CLUTCH and brings the world the gory sci-fi satire DEATH RACE 2000 in 1975, a box office smash that remains a popular (and influential) exploitation film and a jewel in Roger Corman's New World Pictures catalogue. On this episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD we look at how the film came to be, the difficulties in filming (including David Carradine nearly being replaced by Lee Majors!), and the enduring legacy of the film. FRANKENSTEIN SCORES! 

Joe De Sena is currently the CEO of Spartan.  Before this he built a multimillion-dollar pool and construction business while in college, and he created a Wall Street trading firm.  It was after his successful career on Wall Street that he moved his family to Vermont to operate an organic farm and a bed and breakfast.  It was here that his passion for ultramarathons, endurance events, and adventure races began. Along with all of this, Joe is also an author of three books.  He is a man who has worn many hats, but has found his passion in bringing people together for fitness and to overcome obstacles.  He's all about being better today than you were yesterday, and he lives up to that ideal on a daily basis.

Joe De Sena is the CEO and founder of Spartan and the Death Race. He is also a NY Times best-selling author of Spartan Up, Spartan Fit and The Spartan Way. In this episode, we touch on Joe's story and what drives him, as well as how he is taking action to harden our next generation of kids.

Politicians, government officials, business leaders, and public-health professionals were unprepared for the most devastating pandemic in a century. Many of the world's biggest drug and vaccine makers were slow to react or couldn't muster an effective response. It was up to a small group of unlikely and untested scientists and executives to save civilization. A French businessman dismissed by many as a fabulist. A Turkish immigrant with little virus experience. A quirky Midwesterner obsessed with insect cells. A Boston scientist employing questionable techniques. A British scientist despised by his peers. Far from the limelight, each had spent years developing innovative vaccine approaches. Their work was met with skepticism and scorn. By 2020, these individuals had little proof of progress. Yet they and their colleagues wanted to be the ones to stop the virus holding the world hostage. They scrambled to turn their life's work into life-saving vaccines in a matter of months, each gunning to make the big breakthrough—and to beat each other for the glory that a vaccine guaranteed.
