In this episode of the show we are putting a bow on the February jaunt through 80s sci-fi dystopias with a John Carpenter double-header of Escape from New York and They Live. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Carpenter's love of westerns distilling into Escape, how Kurt Russell loved the character of Snake Plissken and based his performance on Clint Eastwood and how the movie has a scrappy feel of a prescient dystopia that took effort to create. We also talk about They Live and how its messaging has been thoroughly vindicated since its release, Roddy Piper as a stand-in for Kurt Russell, retro-futuristic production design of the world seen through the iconic sunglasses and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Campbell BurrowsHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

Arguably most famous for spawning the self-evolving Halloween franchise, John Carpenter is a true cinema maverick. Crossing genre boundaries usually adhered to strictly by competent craftspeople, Carpenter may represent a bygone figure in cinema; a true auteur. Carpenter's films bear an umistakable signature style. Carpenter was as at ease with sci-fi, The Thing and Escape From New York, as he was in mind benders like In The Mouth of Madness or even in romantic comedy, Starman. From his distinctive scores, which he often pens and performs, to his use of unglamorous stars, his clearly leftist anti-capitalist politics, and his ability to create cult classics like The Live! (a favourite of leftist academics). Azed and Tom dive deep into the Carpenter's oeuvre. And we also touch on the greatest moment in cinema history! Of course we speak of the premiere of Melania.

Welcome to another episode of Death Don't Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It's January, so that means it's time for our “Uncannuary” series! Where we cover movies that feature superheroes or vigilantes, either adapted from comics or created specifically for the big screen! In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and returning guest Matt Naughton discuss Pamela Anderson's somewhat infamous adaptation of the Dark Horse Comics anti-hero, Barb Wire!Heroic partial nudity! Conveniently-placed bubbles! Near-lethal stilettos! Great hero shots and abundant aura farming! Awkward and inconsistent narration! Disturbing cybernetic bikini torture! A blowgun disguised as a cigarette! A motorcycle with missiles! A club full of goths and gangsters! Several discussions about contact lenses! Shocking mockery of the obese and the blind community! Possibly the strangest Casablanca remake you've ever seen! Surprisingly decent stunts and chase scenes, including a climactic aerial battle! An interesting cast that includes Udo Kier in a silly wig, Lifeforce's Steve Railsback, Temuera Morrison, Xander Berkeley, Jack Noseworthy, Clint Howard, Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr., Victoria Rowell from Dumb & Dumber, and a committed Pamela Anderson as a slightly hotter Snake Plissken/Tom Cody-style hero doing spin kicks and shooting guns in black leather and high heels! A pulpy example of pure 90s sleaze that was merely a better script away from being a camp classic!In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Tron: Ares, Matt Damon & Ben Affleck's new crime thriller The Rip, the new Knives Out sequel Wake Up Dead Man, the dog-centric horror movie Good Boy, and some of his favorite recent action/martial arts movies: Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Ghost Killer, Bad City, and Baby Assassins 3!You can find Death Don't Do Fiction on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us a textThe gang celebrates their Season 5 finale with a real pisser, Escape From New York from 1981. Riddled with violence, gratuitous nudity, smoking, and Ernest Borgnine, this beauty is a true product of its time. The boys can hardly contain their joy as each wonderfully dirty scene is flushed out with pure guilty pleasure confidence. Inspired the ridiculously cast Donald Pleasence as the President, the boys discuss other movie presidents that make us wish real life could be more like the movies.

The dudes discuss Mermaid Man, Adrienne Barbeau, and Lee Van Cleef's earring. Oh, and they talk about ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.
In the lead-up to New York's mayoral election, many prominent Jewish New Yorkers came out against the eventual winner, Zohran Mamdani. Now that Mamdani has won, what do they do? How do they reconcile that a third of the city's Jews voted for someone who has spoken out against Israel? And how can they preach about unity when they already made clear they were taking sides? This is the topic of today's episode of Not in Heaven, inspired by a recent column in the Forward, titled, "I spoke out against Mamdani. Then he won. Here's how we walk forward together," by Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove. In it, the rabbi writes how found it "totally bewildering" that a third of Jewish voters voted for Mamdani. Our rabbinic podcasters dig into what that says about the shifting politics of North American Jews and how, if at all, our communities can stand together and be united.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 726! Barbara's back from New York and she's got plenty to say. Fresh off the 10th anniversaries of both WatchTime and WindUp, she... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #726 : Escape From New York … Watch Week appeared first on Scottish Watches.
In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Zeek Arkham to dissect the radical transformation of New York City under a Mayor Mamdani administration. They examine how socialist policies, a decline law enforcement morale, and blind party loyalty will drive the city toward chaos. From the erosion of education standards to the growing exodus of residents, Professor Giordano and Arkham reveal how ideology is replacing common sense and what it means for the future of urban America. Episode Highlights: Zeek Arkham and Professor Giordano expose how Mamdani's socialist agenda threatens NYC's safety, economy, and schools. Discussion on voter loyalty and the "vote blue no matter who" mentality that enables poor leadership. How the collapse of law enforcement morale and the removal of gifted programs will accelerate the city's decline.
Tracklist coming soon:
The election of Zohran Mamdani is unique on many levels, and none of them good. In June 2025, during an interview on the podcast The Bulwark, Mamdani was asked about the slogan “Globalize the Intifada”. Far from condemning it, he was in favor of it, describing it as a symbolic expression of “a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.” Considering there are more Jews in New York City than live in Tel Aviv, he's an interesting choice for mayor, wouldn't you say?“Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.” Isaiah 14:29 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, this is Day 2,061 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve and our end times activity meter is pinning the needle all the way to the right, pushing it to the breaking point. Cries of ‘escape from New York' threaten a mass exodus from the ‘greatest city in the world', as Mamdani comes out swinging in his first interview. He declared war on capitalism, on Republicans, on the rich, and on Donald Trump and all his voters. Speaking of MAGA, Republicans are at each other's throats with infighting, and the government shutdown just might end air travel as we know it. Tucker Carlson is now lowkey promoting white nationalism and antisemitism, and Poland is preparing to fight Russia in WWIII. Join us as we amp up the crazy and show you just how close we are to Flight #777 taking off.

The filmmaker John Carpenter has a whole shelf of cult classics: “They Live,” “The Thing,” “Escape from New York,” “Halloween,” and so many more. And while he hasn't directed a new movie in more than a decade, Carpenter has continued working in the film industry, composing scores for other directors (Bong Joon Ho recently approached him about a horror movie). He has also released albums of cinematic music—no film required—often working with his son, Cody Carpenter, and the musician Daniel Davies, his godson. The New Yorker Radio Hour producer Adam Howard talks with Carpenter ahead of the launch of his new small tour, just in time for Halloween, and they discuss the unusual shift he made from directing to composing. “It's a transition from pain to joy. Directing movies is very, very stressful,” Carpenter explains. “Playing music in front of a live audience—it's joy. It's just joy.” Carpenter suggests three inspirational scores from film history: Bebe and Louis Barron's electronic music for “Forbidden Planet”; Bernard Herrmann work on Hitchcock's “Vertigo”; and Hans Zimmer's music for “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.”
For the year 2025, we wanted to explore the directors who created the magical movie moments and see how these legendary directors left their stamp on cinematography for years to come.Intro Music: Fly Forward by YariThe Talkers:HoppocalypseItisdpaynehttps://twitch.tv/itisdpayne

First there was Escape From New York, and then came Escape From LA, and along the way, the world fell in love with Kurt Russell's iconic anti-hero Snake Plissken. Along the way, there were also multiple other stories about Snake's many adventures in both comic books, a novelization of the original film and a knock-off psuedo-sequel.

In this thought-provoking episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump revisits the gritty legacy of New York City through the lens of John Carpenter's Escape from New York and the recent Democratic primary upheaval. He dives deep into the election of Zoran Kwame Mamdani, a self-described socialist whose sweeping proposals, like rent control and prison releases, spark fresh questions about whether New York is sliding back into its infamous chaos. Matt unpacks the legendary Kitty Genovese murder, dissecting how the New York Times fabricated the infamous bystander narrative that branded the city as apathetic and doomed. He shows how this distorted reporting became a psychological weapon used to reshape public perception of urban life for decades. The discussion then pivots to cultural memories of 9/11, the strange urgency to police criticism of Islam afterward, and the enduring narrative manipulations that drive public fear and division. Part true crime, part cultural critique, and part cautionary tale, this episode challenges listeners to question how media shapes reality, and whether today's narratives are any more trustworthy.

In this fiery segment, Tara and Lee dissect the stunning primary victory of socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani in New York City, calling it a full-scale rebellion against establishment Democrat leadership. They break down how AOC and progressive allies outmaneuvered party elites, warning that years of Marxist indoctrination are now backfiring. From critiques of the Democrat primary process to fears of speech control, economic collapse, and rising anti-American sentiment, the hosts portray Mamdani's win as the beginning of a radical transformation — and an exodus. With references to Bernie Sanders, Eric Adams, and international law, they paint a picture of a city (and party) at war with itself.
