But after revisiting this VHS-era classic, we have to ask the question:Is Escape from New York actually better than Escape from L.A.?

"As a TV junkie, the Fall TV Preview was the best time of the year. The network specials highlighted their new shows—they were always informative, joyful, and optimistic because everyone expected these shows to be big hits!" — Sharon JohnsonNEW EPISODE! Summer is winding down, back-to-school season is here, and the 80s TV Ladies are diving into one of the absolute best pop-culture traditions of the 80s: The Network Fall TV Previews! Join hosts Susan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson, along with producer Melissa Roth and Carnegie Mellon summer intern, Shannon Lee, as they look back at how it felt when fall was approaching and a brand-new season of television was about to drop.Before streaming, DVRs, or internet spoilers, catching a glimpse of upcoming shows meant waiting with bated breath for the extra-thick TV Guide Fall Preview issue and tuning into wild, star-studded prime-time network specials. Together, the ladies explore the history of TV Guide, the agonizing strategy of choosing between conflicting time slots, bizarre prime-time crossover promos, fever-dream Saturday morning cartoon previews, and the classic fall lineup shows that captured our hearts. THE CONVERSATIONTHE HOLY GRAIL OF TV GUIDE: Exploring the history of TV Guide magazine, from its iconic 1953 debut cover featuring Lucille Ball's newborn son Desi Jr. to why the annual September Fall Preview issue was every TV junkie's holy grail.TIME-SLOT WARS & STRIKE DELAYS: How pre-DVR audiences navigated brutal schedule conflicts (sacrificing new shows for established favorites!), how the 1980 SAG actors' strike delayed fall premieres, and the wild 1980 magazine ads for hard liquor, cigarettes, and brand-new Maxwell VHS videotapes.WACKY NETWORK PROMO SPECIALS: Recapping the gloriously surreal prime-time preview specials—from the 1983 ABC Love Boat crossover where real stars boarded in-character, to Kenny Loggins singing "We've Got the Touch" on CBS, and ABC's bizarre 1985 parody of "I Love L.A."SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON FEVER: Remembering the surreal Saturday morning cartoon preview specials hosted by 80s icons like Mr. T, Joyce DeWitt, Ted Knight, Weird Al, and the cast of The Facts of Life.FALL SHOW HITS & MISSES: Reminiscing about short-lived gems, cult classics, and massive hits from fall lineups, including WKRP in Cincinnati, Hill Street Blues, Ladies' Man, Freebie and the Bean, Breaking Away, The A-Team, and Hardcastle & McCormick.
“Call me Snake.” Join Ian, Liam & Kev for our 344th episode as we cross the wall, try not to get killed by the locals, and discover that in the distant dystopian future of 1997, the entire island of Manhattan has become America's maximum-security prison. It's John Carpenter's Escape from New York (1981), where Kurt Russell has one eye, Donald Pleasence is somehow the President of the United States, and absolutely nobody seems particularly concerned that they've sent one bloke in to rescue him. Megs isn't with us this week — she landed on Manhattan while attempting to evacuate Air Force One and has informed us that she'd actually rather take her chances with the inmates than record with us. This week we discuss: Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken — one of cinema's coolest antiheroes, but how much of Snake is actually a character and how much is simply Kurt Russell walking around being impossibly cool? John Carpenter's vision of 1997 — crime has exploded, America has become a police state, and Manhattan is a prison. It didn't quite work out that way... but how much of Carpenter's dystopia still feels surprisingly relevant? The extraordinary world-building — Carpenter gives us remarkably little information about how any of this works. Is that restraint part of the film's brilliance, or are there questions we'd really quite like answered? Ian gets into the film's narrative construction — because Escape from New York might have one of the cleanest movie premises imaginable. You've got a man, you've got a mission, you've got a ticking clock. What more do you actually need? Snake Plissken's reputation precedes him everywhere — everybody has heard of him, everybody thought he was dead, and we're left wondering exactly what this man did before the opening credits to become such a legend. Lee Van Cleef's Hauk — pragmatic authority figure or complete bastard? And is putting explosives inside the neck of the only man capable of completing your mission really the motivational strategy you'd go with? Donald Pleasence as the President — accent notwithstanding, does the film deliberately make the most powerful man in America one of its least impressive? Isaac Hayes as the Duke of New York — he's A-Number-One, but does the Duke live up to the incredible introduction the film gives him? The supporting cast is ridiculous — Ernest Borgnine, Harry Dean Stanton, Adrienne Barbeau and more. Who makes the most of surprisingly limited screen time? The film looks considerably bigger than it actually was — miniatures, matte paintings, abandoned locations and some ingenious low-budget filmmaking. How does Carpenter create an entire ruined Manhattan without actually having one? The pacing — at barely 100 minutes, Escape from New York gets in, establishes its world, completes its mission and gets out. Have modern action films forgotten how to do this? That ending. Snake has one final opportunity to do something heroic for the United States of America... and makes perhaps the most Snake Plissken decision imaginable instead. And finally, whether Escape from New York is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the coolest B-movies ever elevated into cult-classic immortality.

Verifier Andy brings us a Cinemania Field Report on John Carpenter's 1981 action opus "Escape From New York." Kurt Russell vs. Isaac Hayes vs. Lee van Cleef, backed up with a whole coterie of comedown-era character actors in a masterwork of tense, urban combat. Cinemania abounds, ladies and gentlemen. Proceed with caution. Written by Zacharia Berks and Andy Slack Performed by Andy Slack Editing & Sound Design by Ethan Ireland Music by Karl Casey at White Bat Audio Tracks Used: "Brave New World," "Big Trouble in Little China," "Frozen Planet," "Revolver," "Aikido."
Expanding the dystopian wasteland of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981) took dirt cheap, surprisingly effective special effects and relentless location scouting. Part 2 of our deep dive details the transition from practical prison sets to the high-tech police state, including how the crew got creative to get around city liability, a young James Cameron's uncredited hand in building the skyline, and an entire prologue that never made the final cut. None of it cost much. All of it stuck — Carpenter's grimy vision of the future became the template for a decade of imitators. Want the full story without the wait?

In a dystopian future where Manhattan has been turned into a maximum-security prison, war hero turned outlaw Snake Plissken is forced to infiltrate the city after the President's plane crashes inside. With only hours to complete the mission, Snake must battle ruthless gangs, dangerous criminals, and the city's ruthless ruler to rescue the President before time runs out. Eric-Small Jordan-Small
In ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981), John Carpenter gambled his biggest budget yet on transforming a former Disney child star into the ultimate anti-authority badass. Part 1 of our deep diver covers the genesis of Snake Plissken, starting with Carpenter pulling a shelved script out of his car trunk to satisfy a studio contract. We look at the fight to cast Kurt Russell over established tough guys like Charles Bronson, the bizarre brilliance of Donald Pleasence as the President, and the punishing reality of shooting entirely at night in the rubble of East St. Louis.

We continue #SciFiJuly: An Infinity of Titles with a giant interview with director and visual effects supervisor Ernest Farino! From an early age, Ernest was fascinated by special effects and his love for filmmaking would take him from creating the stop-motion creature in 1978's THE ALIEN FACTOR to Los Angeles and working for Roger Corman at the Venice Lumberyard studio on films like GALAXY OF TERROR and beyond! There, he would meet James Cameron and would work on films like THE TERMINATOR and THE ABYSS! We walk through Ernest's career, which included working on John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and THE THING as well as doing effects and main title sequences for a variety of New World Pictures films from the Corman era to the next ownership group!We discuss the difficulty of bats in SATURDAY THE 14TH and Sybil Danning's costume in the TV edit of BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, the tricky ending of DEATHSTALKER, having lots of time and no time to work on the title sequences for GODZILLA 1985 and PRETTY SMART, and how Ernest's work on TAG: THE ASSASSINATION GAME may have played a key role in casting for THE TERMINATOR! Also, Ernest explains how he dealt with Arnold Schwarzenegger's biggest, erm, muscle, and how he was able to get away with saying "no" to James Cameron! Ernest provided us with tons of stories, including about his directorial feature debut, STEEL AND LACE, which NWPPVIPs know is a film we love! Don't miss this wide-ranging and fascinating trip through Ernest's huge career that's filled with behind-the-scenes stories that you won't want to miss!For more about the New World Pictures Podcast, including previous episodes, t-shirts, mugs, sweatshirts, other merch and more, we DARE YOU to head here: https://newworldpicturespodcast.com/For all the shows in Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network, head here: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/

Future Force (1989) Director: David A. Prior Cast: David Carradine, Dawn Wildsmith, Robert Tessier, William ZippThe Power Glove is on the cover. David Carradine is visibly drunk. The future is 1991. Welcome to Future Force — the Action International Pictures masterpiece that had one genuinely cool idea and then locked it in the trunk of a Jeep Cherokee for 80% of the runtime. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, John and Sean wade through a whole shit ton of denim, some truly baffling bounty hunter logic, and a third act so magnificently stupid it almost — almost — makes the rest of it worth it.In this episode, we discuss:The Glove Is Ready. David Carradine Is Not. — The Nintendo Power Glove from hell is literally on the movie poster, shoots cartoon lightning, and can rip the hood off a car. So why does Carradine reach for a revolver 90% of the time? We break down one of the great criminal undersells in low-budget action cinema history.Is He Drunk in This Shot? (Yes. Also the Next One.) — A scene-by-scene investigation into whether David Carradine was on the sauce during filming. Spoiler: the answer changes shot to shot, sometimes within the same scene. The dubbing gives it away. So do the eyes.Bounty Hunters Who Call Themselves Cops — The future of law enforcement is a Civilian Operated Police System run by schlubby dirtbags in denim vests, and the movie expects you to just roll with it. It's basically Escape From New York if nobody cared. We dig into the world-building that Future Force absolutely refuses to do.Watch Check the Movie — At under 84 minutes, Future Force somehow still manages to feel like it's aging you in real time. We discuss what makes a movie genuinely boring versus entertainingly bad — and whether this one earns its place in the garbage canon.We Also Talked About:Andre Is an Idiot (2025) (Netflix) — A surprisingly heartfelt documentary following a self-described idiot ad exec who gets a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and decides to film the whole journey. Sean got personal. Strongly recommended.Widow's Bay (Apple TV+) — A horror comedy Sean has been watching in secret and then re-watching with his wife like he's never seen it. Season 2 just got announced. It's getting good.DBX 286S Mic Preamp/Channel Strip (Amazon) — Sean bought a professional mic preamp to make himself sound better on gaming calls with friends who absolutely do not care what he sounds like. He spent considerable time configuring it, troubleshooting a KVM switch, and engineering a solution to a problem he created. No regrets. Many settings.Smokey and the Bandit (1977) (Amazon)— John gave it a rewatch. Burt Reynolds drives fast, Sally Field escapes a wedding, and there's a brief song about Bandit getting laid. It holds up for what it is.Assault on Devil's Island (1997) (Youtube) — AKA Shadow Warriors. Hulk Hogan, Carl Weathers, Shannon Tweed, and a wig that deserves its own IMDb credit. Hogan is billed as Terry "Hulk" Hogan — yes, with the quotes. Yes, it's a TV movie rated R. Yes, John will probably watch the sequel.Living for the City (Podcast) (Apple Podcasts) — A Detroit music history podcast that John cannot stop recommending. Six episodes in, already deep into hip hop, electronic music, and the Bob Seger effect.

Snake Plissken is back on Hollywood's remake board, and we're asking the obvious question: does this need to happen, or should some movies be left alone?We also talk about the reported retirement of Clint Eastwood, look back at our favorite Eastwood films, react to Euphoria officially ending after Season 3, and discuss the new Birds limited series with Sarah Snook.

Big Dumb Podcast S1E19 Recap: This week we caught up on our real-life chaos, ranted about what we've been streaming (The Four Seasons, The Madison, and Your Friends & Neighbors), then dove into the wild headlines: a teenage barrel racer arrested for allegedly stabbing three horses in Vegas, the survey showing folks start choosing sleep over socializing at age 32, most Americans meh on the 2026 World Cup, Zack Snyder remaking Escape From New York, the epic Minor League moniker bracket madness, that viral NBA 82-0 starting-five challenge, and the South Carolina detective who pulled a gun over someone microwaving fish. Absolute chaos as usual—come laugh with us!
Horror has always managed to do well at the box office. The way of thinking has always been since the movies are so cheap to make, it is easy to profit of of them. This year has been especially good, with indie horror doing a lot of the heavy lifting. It is clear there is a lesson to learn from this, but will Hollywood learn the right one. (Spoiler alert: no.) Zack Snyder is one of the most polarizing directors around today. That takes in a lot of territory since pretty much everything fits that description nowadays. We talk about his latest project and why we are interested in it. Does this make us Snyderbros? Chum does not reinvent the wheel, but it does not have to. It is a simple revenge story filled with some of the best shark attacks we have ever seen on this show. We talk about the use of AI and how less can sometimes be more. A great sharksploitation movie is more than just a kick ass shark, however. It is not a question of how poor the writing in Chum is; the question is does it ruin all the good the rest of the movie does.

God of War Returns, and Wolverine is set for September. But so is every other game apparently. So while we all wait for GTA VI, we can now also wait even longer for Fable. Steam may have been hiding in plain sight as a villain all along, we now look to Lord Gaben for guidance. Spider-Noir is more Groucho than Cagney, but it might work in its favor. And Call of Duty is bringing us to East Asia.
This week Craig and Alex review Escape from New York! Next week we're watching They Live!
We get surprised on this week's Moviecast. The box office makes a billion dollars in May. Obsession soars while The Mandalorian and Grogu flounders.

We get our first look at Lex Luthor's power armor in Man of Tomorrow. #obsession #escapefromnewyork #manoftomorrow #stargate #mandalorianandgrogu #tv #film #streaming #podcast #allyoucangeek #aycg

Oh you thought we were dead?! Grab a chair, have a rest have a think and don't Pisskins - come along with us as we Escape From New York, this time on Doom Generation.
Call me Snake. Okay, well, that's too cool for me, so just make it Ryan. Either way, this 739th episode gets into the night life and action frenzy that is John Carpenter's Escape From New York. Kurt Russell was already establishing himself as something more than just a Disney kid, then his signature role here cemented it. The eclectic Van Cleef/Borgnine/Harry Dean supporting cast surrounding Russell is effective, but the production design, cinematography, music and other technicals in this dystopian sci-fi bleakness are the drawing card. Carpenter was cynical, yet so underrated in his time...even compared to a top-of-his-game Spielberg in that same era. Now, is Escape From New York funny? Maybe not (partly since it feels like this could actually happen), but it IS fun. So, even though everybody thinks you're dead, burst into the open-air prison that is Manhattan and save the president and his precious cassette tape. Cuz the name's Ellis.

In anticipation of the theatrical re-release of Top Gun later this week, this 738th episode has me yapping about Tony Scott's blockbuster that put him on the map and made Tom Cruise a megastar. The one about cocky naval aviators is big, loud and very sweaty. You've got sleek jets, cool, sexy men (and also SOME women like Kelly McGillis)...and a killer soundtrack. The fly boys (including Val Kilmer & Anthony Edwards) also play topless volleyball and spend a lot of time in towels. Naturally, the megahit sequel Top Gun: Maverick came up a lot in this review, since it played off the themes of rebellion, adrenaline and guilt the way that the original did. So caress your plaque that says you won a contest and put on your aviator glasses with a big smile on your face as I feel a certain need for a certain velocity while speaking about Tommy And The Jets. NOTE: a breakdown of all the Oscar nominations in Tony Scott's entire filmography will be the "So I Got Thinkin'" segment in Friday's episode about Escape From New York. Also, during the Coming Attractions Trivia question for that, it should have been Kurt Russell sometimes did "impressions" of other actors, not "inspirations." Help boost this show by spreading propaganda about it like Top Gun did for the navy. You can rate it 5 stars, review it with heaping doses of praise and you can certainly add to my subscription numbers.

They've got it all wrong. Citadel CEO Ken Griffin isn't fleeing New York because of high taxes, but because he's afraid Democrats, the party he used to donate to ... will kill him? Is he right to fear for his life? (Subscribe & share.)

In a dystopian 1997, a soldier-turned-bankrobber is taked rescuing the US President after he crashes into Manhattan, which has been turned into a giant maximum security prison. That's the official description for this gritty, sci-fi action thriller but a couple of key players involved made it more special than that. The solider is Snake Plissken played by Kurt Russell (The Thing, Tombstone, The Hateful Eight) in one of his more iconic performances. The director is genre master John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing, They Live) who inadverdently created a sub-genre with the success of this film forty-five years ago. And the rest of this film's stellar supporting cast includes Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasance, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton, and Adrienne Barbeau.
