Demolition Man (1993): The Film That Predicted FAR Too Much Of The World We Live In Today

This week, Ben and Rob thaw out Demolition Man (1993), Marco Brambilla’s gleefully absurd action satire, starring Sylvester Stallone as the 1990s cop defrosted into a future where almost everything fun is policed, Wesley Snipes as the villain who is out destroy him, and Sandra Bullock, Nigel Hawthorne and Denis Leary along for the ride. How did a no-jokes cop thriller by Peter M. Lenkov and Robert Reneau become a comic dystopia once Daniel Waters, the writer of Heathers, got his hands on it? How did the film get made with a first-time director from commercials, Lori Petty fired two days in, a shoot that ran to about 112 days against 75 planned, and a budget that no two sources can agree on? Why did Taco Bell turn into Pizza Hut overseas, and what are the three seashells for? And did it really predict the future, or are we all just finding our own politics in a very silly action movie? And finally... what does it really mean?! We have ad free audio AND video episodes up on our patreon! Also a bunch of exclusive bonus content!
