The Movie of the Week podcast is back! In this installment, I review the 1981 sci-fi/action cult classic, Escape from New York. The movie is a fun action romp that really has an out-there plot: in 1997, the island of Manhattan is transformed into a walled, guard-free maximum security prison from which ex-CIA operative & current criminal Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) is tasked with rescuing the President of the USA. As I said, pretty ridiculous. The film is definitely an enjoyable watch, especially if you aren't looking for a confusing plot. Listen in for the full review & check out the trailer above. Cheers!-Cote
