2 Fast 2 Forever #451 – Death Race 2000 (1975)
After talking about Roger Corman’s filmography throughout the podcast, we’re finally covering one he produced: Death Race 2000! After Joey shares his way of making movies (both good and bad) and his star-maknig lineage, we talk about the lack of specifics found in Death Race 2000’s dystopian landscape, and ask: what’s the right balance between backstory and movie? We have more questions, too, like: How does the scoring system work? And: Why would you ver leave your home? We talk about the Frankenstein vs. Mr. President showdown, a Looney Tunes-esque fake tunnel (!), and our favorite kills. We wonder: is there any chance that the Jason Statham / Tyrese remake is any good?
