Escape From L.A. (1996)
The rules are really beginning to annoy us. We stand with Snake. Anyone want to join us for a trip to the island of Los Angeles for a game of "Bangkok Rules"? Welcome to episode one of Silver Linings from The Next Reel family of Film Podcasts.
Just what is Silver Linings? Have you ever liked — maybe even loved — a movie that everyone else seems to hate? You're not alone! We look at movies that are often panned to see if their hate is warranted. Sure, we'll talk about what might be broken, but more important: we talk about what really works in these films with the hope that we change some minds along the way... maybe even yours. So sit back, relax, and let's take the guilt out of guilty pleasures.
