Summary

This is a preview of a bonus episode! find the whole thing here, on our patreon! ----- John Carpenter's Escape from New York is a classic. But John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. is almost the exact same story remade with all the sliders turned to 11. Snake Plissken is deployed into a post-Big One L.A., an area designated by the new christofascist US Government as the dumping ground for all criminals, to retrieve a superweapon stolen by the President's daughter- who was radicalised psychically by an L.A. Revolutionary leader. Joining us to tackle this is L.A. resident and actor, Morgana Ignis! Star of Helluva Boss, Class Acts, and of course Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend! -----Donation links for the LA Wildfires Climate change will be experienced as a series of disasters filmed on mobile phones that get progressively closer until it's your phone doing the filming. Currently, Los Angeles is experiencing a wildfire that would have been unimaginable a few decades ago. Directrelief is, as the name suggests, coordinating direct relief for those who have lost everything.https://donate.directrelief.org/give/406660/#!/donation/checkout ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. As a ceasefire has been announced, we hope soon plenty of Aid can get in and help alleviate the dire famine they're being subjected to. But until then, they still have to afford to eat, so we ask for you to keep helping them out, just a little longer. https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-and-my-family-to-find-a-safe-place https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-maher-and-my-family-to-leave-gaza-to-belgium https://www.gofundme.com/f/htdcj-evacuating-my-family-from-gaza https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate ----- Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon!https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ WEB DESIGN ALERT Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

0:00.0	Hello, listeners. The following episode, Escape from L.A., was recorded at a different time
0:06.8	last week before thousands of people actually had to escape from L.A., owing to the devastating fires
0:12.3	currently sweeping the city. The climax of the film shows an iconic Los Angeles landmark on fire,
0:18.4	and the host's remarks that this is sick, nasty and rules, should be understood
0:23.9	in their historical context. In all seriousness, though, we are very happy to say that our guest

1:45.7	relevant to this fucking film, I'm great, never been better, fantastic, really.
1:54.5	We're all feeling good, we're feeling healthy, our hoary bones are intact.
