Episode 233 - Future World

About this episode

The hosts review the film Future World, discussing its themes and notable scenes.

From time to time, we here at School of Schlock like to tackle the lesser-known films of classic filmmakers. And other times we watch films made by James Franco. Guess which one we're doing today! In a post-apocalyptic world, can a son find a cure for his mother's disease? Can a robot find love? Join Tom and Ryan as we discuss drug lords, barn-frame towns, and dead oceans. It's our review of Future World! Time stamps: 0:02:50 - Background 0:28:40 - Summary 0:41:05 - Notable Scenes 0:48:00 - The Good 0:51:20 - The Bad 1:12:30 - The Ugly 1:15:40 - Final Thoughts
