About this episode
The episode dives into the chaotic world of 'Escape from L.A.' and its cult status.
Swole Cinema Episode 60 surfs in hot as Ryan, Mark, and their buddy Nash (from Paranormal Punchers) dive into Escape from L.A. (1996)! Kurt Russell is back as the one-eyed legend Snake Plissken, this time navigating post-apocalyptic Los Angeles—complete with plastic surgery cults, basketball death matches, and yes… that surfing scene. It’s bigger, louder, and way weirder than the original, and the guys are breaking down all the glorious chaos that makes Escape from L.A. a cult classic in its own right. #SwoleCinema #EscapeFromLA #SnakePlissken #KurtRussell #JohnCarpenter #90sAction #CultClassic #MoviePodcast #ActionMovieBreakdown
