This week, we're joined by film researcher and historian Kevin Lyons to delve into two 70's cult classics: Rollerball (1975) and Death Race 2000 (1975). These films are iconic for their brutal depictions of dystopian societies where violent games are used as tools of control and entertainment.

Expect a deep dive into the satire, the car crashes, and the dangerous games that define these movies. We’ll explore how Rollerball critiques the corporatization of sports and society, while Death Race 2000 uses over-the-top violence to satirise politics and media. 

Join us for a thrilling discussion on these cult dystopian films that are as entertaining as they are thought-provoking.
