The Blasters & Blades PodcastTaco Bell, Totalitarianism, and the Three Seashells: Demolition Man (1993)Send a maniac to catch a maniac! This week, we are thawed out and travelling back to 1993 to review the sci-fi action classic Demolition Man. We’re breaking down the glorious clash between Sylvester Stallone’s wrecking-ball cop John Spartan and Wesley Snipes’ unhinged, bleach-blonde villain Simon Phoenix. Join us as we laugh through San Angeles, marvel at Sandra Bullock’s star-making performance, and evaluate how a goofy '90s action flick accidentally predicted contactless greetings, voice-activated tech, and extreme political correctness.
