waterworld & escape from LA (with chad alligood)
After two months of global destruction, dystopian wastelands and the divorced dads that will do anything to protect their stacked daughters, we say goodbye to our ROTTEN APOCALYPSE miniseries. For our grand finale, we're looking back at one of the most notorious disasters of the 20th century and an underrated late career banger from one of our best directors. First up, it's the infamous 1995 flop "Waterworld" starring Kevin Costner as a half-man/half-fish/100% incel living in a post-apocalyptic world that is, yes, all water. After that, we're welcoming the great John Carpenter to the podcast for the first time ever(!) with his only sequel, "Escape From L.A." starring Kurt Russell as the legendary Snake Plissken.
Was "Waterworld" really the financial disaster it was pegged as even before audiences got the chance to experience it? Are the VFX that bad in "Escape From L.A."? Is Kevin Costner the very definition of white privilege in Hollywood? Should John Carpenter only make movies for under $20 million? Why does everyone in "Waterworld" want Costner's cum so badly? Is Kurt Russell a goddamn national treasure? Would you rather live in a post-apocalyptic world where you get to surf the LA river with Peter Fonda or one where the best thing that can happen is you find some dirt to sell? We're joined by Chad Alligood to discuss all this and more right here on America's #1 source for all things Rotten.
