The dystopian future is nigh this time on Call It, Friendo as we tackle two “end of the world” movies of vastly differing quality.
First, the good one, Bong Joon-Ho’s 2013 train-based action sci-fi film “Snowpiercer”. Apart from celebrating the excellent set design, we also discuss some of the logistical issues of living on a train for 15 years.
Second, the bad one, Michael Anderson’s 1976 effort “Logan’s Run”. Coming only one year before Star Wars, the gulf between what the two films achieved is frightening. On the plus side, Jenny Agutter gets naked again. Swings and roundabouts, I suppose.
