Sinopse

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob kick off season 9 (yes, 9!) of the show with a thrilling comparison of two dystopian action films, with the original transporting us to the far off year of 2017. The duo dives into the absurd creativity of the original, and put it up against a much more realistic (at least by today's standards) take on what our modern day looks like. I mean hey, ultimately both of these are reflections of their times in certain ways, that's what makes a compelling dystopian story! But the more the entertainment landscape changes, the more it stays the same...Also featured in this episode are bits and bobs about Fallout's season 2, the effectiveness of Arnold's image, game shows vs reality shows, and the monster that is Dynamo.
