About this Episode

New month, new theme! All April long will be One Night Only - a celebration of films that (mostly) take place in just one night. First up is our latest look at a John Carpenter classic - Escape from New York! Ben and Anthony discuss the debut of Kurt Russell's most iconic character, Snake Plissken, the bizarre-yet-cool tone created by Carpenter (and cinematographer Dean Cundey), and the free production value of shooting this movie in St. Louis... which just kind of looked like that at the time.

Co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter, and starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton.
