Welcome to “Flick Flops: Cult Classics” the podcast where we dive feet-first into the wild and wonderful world of films that have earned cult status.
Each episode, we’ll flip the script on cinema’s most intriguing and unconventional films, exploring the hidden gems and eccentric creations that have captured the hearts of dedicated fans. From the bizarre to the brilliant, these are the movies that may have flopped at the box office but soared in the cult scene.
This week we discuss Escape from New York (1981), the sci-fi/action film from John Carpenter starring Kurt Russell. In the movie, we learn that in the late 80’s the US went in the crapper and made Manhattan Island a maximum security prison. When in 1997 the President’s plane crashes there, they send in Russell, a convicted bank robber, to go in and rescue him for a full pardon.
Are we card carrying compatriots of the cult classic created by Carpenter? Find out in this episode of Flick Flops Cult Classics.
