The full gang is back! Shadowlink returns to join Scum, Xero, and CoinOps for discussion of the 2009 dystopian vampire movie: Daybreakers. This movie's about a lotta things that bear absolutely no semblance to modern times whatsoever. Come for the plague started by a bat in 2019. Stay for the allusions to genocide. And abject corporate greed. And the problem of dwindling resources. And Willem Dafoe's shotgun crossbow.Hit us up:rss.com/podcasts/l0wl1f3 patreon.com/neondystopia discord.gg/M6fGZERb7Z

This ep, the squad tackles one of the "video nasties" from 1981, namely a movie called "Evilspeak." Clint Howard is a student at a military academy who uses an Apple computer from the era to conjure Bull from Night Court. Xero and Scum enjoyed it more than they expected. CoinOps drinks a beer.

This ep, Xero exposes CoinOps and Scum to the 1990 dystopian fascist rollerblade epic featuring Corey Haim and Patricia Arquette. It's charmingly batshit insane. Come for Haim performing many of his own stunts, stay for the first appearance of a certain Oscar winning composer's legendary first industrial music single.
