The Post-Apocalyptic Roundtable

They say that the living will envy the dead...

There's nothing quite like a Post-Apocalyptic Film.  The grim future has been imagined by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of filmmakers, all with their unique vision. Or not-so-unique vision. It's pretty safe to say a Post-Apocalyptic Film is going to feature a lot of muscley guys in leather, because everyone knows polyester will not survive a good nuking.  You'll also likely see suped-up cars, women in bikinis, and lots of kickboxing.  No one really knows why, but that's just how it's gonna be in the future.

So we came up with the not-so-unique idea of reviewing a slew of these films, because we all like muscley guys in leather, but not all of us can afford a trip to the Castro.

Your humble reviewers:

Marxo Grouch: Café Flesh: Sex is bad for you, very bad for you.  Not now, but in the future.

Dr. Kobb: Omega Cop: In the future, justice is a swift kick in the crotch.

Choconado: Ultra Warrior: An Armageddon of stock footage.  The horror!

Kodos: Target Earth: Robots! From Venus! Hide!

Portrait in Flesh: Warriors of the Apocalypse: Zombies, midgets, zombie midgets.

Deeky: Omega Doom: You can tell they're robots because they clunk when they walk.

Anyway, get to reading.  In case you ain't heard, Iran's getting nukes, global warming is turning this planet into a desert, and killer bees are heading our way. This may all come true sooner than we think.
