We celebrate the end of #SciFiJuly Presents: Dystopian Summer 2: Dystopian HARDER and our 150th New World Pictures title with director Brian Trenchard-Smith's ozploitation classic ESCAPE 2000. Or, as it was originally titled, TURKEY SHOOT. Joining us for this episode is returning guest and Cannon Film Guide author Austin Trunick! How does this compare to a Cannon movie? Austin will explain! Austin also gets a front row seat as we reveal the lost first 10 pages of the script!

Truly a gem of the New World catalogue, TURKEY SHOOT was released in Australia and the United Kingdom before being picked up by New World and unleashed on the world as ESCAPE 2000. Originally set for a larger budget, the disappearing funds called for cuts to the script which meant that the film's 10-page opening, which set up the backstory of Paul (Steve Railsback) and Chris (Olivia Hussey), as well as the dystopian society in which the movie takes place, had to be abandoned. BUT NOT ANYMORE! We have a copy of the script and will reveal all!

Do not miss this celebration of exploitation, of the most dangerous game, and of New World! Thanks so much for listening, we're ready for 150 more!
