Death Race 2000 (1975)
Did you wake up today think the HMN boys were going to watch a 50-year-old dystopian scifi movie starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone that’s creepily prescient of what 2025 would look like? Neither did we, but here we are discussing DEATH RACE 2000 (1975). In a future America, the President is a worthless politician spending his days in Moscow, is more of a TV personality than statesman, and has created a gladiator-style race where the drivers kayfabe their way across the country running people over for points. Oh almost forgot, a huge part of the country is apparently Nazi lovers. Sound familiar? Listen to us enumerate how depressingly accurate these predictions really are.
