Episode 148 - Logan's Run

Logan’s Run from 1976 is perhaps the most Super 70’s sci-fi epic ever made. Especially since Star Wars came along barely a year later and changed movies forever. But for a brief, shining moment in the early 1970’s we had a good run of films that presented gritty, dystopian futures... that still looked like they were set in the early 1970’s. With obvious scale-model cities, disco fashion, bean bag chairs, shag carpet, and enough macrame to choke a horse, Logan’s Run is fascinating because it is an expensive (for its time) studio extravaganza of a far-off future which still managed to look cheap and dated. Yet here we are, still talking about it over 4 decades later. That’s gotta count for something, right? Oh, and don’t trust anyone over 30. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:55 - Revolt (Netflix, 2017) | 12:27 - Legion | 16:38 - NHL Hockey in the time of COVID | 21:10 - The Go-Go’s (2020) | 27:50 - Drive In Movie (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980) | 35:20 - Death Becomes Her (1992) | 40:20 - Logan’s Run (1976) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Motörhead - Enter Sandman | Men At Work - Who Can It Be Now? | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Bear McCreary - Theme from Revolt | Jeff Russo - Run - Legion Season 1 (OST) | Roy Ayers - Aragon - Coffy (OST) | Stompin’ Tom Connors - The Hockey Song | The Go-Go’s - Club Zero | The Go-Go’s - Beatnik Beach (1978) | John Williams & London Symphony Orchestra - Finale - Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back | Alan Silvestri - Death Becomes Her | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clips from Logan’s Run (1976) | Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run | Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark | Jerry Goldsmith - The Dome / The City / Nursery - Logan’s Run | Clip from THX 1138 | Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell | Neil Young - Old Man | Foreigner - Cold As Ice | The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary | Alphaville - Forever Young | Gary Numan - Down In the Park | Living in a Box - Living in a Box | The Black Eyed Peas - Let’s Get It Started
