This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both
old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, part two of our
trilogy devoted to Kurt Russell, we talk about another John Carpenter
film, the action classic from 1981, Escape from New York. Russell plays
the legendary character, Snake Pliskin, who became a cult figure and
eventually Russell reunited with Carpenter for the sequel.
In this film Carpenter has again not only directed the film but given it his own unique stamp, scoring the music as well. There is also a long list of very famous names in this film from Ernest Borgnine to Harry Dean Stanton, Adrienne Barbeau to Donald Pleasence playing the President of the United States.
At the end of the episode we announce what the third film in our Russellology is going to be.
