Jerry Horror gears up for the penultimate episode of season 5, a momentous stop right before the big finale, by diving into one of the wildest sci-fi action gems the 90s ever unleashed. Sylvester Stallone himself called it a great action film ahead of its time, and honestly, when your dystopia comes with Taco Tuesdays, cryo-prisons, and bathroom tech no one understands, how could it not be?
Borrowing its title from a classic song by The Police, with Sting returning to rework it for the future, this movie is packed with explosive world-building and gloriously odd details. Speaking of odd details, those iconic seashells entered the script because the screenwriter’s buddy kept a decorative bag of them next to his toilet. One offhand bathroom comment later and the biggest mystery in sci-fi bathroom etiquette was born.
Jerry breaks down the satire, the chaos, the couture of a sanitized society, and the film that taught a generation to question both authoritarianism and their bathroom layout. Do not miss this special second-to-last deep dive of season 5 as he gears up for the grand finale.
