To ring in 50 episodes and 5 years of The AndyPlex Podcast is returning alumnus, now fourpeeting - Phil Gawthorne. Screenwriter and podcaster, Phil was Andy's very first guest 5 years ago. These two have become dear friends and frequent collaborators since episode 1 "Foggy Days," discussing John Carpenter's "The Fog" (1980). They both share a deep love of John Carpenter, so it is very fitting that they deep dive into "Escape from New York" (1981). Why is "Escape from New York" an all time great film? Why does it continue to resonate 44 years later? What is about John Carpenter that endures and captures the imagination? What messages does this film ask that we heed? With Phil's screenwriting expertise - join these two as they get under the hood and see why this film's engine has lethal amounts of torque!
