Grindhouse Pizzeria - "Death Race 2000"
Episode 161
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
On Episode 32 of our show "Grindhouse Pizzeria" which is dedicated to all things encompassing various Grindhouse, Drive-In, and Exploitation genres; we will be reviewing and dissecting a true classick of the Roger Corman era with 1975's "DEATH RACE 2000". Directed by Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul and Cannonball!) and starring an array of icons including David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone, Mary Woronov, Don Steele, and many more. This is a legendary cult film, which spawned a much belated sequel in 2017 titled Death Race 2050 and a remake starring Jason Statham in 2008 (which had its own series of straight to video sequels). It's a truly ridiculous satire tale of a dystopian future where a the new national sport is a cross country road race where the drivers collect points by running down pedestrians. Sound wacky? It has to be seen to be believed! Our discussion is headed off by our regular hosts Tom Komisar and Cameron Scott! Join the two of them as they take a deep dive dissection of this slice of fried gold exploitation goodness as only Roger Corman could deliver. Come on in at the Grindhouse Pizzeria, pull up a chair, and grab yourself a slice! ***There are some audio hiccups (as the weather was up against us at the time of recording) that we tried to edit around and clean up the best we could. It is of a lesser quality than we usually deliver, but we hope it doesn't distract you from your listening pleasures. We truly apologize for this inconvenience.*** "Here he comes: Machine Gun Joe! Loved by thousands, hated by millions!"
