We’re joined by Ben Clarkson and Matt Bors, creators of the new comic book Justice Warriors, to discuss 1993’s sci-fi action classic DEMOLITION MAN. In a future where humanity has gained peace and security but lost its freedom to consume some goddamn coffee-flavored coffee, can one sub-mental brute be Alpha enough to de-soy the dystopia? Find out the answer to that AND what the 3 seashells are for inside!

Check out Matt & Ben’s Justice Warriors (forward by Will Menaker!) here:

enough of that ufo bullshit back to what really matters: movies

Kroy

Still doing the movies

Basil

rip justin cass

Calvin Bishop

Good on Will for writing the forward to the book. Looking foreword to reading it.

PrinceVocalFry

I probably rented this movie like 10 times from video update when I was a kid. Next time, y'all should do Last Action Hero

Bobalo

i use the three seashells method to listen to chapo

Wisselbanken

this is probably my ideal chapo episode

john

movie haters are shitting, sobbing, shrieking; their brains are being dashed upon the cobbles,

Poppy Chulo

Oh VHS!?!? You're so quirky and ironic!

Poppy Chulo

I love it when you talk this way Jessica.

Neil Jones

Sounds like something you should tell to your therapist on Betterhelp.com

plainwrap

Even the 'bad' future 1996 of this movie is more humane then our present because in our timeline the LAPD also negligently blew up a neighborhood and not a single cop went to prison, cryo or otherwise.

leah

kevin you are the biggest psycho in the chapo patreon comments and thats really saying something lol

Poppy Chulo

Relax lady, it's all in jest.

Brendan Kneeland

“A phenomenal paint job” to describe a gnarly dump is amazing and I’m using that at my next cocktail party

Aura

do the 2015-2017 media episode

etienne

you could get away with saying that if the jest was anywhere remotely funny or good

Poppy Chulo

I'll never apologize for hating Sandra Bullock. The most overrated actress of all time.

K H

The only reason I subscribe to anything is to know why and where the money comes from for all the weird bullshit that defines our lives. 100% do the episode.

K H

And get that dude to check the papers he signed because we want to know about all that shit.

K H

It's made up. It can be pronounced however anyone wants. I pronounce Jedi jed-ee

K H

Movie mindset on these balloons. Balloon mindset

K H

You will not be invited obviously.

Sela Lewis

So happy you all are finally covering this movie.

K H

What does it taste like?

etienne

hi im the NSA agent assigned to you and i am advising you today to keep posting this

Poppy Chulo

Oh please, you're the biggest hipster knob of all the commenters ettiene. Of course you love her VHS comments.

Jacob Jones

Totally down for the media stories episode.

LunarZeta

...the "yet you participate in society" comic guy? Really? I'm usually a tolerant Chapo listener but this is no good

JP

I very dearly want to hear Felix's media retrospective episode, 2016 was such a bizarre and magical time and I'd love to hear more about it

Dick Wolf

I know we are hogs and to ask for anything is haram but I’d love to hear that 2016 media episode/series.

Dick Wolf

Wrote this before I got to the part where you said to ask for comments. That’s how bad I want it lol

A

Do the media bullshit episode

Dennis

I’m only here for the HOES (Hell On Earth Sodes)

Jason Yungbluth

It's about family. And that's what makes it so powerful.

T

Media episode 🐽

glenn mohre

I also saw this in theaters as a child and impressionable. Gonna give this a paired viewing with Clockwork Orange in a Chapo Judge movies xover.

I am become reply guy

Wow Ninja Scroll and NGE referenced in the same episode, that’s got to be a bingo

KIDBOOYA420

I’d love to hear nick mullen recite the Dennis Leary monologue

Matthew

Tulsa King prequel

Will McAveney

Do the east coast media ep for sure

triplevalaska

First tits in a movie theater with my family, titanic. But yea do the episode

Torgosaves

Oh wow that Marco Brambilla guy also did these really cool video collage installations called Megaplex. Did not realize he directed this movie. https://vimeo.com/14837116

Ozzie

I've seen the future, you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sittin' around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener".

ScottB

I need to hear the media episode

Morgan

Felix drop that episode

Bob K Ross

dis MF be saying cryro

Sam Newell

I want the media episode

David Heslin

VHS is a perfectly fine way to watch a film, not all of us are Blu-ray/UHD nerds

David Heslin

Yet you subscribe to the podcast. Curious! I am very intelligent.

Bide

I'm gay.

caroline

is he bothering you queen?

NoPrefect

I vote yes on the media ep

Brian Rad

I had the exact same experience watching election with my mom.

justdave

Wait, what'd she say about VHS? I threw my phone into the river

justdave

❤ I love you guys ❤

justdave

Ma'am, please stop trying to turn me on, its inappropriate

justdave

Ms. Rios, you have been fined one half credit for violating the verbal morality statute. Thank you

Jessica Rios

Now I’ll never get ahead 😞

D.O.D

It's not made up ...

Carlos Colon

Rage against the war machine rally this Sunday in DC!!

Private

Also yes, media ep./series.

JD Nonce

‘Cry-ro’… am I going insane here?? It’s ‘cry-o’, right?? Anyway sorry nice ep

Stephan Hassam

Let's here about this media bullshit.

THEKILLERWHALE

Yeah, but Lori Petty originally got the part. Would that somehow be even more anime girl? She is the best.

THEKILLERWHALE

Will is a true pronunciation chaos agent. Most bad pronunciation comes from your attempted vocabulary outstripping your life experience (see Biederman, Felix). With Will, it is just a bizarre east coast accent (rahhhhhther) but with all of these knuckleballs in there where you know he has heard them, but they just did not register properly. Cryro. What the hell is that? I know you know how to say it because someone just said it one minute ago!

D. Elwood

Will: Stallone is low key sus Will 5 minutes later: it would be really funny if we got to see Stallone jack off in this

K H

You can't freeze and revive humans. 100% made up.

D.O.D

Cryopreservation is a pretty old technology my man. I work with cryopreserved samples everyday. Maybe the concept of refrigeration will get to your part of the world someday

Dan

Will’s Kamala impression was almost perfect

THEKILLERWHALE

I want to hear the media episode Felix.

big microbe

Do the 2015-2017 media episode

Zach H.

Please do a show on the media around 2016

K H

And how many human beings have you frozen alive and revived? I hope that does get to my part of the world as opposed to the expensive quackery in California.

D.O.D

I hope one day you learn that words are typically made out of other phonemes with preexisting meanings. This is part of what is called "etymology". But it's nice that you pronounce the Star Wars word in your own special way, that's really great bud, I bet you make really good lightsaber sounds too.

Jack Ingle

I had Dinotopia when I was a kid holy shit!!

Drew McGill

Yes please to the media episode! Sounds amazing.

Yairo Martis

We MOST DEFINITELY **need** that media retrospective!

Andrew Smith

I really wanna hear Felix’s inside baseball stories about the 2016 media world.

Chris Dobson

I'm assuming it's a reference to the Tim Robinson episode of the Characters, considering how much they reference I Think You Should Leave. "Say it, say I *didn't* do an absolute paint job in the men's restroom!"

J Vladcliff

Please do the media episode

Sam Schick

I thought will was trying to do a nu-clear vs nu-ca-lur on us for a second

Sam Schick

Very good observation

Lauren Mays

Would love the media episode

Sam Schick

What about the “Michael and Us” guys as guests for a movie episode?

Penny

Seeing that they're doing an episode about Demolition Man is giving me Girl God Flashbacks...

Jay

Loved the bit at 12:00 where the whole pod had to stop and argue how post-post-ironic their friends are.

brodie

Felix pls do the the media episode it would rule

Mark Shatraw

If you want a real End Of History time capsule movie, you need to check out The Art Of War

叔叔六十四 (Uncle64)

I would definitely love to hear these media behind the scenes inside baseball shenanigans!

Andrew

Big yes to the Media Bullshit Retrospective!

Grumbledark

Yes do the bullshit episode

god listens

I used to have a freelance job as the illustrator for MEL Magazine which was an article website and in box zine that was a subsidiary or whatever of The Dollar Shave Club. I think Chapo mentioned them once or vice versa.

Thom

Do the media episode

bobguy234

Please Felix, do the media episode

Nolan

Media episode wouldn’t be complete without Megyn Kelly talking about how black face isn’t racist because everybody loves Diana Ross.

Valentino

Embrace Marxist-Learyism

Justin R

This review is long overdue.

Ranni

Media bullshit please ✨

Michael Lawlor

We NEED the new media bubble oral history

etienne

impressive that Matt Christman was able to hold his side of the riffing and analysis while deep in a comp ranked game of Evropa Universalis IV

EnKaff

15-17 media episode pls!

Matthew

media history please !!!!!

Cast-Irony

One more for media episodes

Megan

Benna

Let's get that media episode

Wilko

I care about media bullshit.

MRM

I want to know all of the inside baseball Felix!

Broadway Joe

Wilson passed the Espionage Act. Alien & Sedition was John Adams. I watched this on cable in the early 00s, but I mostly remember this movie because our local movie theater had a Demolition Man themed pinball machine.

Baron

Peter Lenkov, per the wiki for the movie, “was also influenced by conspiracy theories of celebrities being cryogenically frozen and listening to Sting's song "Demolition Man" on repeat due to a broken cassette player in his car.”

Ryan

Make the dang media episode!

Andrew Caruso

Media episode please and thank you!

etienne

i guess that's the joke i was reaching for

Gorgatron888

I went to France around 12 years ago and watched Demolition Man, dubbed of course, on TV and instead of Taco Bell, it was Pizza Hut. 10/10, would recommend.

KatrinaJadeHelm

Came to the comments to talk about how Canadians pronounce “yamaha,” now piecing together what the media episode pitch is gonna be

KatrinaJadeHelm

I genuinely think some words trip up our brains by being easier than expected, and “cryo” is a great little example of that

Dan

What do Yanks say? " Yuh-muh-huh" ?

KatrinaJadeHelm

Can’t answer, got to the media ep bit and will not be commenting on anything else at this time (the first “a” is like the sound in “odd”)

Luke Bacon

‘15-‘17 media retrospective plx

N

I want the damn media ep

Tim

Media episode, please!!!

KyleMSherry

Would very much like to hear a media episode

Some.nerd

My brother trained at the same martial arts gym as Wesley Snipes and got into a drunken sparring match with him

Dean

Will: “can you believe Creedence Clearwater Revival made a song called ‘Fortunate Son’ for Forrest Gump and CLEARLY John Fogerty never saw the fucking movie?! 🤣” Chris: “um… I have bad news, Will”

MinkL0af

Chris- I am formally offering to fix any noisy or corrupted audio for the podcast for free. I have all the top-tier audio software that can remove any static or background noise extremely well automatically, and I can keep it in whatever format you want. I'll do whatever I need to if it means Felix doesn't sound like he's crawling out of the tv from The Ring at least once an episode.

MEAT CLOWN

Great episode aside from Will causing me physical pain by repeatedly saying "cry-ro"

Logan

👊WE👊WANT👊MEDIA👊EPISOSE👊

Julius Adamson

Major Powers

You have to tell him to stop vaping with a bipap mask on.

Major Powers

Will and pronouncing Cryo incorrectly, name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait.

EaZy E

Cairo prison.

Andrew Simmons

Losing my mind at Will repeatedly saying "Cairo."

Zakir KH

Elliot Matheny

Adding my vote to the pro “rambling Felix episode about freelancing in center left media” camp.

Thomas Carroll

If you don't enjoy the movie/prestige tv eps of Chapo, then what are you even doing here

Britz Man

chetan kadodwala

Either the greatest movie ever made or in the conversation.

Mark

Yes on the media conversation, please and thank you. Also, The Police rock. Ghost in the Machine is a dark record!

Mark Schneider

I'm old enough to have seen this movie and remember the original Demolition Man song . . . 1981 was 4 years into Punk going radio popular (77 Sex Pistols) & he was trying to do something punky or New Wave, very badly.

SH

Give us the media episode

JRobs4eva

Felix has somehow found a way to be a legal groomer and it’s weird as fuck. We get it dude women your age don’t like you, doesn’t make you dating girls a decade younger than you cool or funny. Love you tho you fuckin creep.

Duncan

Somehow a man in in his 30s has found a way to date a women in her 20s? (if any of this is true)

brandon

Please do the media episode

Zaub

2015-2016 east coast media episode please.

Cameron

You gotta do the media bullshit ep

James Phipps

I worked at IAC and A&E Networks during the 2010s and I very much want a media history episode.

nomorepls

That would go hard as a miniseries

LeeTravens

a First Look episode and the split between scahill/poitras/greenwald would be juicy

Taylor Borie

The media episode sounds so good

J

Would love to hear the media episode!

etienne

it would be so fucking tight. the recent ep of Radio War Nerd where they had Yasha Levine on to talk about the Taibbi twitter story was full of hot goss about that clique too

philihp

the demolition man game for sega genesis was great too

Funny_Hat

Yes do the media bullshit thing

jack

ObsBlk

Yes media ep retrospective.

james

Nineties super predator huh

C

Full support for the media episode

infinitesunrise

Cyro? Cairo? Churro? It's "Cryo". Cry-oh.

Carver Eller

Totally down for Felix media retrospective ep, as someone who will never work in media I want to know the deets, before Chapo I didn't know you could even shit on shitty political/journalistic media like this and it's made me feel far more equipped to navigate the news

Saga

Adding yet another vote for the media episode; I'm too intrigued now.

Don Swaynos

A vote for the media episode

Matthew Perdue

100% would love an episode about 2015/2016 media landscape.

Rob Carson

incredibly down for the media history retrospective!

Mike Mariano

My high school language class went to some Japanese-American Cultural Exchange convention. One of the booths was just some guy selling anime tapes. While children and little old ladies walked past, his booth’s television played what I later learned was Ninja Scroll, showing some guy running through the forest and then exploding in a geyser of blood. He didn’t seem to have any buyers.

Ghordo

Felix retrospective please

Michael Carroll

Late to the games but yes 👏 lease do that episode

Graham Trim

yes to media inside baseball episode

Tim Masterson

I'd listen to the media episode. Heck, I'd listen to a series with all kinds of different people telling their wild stories.

Ricardo

Yes to media inside

etienne

everytime Chapo does a 90's movie episode I understand Hot Shots (1991) and Hot Shots: Part Deux (1993) a little better

Chantz

Someday, if we all work together, Will may learn how to say the word "cryo" correctly. In all seriousness great ep boys, another banger.

wigglybuddy

Gimme that media episode!

Bryan Jennings

Fuck yes to the media inside baseball episode by Felix

Pedro

don’t know why you would think we wouldn’t want to hear about 2010s east coast media bullshit. probably a lot of sites we were reading back then, writers we know, etc. really hope you do it!

John LaConte

Do the media episode but everyone who is featured on it should get ridiculously overpaid by you guys for their appearances

Large Joseph

Let’s get the media bullshit retrospective

etienne

if it ever drops 80% of the comment section would be like "wtf why aren't they talking about the Newspaper Articles"

Jingle Jangler

Felix all I want in the world is a series of episodes spearheaded by you. Do ten fucking episodes about media it don't give a fuck I crave it

DJT

i let out a genuine

DJT

i let out a genuine OMG when the guest said that he watched Ninja Scroll with his dad lmao

DJT

i would like to listen to the east coast media 2016-17 retrospective

BigJ

I swear he’s got like a personal series he did on YT a while ago but that might of been about MMA

Don Tickles

Wait a second that's not 287 comments

digitalis

i mean yeah of course i wanna hear that if there’s hot media goss

Dan

East coast media episode!

PetRockSematary

I'm so glad they brought up the parallels between this movie and Cobra. I've always thought of Demolition Man and Cobra as bookends to what I call the Stallone Psycho Cop Trilogy, starting with Cobra and ending with Demolition Man, where the only thing that can save us from crime is the psycho cop, no matter the level of collateral damage. I haven't seen Copland yet but hear it fits in with this theme. Until I do, Tango & Cash is the second movie in this trilogy.

Nick

FELIX WE WANT THE MEDIA EPISODE

Alias Dan Davis

YES. Whatever Felix said. End of history, late 2010s media tell all. PLEASE. /// Also, it made me so happy to hear Chris constantly losing his shit from the wings.

Zott23

My first movie with boobs was Total Recall It left me with lots of questions

etienne

such as "wait why just two hands?"

justdave

Or, 'how does she fold pillow cases?'

J Fitz

Get Max Read to talk about the end of goofy media money. Between Gamergate and Hulk Hogan he helped turn the lights out on the party--plus maybe he can read from the never-picked-up Gawker prestige TV pilot.

Jorge Montoya

I want to hear the 2016 media stories episode Felix.

Evan Kuhn

Please do the media episode

Dan Whittaker

I would love to see an episode about all the crazy covid articles that came out during that time. Like how smoking was good for you, how covid was secretly hiding in your esophagus so you might get sick even if you haven't left your house in a year, the cheerleading and obsession over the daily covid numbers, all that good stuff. After the 2016 media stories of course.

Andy

Yes please to the media stories oh god yes

Sean

Do the media episode. Break those NDAs

Leah

Yes please on the media ep!!

Marty

"cryro"

Graham King

Loved this episode, I watched Demo man so many times as a kid. Also +1 on the media episode

Sebagel

Media episode sounds like a banger, please go for it!

jazzybaboon

Felix please do the media episode that sounds like a great one-off

Calum

DO THE MEDIA EPISODE.

Connor Slack

Please give us the “inside the digital media”episode!

David Luft

Please do the media episode

Nate Metz

I want Felix stories about mundane things. It’s literally the reason I started listening to Chapo.

Dee Rubes

Chris is definitely in the Q&A for this film on the How Did This Get Made podcast.

Dee Rubes

Simon Phroenix from cryro prison -Will
