I watched this last night in preparation and somehow didnt realize i was seeing the european version because i was taken aback by the fact that all of the restaurant scenes had Pizza Hut in it instead of Taco Bell. Apparently theres 2 versions, mind was blown away.

I JUST SOLD MY COPY OF THE 3DO GAME I'M SORRY

Loved this, blown away how Alex keeps saying “unthawed” when he’s talking about thawing. I thought that was something locals here said.

I remember watching the live coverage on the local news here in Louisville KY of a Demolition Man themed demolishing of a building in town. I believe Taco Bell had a lot to do with it, and I remember a lot of the cast of the movie was there for the event, including Wesley Snipes and Stallone. Anyway it was big news in town, and the lore is that it's the building used in the beginning of the movie, though that's not actually true, just wishful thinking. Anyway, here's an article/news footage of that: https://www.whas11.com/article/news/local/the-vault/the-vault-belknap-building-implosion/417-566c9c9e-2328-4cc6-8d99-f44970f67cfa

I love Vinny's mumbling Stallone voice around 32:40.

I always assumed the three shells was a bidet situation with wipe wash dry. Like you push each as a button when done.

Also the whole thing of freezing criminals in sci fi never made any sense to me. Like you want these people to be removed from society but not aged so you can….what exactly?

I recalled from the commentary that much of the exterior was around the SAN DIEGO convention center and surrounding area. But maybe there was also some around the LA Convention Center I went to San Diego Comic-Con several times around 2010 and it was fun re-watching and recognizing driving along the convention center's bus load/unload area and sections of downtown.

This was a great episode (and Tamoor was a great guest)!

Great episode folks! I also appreciate having guests on this pod, always a pleasure to hear.

The best 3 seashells theory I heard is that it is for 3 things you might do in the bathroom. 1. Pee 2. Poop 3. Both together. Futuristic Japanese toilets and bidets have similar settings. EDIT: I may have slightly misremembered Sandra Bullock's own expanation, which is Number 1, Number 2 and 3 is clean-up. Either way I think it makes some sense. https://www.mtv.com/news/2knk1s/sandra-bullock-demolition-man-seashells
