You can watch 3D movies through Vudu on the Oculus Quest 2. Maybe that’s an option for the PSVR2?

Great job on the intro tune this time, Alex!

Kevin Martin

Thanks for all the hard work Alex and have a safe move!

On Karl Urban’s helmeted scowl, back in the day I saw someone point out that just about every still, it looks like Dredd has just smelled a bad fart.

Aww, didn’t mention Anderson just smoking the kinda overconfident lady Judge. Much like Alex, I think I also like this movie more with each rewatch, so thanks for giving me an excuse to do that! Also good luck with the house & I’m looking forwards to a lot of Lynch.

Matthew Dooley

Very excited for up-coming David Lynch content.

Also I think the Mega City Judges don’t have any sort of allowances for recreational drugs. I saw a one page comic where Dredd helped a little old lady change a flat tire but when she went to thank him with a piece of candy, it was illegal candy and he swiftly pushed her to the ground and called for an isocube. Dredd has no chill.

Domhnall Gleeson also gives a fantastic performance as a serial killer in the new Hulu series The Patient.

Frillz

So excited for you Alex. Congrats congrats.

So I loved this movie when it released and generally like the Dredd comics, though some more than others. I always hoped for a sequel, but everything I heard was the poor box office put down any hopes of that. That said, a TV series is planned called Mega City 1 though the pandemic and Karl Urban getting tied up with The Boys seems to have stalled production of it. I still hold out hope it’ll see daylight and be good.

Dredd gets better every time you watch it. I do also enjoy the Stallone judge dredd (except schneider) as a fun stupid movie, I saw it in the theater back in 95. things not covered in this episode, Dredd is a clone! Also mentioned without explanation in this movie is 2 mentions of "resyk" which is recycling dead bodies, for food I believe. edit: let me be clear, I understand satire and entertainment in no way idolize fascists.

Cory Acton

Hold up, Brad's never seen The Wire. I know what I want going forward.

The best thing that came out of the Stallone Dredd was the music theme. Dredd 2012 is great film and the latest talk was maybe doing a series …..maybe one day we get more Dredd.
