On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, a brief detour and foray into post-apocalyptic wasteland movies.

Some movies, like Jaws and Mad Max, are so popular, well made and influential that they spawn a host of imitators. In the case of the latter, it’s even got its own name: Maxploitation.

There is quite a laundry list of Mad Max ripoffs, of which Exterminators of the Year 3000 is one. Hell, the poster art even shamelessly admits it: “meet the new breed of road warriors.” Brazen!

These movies are always so much fun, and aren’t too taxing on the ol’ noggin.

On this week’s episode, Crimes of the Future. Let’s get gooey and check in with this David Cronenberg effort, a real return to form.

Crimes of the Future is a 2022 science fiction body horror drama film written and directed by David Cronenberg. The body horror flick stars Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux (Midnight in Paris) and Kristen Stewart. The film follows a performance artist duo who perform surgery to audiences, in a future world where human evolution has accelerated.

The film marks Cronenberg’s return to the science fiction and horror genres for the first time since eXistenZ (1999). Unfortunately, it bombed at the box office. Don’t let that stop you!
