Rewatch! One of a dwindling number to go at this point. It's one of those sci-fi movies whose grand vision of the future is largely today but like with multinational consortiums and giant robots. There's even a major location that's just a normal town circa the movie's making, passed off as a preserved ghost town and tourist location. Warning, there's an appallingly misogynistic character who's intended by the movie to be seen as a lovable scamp. Feh, meh, pleh, bleah. Previously.

Fan podcast It's Just A Show did an episode on this one in the past few days, and an interesting fact came up during it. They mentioned that this movie had a fanriff, popularized on the MST3K Usenet groups in the 90s, that was made by someone called Spatch. Is it the same one as our Spatch? I don't know! I've sent them a couple of messages, I hope it's true!
