Interzone


In a vaguely homoerotic gambling den in a post-apocalyptic future; everyone wears hi-top Reeboks,  shirts that can't be bothered with buttons, has a mullet, and drinks a smoking green liquid with obvious dry ice, and I wonder if I'm watching a movie or a Spandau Ballet video. Let's find out:


I'm not sure. The short answer is "Yikes", and the long answer is "Possibly". Anyway, after the gambling den in a vaguely homoerotic post-apocalyptic future has erupted in an unconvincing fistfight and the shirtless sweaty dancing man in the silver lame shorts stops gyrating, we see an unconvincing gun battle led by a female bodybuilder. I'm not entirely sure why. Then there's headbands and people running through a field in slo-mo, and since there's little/no/barely audible dialogue and a goat I begin to think that it might not be a movie but it might be a music video by Ultravox. Let's find out:


Well, the jury's out on that one. It's still pretty hard to tell. So there's a motorcycle chase, grenades, flame-throwers, leather jackets, a zebra-painted future car, and a flimsy, repetitive synth soundtrack; so I become convinced this might actually be a future movie/music video hybrid called Wham!:Beyond Thunderdome. Let's find out:

Wait, no clip? That's fine, because that would be Beyond Awful.

So, someone demonstrates psychic powers by getting a constipated look on their face and a bulging vein in their forehead. Do we have a clip? Great!





So there's that. I watched Interzone on Netflix. It was not good.
