In this week’s episode, we dive into the neon-soaked, PVC-wrapped future of Barb Wire (1996): a film that boldly asked, “What if Casablanca… but with more explosions and significantly fewer buttons?” We break down the wild behind-the-scenes chaos, the practical effects, the last-minute rewrites, the leather-clad world-building, and Pamela Anderson’s full-throttle commitment to becoming the hardest-drinking, hardest-kicking bounty hunter of the distant future year of 2017. Expect fun facts, production disasters, comic-book origins, and maybe even a cameo.

We’re joined by friend of the show Dean from TotalCultZone.com, who brings his encyclopaedic knowledge of cult cinema and low-budget brilliance.
