Nico and Adam complete their two-part exploration of trashy sci-fi auteurs by watching six basic cable classics directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. The films discussed: Shopping, Anderson's indie debut that showcases his punk sensibilities and the acting prowess of newcomer Jude Law (8:51); Mortal Kombat, Anderson's colorfully plotless adaptation of the arcade game of the same name (20:25); Event Horizon, a gnarly space horror flick, starring Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill, that was predestined for cult status (34:24); Soldier, a criminally underrated Kurt Russell vehicle that doubles as a secret Blade Runner spin-off (46:58); Resident Evil, the first installment of Anderson's signature franchise, starring his future wife Mila Jovovich (1:04:21); and Death Race, an update of Roger Corman's 70s camp classic, starring Jason Statham and a loaded cast of character actors (1:23:02).
