From 1995's Stallone spectacle to 2012's Karl Urban reboot, Judge Dredd straddles a bizarre line between political satire and fascist power fantasy. In this episode of The Flick Lab, Karri and Henrik break down the paradox; is Dredd a warning against authoritarianism, or a celebration of it? Even more importantly, what may be the behavioral consequences to our societies? We'll discuss the character's comic book origins, compare the two movies, and explore how a supposed critique of fascism can still end up fueling the very fantasy it condemns.
Films covered in this episode: Judge Dredd (1995) Dredd (2012) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme tune performed by Nick Grivell.
