Nathan and Ryan lock in to Wedlock (1991), a gritty sci-fi action thriller where prison reform means strapping explosive collars to inmates and pairing them off in deadly “marriages.” Starring Rutger Hauer, Mimi Rogers, and Joan Chen, the film blends cyberpunk aesthetics, high-concept dystopian ideas, and early-’90s action cheese. The hosts break down the movie’s wild premise, its surprisingly prescient tech paranoia, and whether Wedlock works better as science fiction or as a pulpy B-movie thriller. It’s love, loyalty, and head-popping consequences—Drive-In style.
