Demolition Man: The Future Is Now — Sanitised, Monitored, and Monetised

“Be well, citizen… You have been fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute.”
Sound familiar?

Join us for a deep-dive discussion into Demolition Man — the 1993 dystopian action flick that might’ve been more prophetic than we thought. On the surface: a cheesy shoot-’em-up with Stallone, Snipes, and seashells. Underneath? A surprisingly sharp satire on censorship, control, and the sterilization of society.

🎯 What We’ll Explore:
• Freedom vs. Safety: What are we willing to give up for a peaceful society?
• Censorship & Sanitization: Is the “verbal morality statute” just a fictional version of cancel culture?
• Tech, Surveillance, and Obedience: Are we already living in the early days of San Angeles?
• Humans Without Grit: Can a society without risk, conflict, or discomfort truly thrive?
• The Franchise Wars & Cultural Monoculture: Why everything being Taco Bell might not be as funny as it sounds.

⸻

👥 Who Should Come?
• Film nerds, philosophers, policy junkies, sci-fi lovers, accidental anarchists, and anyone who’s ever sworn at a parking meter.
• No prior reading required — just watch (or remember) Demolition Man and bring your curiosity and wit.

⸻

💬 Format:
• Open table discussion — expect stimulating questions, irreverent takes, and the occasional quote-off.
• Drinks, snacks, and the eternal debate: what were those three seashells for?

Come for the film. Stay for the ideas. Mourn for the last unregulated burrito.
