Saw first 6 episodes of Twisted Metal on Peacock. Used to love playing that game on the PS1. The fan service for the show is all the famous cars from the game slowly make appearances.
Twisted Metal advertises itself as ‘from the makers of Deadpool’ which is one of my favorite movies, so I gave it a try. It follows the same formula as Deadpool. — Ridiculous violence mixed with quick jokes and over the top characters, and led by a nonchalant sarcastic hero. He’s played by the same actor who is Captain America‘s bud Falcon in the Marvel movies, Anthony Mackie. Never been much of a fan, always thought his Marvel character was boring, but he does a good job pulling it off. Some great supporting actors. Sweet Tooth (every fan of the game will recognize him instantly), underrated Thomas Haden Church as the stone-faced cop, and Mackie’s girlfriend bandita all steal scenes.
Some people are going to hate the show but if you’re someone who liked the original Death Race 2000, which I was, this has a lot of that same vibe.
