166) DAMNATION ALLEY
(1977 dir. Jack Smight) Date Seen: April 25 2026
strikes a very similar dopey but loveable chord to THE AFTERMATH (1982), as far as goofy post-apocalyptic adventures go. & this one is even more pollyannish in its worldview. Who has time for existential dread when you can be a groovy new-age pioneer. [my brain couldn't stop science nitpicking this scenario. Even disregarding the nonsense polar axis stuff; How would the heroes be waltzing around w/o rad suits or respirators? 😂]

"Waiting, waiting drives you crazy
Waiting drives you crazy
Endless repetition
Endless coming & leaving
Do not, do not come to heaven
Do not bother coming
Endlessly to heaven
Why not stay down?"
- Radiohead "Let Down"Thom's initial verse 3 lyrics

I felt 90% the same about this one as I did the first. Just copy & paste my thoughts from 2023 here & they'll still ring almost identical
That other 10% is reserved entirely for precious Yoshi. He's the only element that gives this film a slight leg up over the first.
