The second season of "Twisted Metal", Based on the high-ranking series of violent racing video games, he debuted on a peacock on July 31, 2025. It takes place in a dark, post-apocalyptic future in which cities have fallen, and roads run by a violent, charismatic gang leaders in deceived super-venes. Anthony Soft plays the mysterious protagonist, known only as Johnon Doe, a former Milkman who suffers from amnesia. Doon Doj is tasked with making a mysterious delivery through the dangerous wasteland, which he led to back his heads with a wicked clown named Sweet Ty (physically played by Jo Shanoa, expressed by Will Arnett) driving a wicked ice cream truck.

The game "Twisted Metal" and the subsequent TV adaptation and occupy many ideas and cultural signs of George Miller's "Mad Max" films. The Max series Miller has popularized the idea of ​​a post-apocalypse of cars in the desert in popular imagination. The iconography of the "Warrior of the Road" is now part of the common cultural lexicon. TV series "Twisted Metal" is based on a video game, but the game itself is made by aesthetics made by a generation of low -budget directors who work with nothing but $ 500, a few old jankers, a fist of TNT and access to bare highways to Australia.

The same aesthetic B-movie was also employed in a small Syfy series of 2017 called "Blood Drive", easily one of the best TV shows ever produced by the network. Blood Drive has run for only 13 episodes and is not very well remembered to this day, but it's one of the better horror TV shows in the last decade and definitely deserves attention. If you are a fan of Twisted Metal, be ready to blow your mind. It is "Twisted Metal" through "Grindhouse", but with sex and Gore it climbed to the crazy level. It's wonderful.

The "blood drive" premise was really unusual. It happened in an alternative version of 1999, where the world was already destroyed by a series of fatal earthquakes. Water is rare, and gas is even less common, so mankind has invented cars working on human blood. Drivers can regularly see the abduction of unfortunate passers -by, shooting aspirators and feeding them as kicks and screaming in grinding, engines that are hungry in the blood. This future is supervised by a wicked corporation called Heart Enterprises, which hosts an annual race for the death of cross-country, whose winner will be given wealth and fame. The race is supervised by a glorious flattering and a completely amoral rake named Ianulian similarly (Colin Cunningham), which is just as lucrative to the blood as it is for human genitalia.

The Blood Drive protagonists are a Los Angeles policeman named Arthur (Alan Richson), who is so hunt and nice to have earned the nickname Barbie. Unwittingly, he is written in a cross-country race race and is forced to drive Grace D'Argento (Christina Ochoa), a murderous female fatal with hidden motivations.

The "blood disk" silk was that each episode-at least was vaguely disliked on a different B-movie subgenir. There is an episode of cannibal motel, an asylum episode, an episode of sex virus, and so on. As the series progresses, it is gradually revealed how heart enterprises play in the personal lives of Barbie and Grace and how much of the world actually control it. Even the seemingly evil Jululian similarly will reveal that he is a pion in a bigger story. It doesn't reveal the true backstew here, but it's pleasant.

The cross-country element is taken from Paul Bartel's film in 1975 "Death Race 2000", And the blood -drinking element is likely to come from the 1982 Czechoslovak film, called "Upír Z Feratu", a nospherean punishment.

"Blood drive" was only moving from June 14 to September 6, 2017 and ended at Clifancher. Barbie, naked, wandering in the woods and women's prison. Of course, the series set the second season that additionally involved in the traditions of the B-film, specifically the genre "Women in Prison". Unfortunately, the series has never been restored, and opportunities remain unexplored. Since the "blood drive" has no real cultural power and only a few fans (like me), it seems unlikely to be revived.

"Blood drive" was originally presented as "submitted at midnight Greenhaus: blood drive", which means it should be part of the larger Sefi sub-brand, dedicated to exploitation films and retro-mild films. Remind that the late 2000s and the entire 2010s of the last century saw a powerful movement of low budget parties, retro-shop, usually represented by excessive, highly stylized aesthetics since the 1970s or 1980s. This subgenrael was followed by the publication of Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino 2007 two-Fair Greenhaus. That movie wasn't a hitBut cause infinite imitators, "blood drive" is one of them.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be no further emissions of Sefi under the midnight banner of Grindhouse, above the "blood drive", leaving iousubopity. It was the only TV show in its class. And, to repeat, it's great. Unlike many retro-Meleic films of the 2010s, "Blood Drive" understands his function. He knows he should go to the top to grab viewers, be as fierce, goose, surreal and sexual. It can be modeled after the "death 2000", but it is closer to the spirit of "cryptic stories", gladly separating human bodies or having sex with them, and not necessarily in that order. It may take a strong stomach to watch the series, but for the external experience researchers, Blood Drive will match the account.
