This month on The Carpenter Factor, Zak and Corey review Escape From New York! A beloved cult classic for a lot of people, but not necessarily for our two hosts. That doesn't mean Zak and Corey hate Escape From New York or anything, in fact it's quite the opposite, but they don't think it's on the same level as some of John Carpenter's other movies, especially the pacing.
