How could a simply movie about three young girls riding their motorcycles from Colorado to California change the lives of Bobby and Mike forever? Strap in listeners, this one is a bumpy ride.

Future-Kill is what happens when you mix a frat comedy, with a post-apocalyptic slasher film... in other words, it makes NO sense. A truly weird movie with an even weirder backstory, Future-Kill is a Grindbin movie like no other. Thanks to our Patron Gregory Freeman for the request!

Copyright infringement the movie!
