It didn\u2019t matter that Twisted Metal III<\/i> and Twisted Metal: Black<\/i> had been released the previous two years. This was a Twisted Metal 2<\/i> household.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I click on the Youtube link for the \u201cTwister Metal Season 1 Teaser\u201d, I\u2019m thinking: the only way this show is a true success is if they do a Ryan-Reynolds-Detective-Pikachu vibe and go full-on playful with their nostalgia. Otherwise, its gonna be Fast and the Furious <\/i>with Juggalos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, looks like Sony Pictures Television got the idea.<\/p>\n
Anthony Mackie browses through a dusty cd case that looks straight out of 1995, Len\u2019s \u201cSteal My Sunshine\u201d plays, and the battle royale begins.<\/p>\n
Twisted Metal <\/i><\/a>has all the components of a late-summer streaming success, and to answer the question: yes, it can fulfill our middle school nostalgia demands.<\/p>\n It might even have what it takes to bring its own signature to the Twisted Metal name, and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.4px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font_size=”19px” header_3_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Two of the executive producers of Twisted Metal <\/i>are Rhett Reese<\/a> and Paul Wernick<\/a>. If those names don\u2019t immediately throw sparks at you, the pair are the writing partners who have written the Zombieland <\/i><\/a>and Deadpool <\/i><\/a>franchises. Will Arnett<\/a> also serves as an executive producer.<\/p>\n The series\u2019 first season will be ten 30-minute episodes helmed by showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith<\/a>, AKA the creator of the beloved Cobra Kai<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.4px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font_size=”19px” header_3_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It\u2019s not like, \u201csmash your face in with five decades of acclaim\u201d like Killers of the Flower Moon<\/i><\/a>, but the cast is formidably awesome. Anthony Mackie<\/a> is the amiable smart-ass in a fast car with a shotgun. When a showrunner does it up right, amiable-smartass-with-a-shotgun is one of the coolest character tropes in the universe (Woody Harrelson<\/a> in Zombieland <\/i><\/a>is a fine example).<\/p>\n Will Arnett will voice Sweet Tooth, the maniacal flame-headed clown that has wreaked havoc since the original 1995 Twisted Metal<\/i>. The physical Sweet Tooth is played by Samoa Joe. Honestly, hearing Bojack Horseman in a husky clown body might throw some viewers, but we\u2019re here for it.<\/p>\n Supporting Arnett and Mackie are Stephanie Beatriz<\/a> and Tahj Vaughans<\/a>, the only other two actors credited with at least six episodes. Thomas Haden Church<\/a> and Neve Campbell<\/a> both show up for one episode.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stephanie-Beatriz-in-Twisted-Metal.jpg” alt=”Stephanie Beatriz in Twisted Metal” title_text=”Stephanie Beatriz in Twisted Metal” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||5px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#969696″ text_font_size=”14px” text_letter_spacing=”1px” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Stephanie Beatriz<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.4px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font_size=”19px” header_3_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How else did you think we were gonna tie in Twisted Metal <\/i>with Louisiana filmmakers?\u00a0<\/p>\n According to IMDB, Twisted Metal <\/i>was a four-month shoot from May to September 2022. Mackie is a New Orleans native and has recently been putting down fresh roots in the city – in the spring of 2022, Deadline reported<\/a> that he was building a studio in New Orleans East, and in September 2022, Mackie partnered with GAF<\/a>, a roof manufacturer, to put resources into rebuilding homes that have been affected by natural disasters. This partnership\u2019s mission began its efforts in his hometown of New Orleans.\u00a0 <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.4px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font_size=”19px” header_3_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n That\u2019s the formula for the Paul Wernick-Rhett Reese writing brand. Take a jaded, lovable a**hole with a huge emotional center, put them in a wasteland with some ammo, and let them run amok.<\/p>\n Fans of the Twisted Metal<\/i> franchise will get five hours of summer destruction to binge. There\u2019s absolutely no shame if you find yourself clutching a controller and calling downstairs for corndogs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Twisted Metal <\/i>will premiere on Peacock on July 27th.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_font_size=”19px” global_colors_info=”{}” global_module=”7463″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\nThe production team behind <\/b>Twisted Metal <\/i><\/b>has a fantastic track record.<\/b><\/h2>\n
All you had to say was \u201cWill Arnett\u201d and I\u2019m in. <\/b><\/h2>\n
Twisted Metal <\/i><\/b>was filmed in New Orleans.<\/b><\/h2>\n
The recipe: Apocalypse + mayhem + irreverent glee<\/b><\/h2>\n
