HI-FI PIZZA OF THE APOCALYPSE 6: The AMERICAN GLADIATORS movie

Inspired by this apocalyptic moment from an old Daniel Clowes Eightball comic, Hi-Fi Pizza of the Apocalypse is a Monsters and Rockets feature where we chronicle the Hollywood rehashes, recyclings and recombinings that serve as ominous portents of the End Times.

Variety reports that Point Break screenwriter Peter Iliff is now at work on an American Gladiators movie. The story will apparently feature the steroid cases from the old syndicated TV sports competition series as superheroes.

Yes, this is really a thing.

Now let's enjoy our pepperoni with the soothing sounds of Taylor Swift, as we await the first big boom of the End of Days.
