POPULARITY
We're back with yet another episode about a film that fits squarely into the surprisingly extensive dystopian/post-apacolyptic game-show subgenre: 1987's mega hit The Running Man. For this round, Chad Lott and Marc Kate from Scary Thoughts join us to chat about Arnold's epically stilted line readings, the eternal humor of nut shots, deepfake technology, the artistic versatility of a well-timed one-liner, Paula Abdul supremacy, TV personality Richard Dawson's rousing villainy, iconic mustard-hued tracksuit fashion, arrantly misogynistic motifs in 80's action cinema, video game tropes in movies, the apathetic endgame of pervasive disinformation, and whether a piece of mainstream entertainment can ever successfully critique the spectacle of media without appearing hypocritically complicit. It's a rollicking good time! Enjoy!
Completing the circle of talking with the “Scary Thoughts” hosts is Marc Kate. Marc helps the boys break down the beauty of outsider art, talks about why kids shouldn't listen to their parents' music and explains how he fell out of love with Stranger Things.

In this episode, your horrific hosts Chad Lott and Marc Kate travel back in time to the film that many believe kicked off the recent retro-horror zeitgeist, 2009’s House of the Devil. This film was well received at the time, but may be getting a bit crowded out by recent films in the same sub-genre. The discussion covers the Satanic Panic of the 80s, decisions to work with smaller budgets to retain creative control, and exposes one host’s unforgivable love for Forest Gump.
In episode 3 co-hosts Marc Kate and Chad Lott get into director David Robert Mitchell’s 2014 film, It Follows. This unique film exemplifies many of the traits of the modern, stylish auteur-horror.
