Show Notes
This week, we're joined by Rob Watts, host of the Icelandic cinema podcast KVIKMYNDAPOD, to discuss more dangerous dystopian games. We'll be diving into The Running Man (1987) and The Hunger Games (2012), two films that explore the terrifying reality of life-and-death competitions in dystopian futures.
The Running Man features a brutal televised hunt where contestants fight for their lives, while The Hunger Games presents a society where young tributes must battle to the death for the entertainment of the masses.
Join us as we examine the dark themes, social commentary, and high-stakes action that make these films unforgettable examples of dystopian cinema."
