Beschreibung

Cuz & Gus head back to Haddonfield for a Halloween classic that defined the slasher genre and made everyone check their closets before bed. Armed with a glass of something strong and a reckless sense of nostalgia, the boys dissect John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece — Halloween — where silence is scarier than blood and evil wears a William Shatner mask. They break down why Michael Myers kills (or doesn’t), why Jamie Lee Curtis is the original Final Girl, and why this low-budget indie still crushes modern horror 45 years later. It’s drinks, banter, and Boogeymen — the ultimate spooky-season rewind.

Episode 28: The Running Man Cover

28: The Running Man

It’s 2019… the dystopian hellscape we were promised back in the 80s. Cuz & Gus dive head-first into The Running Man, the neon-drenched, chaos-filled Arnold Schwarzenegger classic that somehow predicted reality TV, media manipulation, and America’s obsession with violence—just with more spandex and chainsaws. The guys break down the film’s infamously messy production (director fired, rewrites, budget implosions), Richard Dawson’s legendary villain turn as Damon Killian, and why the movie’s accidental campiness made it a cult favorite instead of the dark thriller Stephen King actually wrote. We cover the Stalkers, the weird game-show logic, the absolute 80s insanity of Dynamo singing opera in a light-up suit, and Arnold delivering one-liners like he’s being paid per pun. From satire that aged a little too well, to a remake on the horizon, to what this movie got shockingly right about the future, Cuz & Gus dig into all the blood, bullets, buzzsaws, and baked-in Reagan-era paranoia that make The Running Man one of Arnold’s most watchable disasters. Lights. Camera. Subzero. Now… plane zero.
