This week on the podcast, an atypical 80s slasher: Fatal Games.

In advance of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, we turn our attention to sports-related horror on the show.

This shoestring effort dials back the gore, and dials up the eye candy.

It’s a spirited effort that benefits from strong performances and notable character actors like Sally Kirkland (The Sting) in lead roles.

So, subscribe, check out the discussion of Fata Games and watch this not exactly podium-worthy entry into the 80s horror milieu.
