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.

This week on the show, The Rejuvenator aka, Rejuvenatrix. But who are we kidding? This is basically Re-Animator! (which is basically Frankenstein).

Anyway, this is a cult regional horror from New Jersey, which made few waves upon release in 1988.

The plot? An ambitious scientist is mucking about with a brain serum anti aging agent. And one of his patrons, some Old Hollywood-styled dowager, insists he administer the experiential drug on her.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong? Turns out, quite a lot.

Tune into this week’s discussion of The Rejuvenator!
