Running Scared

Is a franchise a blessing or a burden? Running Scared co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts take apart the latest edition in the Exorcist franchise and look at how it echoed and subverted the original classic film from 1973. It gets heated between Rob and Jamie when we ask the big questions. Was scripted racial tension edited out of the final cut? Did the opening scene echo the original or subvert it? Do our expectations bog down our read of this film, or are we looking for fan service? Does Priest "Wild Thing" Vaughn save the day in the ninth inning?  Or does it take a community of spiritual healers to take on Panzuzu? Why does Rob keep calling him Panzu and Blumhouse "Bloom house"? All will be answered but you must choose to listen!

Take the apocalyptic tone of a zombie film and swap in the unrelenting dread of demonic possessions and you have a starting point to enter the critically acclaimed When Evil Lurks (2023) by director Demián Rugna.

TRIGGER WARNING. This film depicts violence towards children and child death. Our review discusses this aspect of the film. If this subject makes you uncomfortable, we warn that this film and review might not be something you want to listen to.

Co-hosts Jamie Roberts and Robert Lendrum discuss the mechanics of the rules in this film, bodily fluids, you can't kill Aquaman with water, Ruiz the agitated landlord, the main character Pedro aka Yelly McYellerson aka Major Payne, worst sidekicks, plus Jamie tries to redeem himself on the One Line Challenge, another edition of Monster Metrics, and as always, the Running Scared Award. It all ends with a boil full of happiness for everyone.

Running Scared co-hosts Jamie and Rob take you "behind the scenes" on the production of our latest jogcast "The Belly". We talk about how the script came to be, define a jogcast, what we're trying to do with a jogcast, how acting elevates them, the mix and design of the piece as well as some of the inspiration for the stories. Recorded for the first time together in Hamilton, ON, you might notice a sound quality difference as we share the mic and share ideas for running audio.

Happy Holidays Scaredy Cats! For this year's holiday pod, cohosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts lean into action thriller and Christmas classic Die Hard 2 (1990) starring Bruce Willis as John McClane. We enter the debate surrounding this film's status as a Christmas movie, discuss the everyman vs. the supermen, air traffic safety mishaps, how not to exchange gifts in public if you're evil, naked Tae Bo, and we compare this film and the villains to it's predecessor. It's the action packed, murderous and R rated version of Home Alone!

In a near future, inmates and old friends, Booker Reed (Son of Sonnet) and Mac Rossi (Tristan Snyder), work hard labour in an underwater mining prison called the Belly. Mac is in for stealing oxygen credits and Booker for being too loyal to Mac. He could have turned on Mac but instead he shared the wrap and lost good years with his wife and kids. After hearing a mysterious and intermittent sound, Mac witnesses Booker and everyone else in the prison transform into mindless violent murderers. Pushing his bum heart to the limit, Mac tries to escape the belly of madness with his best friend. With Booker’s experience as an engineer, they might just make it out. Unless he tears Mac apart along the way. An immersive audio-horror, this Running Scared Jogcast will motivate and entertain you on your next jog! Best experienced with headphones on a long run.
