on a long overdue hotbox the cinema, we talk about the most dangerous game: battle royale, the endlessly popular and innovative video game subgenre. we get into games like fortnite and warzone, but also talk about the genre's origins in other media, from the iconic short story "the most dangerous game" to films like SURVIVING THE GAME, THE PEST, HARD TARGET, THE HUNT, FIGURES IN A LANDSCAPE, & more. why r we so fascinated with stories of humans hunting humans? what makes battle royale games different from esports? does playing call of duty make u a reactionary? why tf did john leguizamo make the pest? toke up, tune in, and learn the answers to these questions and so many more.
