457. Runaway (1984) — Torture Cinema #123

Tom Selleck, missile guns, and delayed gratification robots, oh my! Shaun Duke and Becca Evans join forces to tackle Runaway (1984), a film selected based on a poll put together by longtime listener, Jeff Xilon. Thanks a lot, Jeff… Together, Shaun and Becca tackles the film’s strange production history, why Gene Simmons is so weird, how the film treats family and the future of robots, and many other strange and silly subjects.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
