You voted for it, so now you have to live with it! This week on the You Run Podcast, Scott and Marc are diving headfirst into Rob Jabbaz’s ultra-violent, face-melting 2021 Taiwanese horror sensation, The Sadness.
We follow a young couple trying to reunite across the city of Taipei amidst a sudden outbreak of the "Alvin Virus." But forget standard, brain-dead zombies—this virus mutates the brain's empathy centres, turning everyday citizens into sadistic, bloodthirsty sadomasochists who act on their absolute worst, most depraved impulses with a big, terrifying smile.
Is this a masterful, adrenaline-fueled masterpiece of modern body horror, or did the relentless, mean-spirited depravity finally push the boys past their breaking point?
Plus, we play a special survival game: Can Marc actually survive a zombie apocalypse in The Sadness universe? Knowing these zombies aren't just hungry, but deeply, aggressively sadistic... things are going to get ugly.
We’ll also dive into a fresh batch of listener voicemails, drop some production facts, and check out 3 Word Review
