About this listen
For Eliza's last pick of the month, she brought on friend of the podcast (and its hosts) to talk about a legendary German TV Movie. Locked away for decades, The Million Game had built up a mythic reputation as a film that felt so real yet so disturbing that it had never been allowed to be shown again (when, really, it was just because the people who made it didn't actually have the rights to do so.)
When the film was finally allowed to be screened again in the early 2000s, the German public found one of the earliest entries in the death game genre, a satire on the world of reality TV before reality TV had even been invented, and just a damn good movie. For those who haven't seen The Million Game, watch it now. For those who have, listen to Gordon, Eliza, and Christof discuss all its strengths.
