Sydney's pick, the bleak "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (1969) introduces Jake to the unbelievable world of depression era endurance dance marathons and the people who compete and dance for their lives. Jake's pick is the surprisingly prescient dystopian action film, "The Running Man," (1987) where the 80s vision of 2017 includes a sadistic game show where unlucky competitors must run for their lives.
