Toilet Radio 585 – Dark Match

The October Spooktacular continues as we sit down to watch Dark Match (2024), a Shudder original horror film about pro wrestling in late-80’s Canada. This one is directed by Lowell Dean (Wolf Cop), starring Ayisha Issa (Brick Mansions), Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead, Trevor in Grand Theft Auto V), and Chris Jericho (Sturgis Motorcycle Rally). Dark Match is a simple tale about a crew of wrestlers invited to perform at an off-the-grid private party that quickly becomes a satanic nightmare. It’s kinda like regional wrestling meets Green Room and also Mortal Kombat. We’re talking about grisly special effects, extremely dark lighting, wildly shifting tones, and Chris Jericho’s time at the Steven Seagal School of Acting While Sitting. Folks… it’s a good one.
