“If I had to describe Badwater 135 in one word, it would be: Inferno.” - Mike Wardian

Ultra-marathon legend Mike Wardian, a 4-time USATF Ultra Runner of the Year, has shattered records and pushed boundaries across the globe. But nothing compares to the brutal challenge of the Badwater 135—a grueling 135-mile race through Death Valley, where temperatures soar to 130°F, starting at the lowest point in the U.S. and climbing to over 8,000 feet.

Inferno is an immersive docudrama that plunges you into Mike's punishing journey as he battles searing heat and relentless fatigue, while his crew fights to keep him on his feet. Part true story, part dramatized experience, this Running Scared jogcast captures every intense moment of the race.

Where have we been? Well, it's a bit of a story, but not as harrowing as the The First Omen (2024). As we dive into the prequel to the original Omen (which we reviewed back in EP67), we discuss the preposterousness of the evil plan, why does the devil like incest, are all the orphans children of the devil, Father Brennan is no spymaster, and where is this Franchise going? Plus some horror news about our favourite bad movie, the one line challenge and the Running Scared Award.
