Episode 139 - The Running Man

In this episode of the show we are talking about another Arnie cult classic from the 80s starting (sort of) with the letter R - The Running Man! Over the course of our conversation you will hear us argue about whether this movie is amazing or just a bit too much, how it functions as an Arnie best-of mixtape and how it may have marked an inflection point in the 80s as a whole. We also talk dystopian future, dangers of adapting Stephen King and straying away from the source material, the movie's prescience with regard to consumerism and addiction to media, and how nobody taught Jesse Ventura how to swallow pills correctly.
