Hell To The King 12: 'The Running Man' (1987) — Cinesthesia

Cinesthesia tackles the first King adaptation written under his pen name Richard Bachman. Jim finds a new love in this dumb smart movie with a terrible title, unlike Romper Stomper, which is a terrible movie with a great title; he also pitches a movie in a smallternate universe. In The Running Man Arnold Schwarzenegger runs through a death gauntlet reality TV game show in a dystopian America. Packed with atrociously bad action movie lines, the film conveys everything with just visuals and sound effects. Join a filmmaker (and sometimes film teacher) and a film teacher (and sometimes filmmaker) as they venture into the dark heart of their own befuddled relationship to culture, the youth, the internet, friendship, love, hate, time, space and, of course: *m*o*v*i*e*s*. Come hear what we see.
