The Running Man

from Nostalgium Arcanum · host Doug Lief

It's time to start running! Cheesy, gratuitous, and satirically biting, The Running Man showcases everything that makes 80s movies great, and why no one can anchor a film and deliver one, two, and three-liners like Arnold Schwarzenegger. We're joined by a full panel to stalk this classic including comedian Rich Baker (@ricbakercoaching), filmmaker Alex Sosin ("The Canyon"), and podcaster Jala Prendes (Jala-Chan's Place, Duckfeed.tv's The Level). We pack in everything, so we hope you left enough room for our fist. Check out the teaser for Alex's film, "The Canyon" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFFWbNbdtKA Be sure to also check out our monthy musical podcast, Playing By Ear! - https://playingbyear.fireside.fm If you want to take an online improv class from Rich, go to www.daretofailimprov.com (first class is free!).
