The Running Man (1987) - Movie Torture

from Movie Torture

Join Brad, Jacob, and MTD as they dive headfirst into the cinematic disaster that is "The Running Man" on this week's episode of "Movie Torture." In a world where 1987's vision of 2017 includes more shoulder pads than a football game and technology that makes a typewriter look advanced, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Ben Richards, a man who just can't catch a break. Wrongly accused and thrown into a game show where the contestants are hunted by villains with more personality than the script, Ben must navigate a dystopian nightmare filled with chainsaw-wielding maniacs and a singing electrician who thinks he's the next big thing.As always, our hosts bring their signature sarcasm and wit, questioning everything from the logic of the plot to the questionable fashion choices. Why does Arnold's beard look like it was glued on by a blindfolded makeup artist? And how did a movie with such a ridiculous premise become a cult classic? Tune in for a hilarious breakdown of a film that proves sometimes the real torture is just pressing play.Follow Movie Torture here:https://www.instagram.com/movietorturepod/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

We also compare three of the highest grossing films for that year to determine if the Oscars picked the best film of that year, or did moviegoers spend their money on a better movie at the theaters. Jeffrey HATES beer, but Tony is on a mission to find a brew that Jeffrey will enjoy.
