Director Edgar Wright has remade The Running Man! The Richard Bachman (Stephen King) 1982 novel was set in a dystopian United States during the year 2025, so I guess this is the year to remake it. We talk about the superior adaptation from 1987 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then we get into the new one starring Glen Powell. The cast of the new Running Man also features William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Sean Hayes, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin. Glen Powell stars as Ben Richards who goes on a dangerous network TV reality show to try to survive 30 days and possibly win $1 billion dollars. Now we live in a world where the mass media is in heavy decline and The Running Man seems like a satire of network television that is way outdated. And that's just one of the many criticisms we'll throw at this latest rendition of The Running Man!
Get ready for a masterclass in hustle, heart, and hilarious setbacks as we dive into Milan Carter's unbelievable journey to landing "Barry" on Netflix's hit action-comedy FUBAR. Milan reveals how he delivered a self-tape so strong it could have been "dropped right into the episode"—complete with an improvised Slurpee cup and inventive tricks to handle the dense dialogue. He walks us through the intense, months-long battle to even audition for the role while under contract at Nickelodeon. The conversation also explores Carter's philosophical approach to acting, being your own biggest fan, and focusing on supporting fellow actors, even during chemistry reads with major stars like Schwarzenegger. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Milan Carter right here. Credits: FUBAR Dolemite Is My Name Warped!

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Elford Stephens, Phil Thomas, and Ryan Weaver. In our thrilling conclusion to our remastered version of our 2022 episode on the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" mod, we examine the fallout and the lasting legacy behind arguably the most infamous mod in the history of video games. Topics discussed include: the grandma who saved her grandchild from the M-rated game she bought, Take-Two runs afoul of the city of Flint, MI, the slapdash remastered editions of the Grand Theft Auto trilogy, and how many bad Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions can we cram into a single episode?For more on Hot Coffee and Rockstar, check out:David Kushner, Jacked: The Unauthorised Behind-the-Scenes Story of Grand Theft Auto (London: Collins, 2012).Simon Parkin, "Who Spilled Hot Coffee?"

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/

December 15 is Bill of Rights Day - it is also the launch date for a new organization comprised of over 40 retired state Supreme Court Chief Justices committed to educating the public about the role of the judiciary and protecting the constitutional balance put in place by the Founders. The Alliance of Former Chief Justices is a project of Keep Our Republic, a non-partisan civic education organization committed to "strengthening the vitality of America's democracy by promoting trust in elections, the rule of law, and the constitutional system of checks and balances."We're joined today by former California Supreme Court Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, who was appointed to the high court by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2010 and served until January 2023. Following her term on the Supreme Court she has served as the President and CEO of the Public Policy Institute of California. The launch of the new organization comes at a fraught time, as judges across the nation face heightened political pressure and public attacks. Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye spoke with us about the need to bolster the public's understanding of the judiciary and the crucial role the judiciary plays in the separation of powers that is a hallmark of the American system of government.2:20 In the future, everyone will be on the Capitol Weekly Podcast for 15 minutes3:16 A proposed amendment to limit traffic accident payouts4:57 Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye7:43 How is this going to work?9:00 A visit to SCOTUS11:42 When CA's Supreme Court went live14:02 How to introduce civics education to young people?15:19 The judiciary: least understood, most criticized branch of government15:35 Are the courts more politicized than before?20:50 The structure of the Alliance24:30 Court funding28:08 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

After the obviousness that was all our positive reviews of 1987's original Predator film, we knew that starting this week there would be some chinks in the title character's armor. Predator 2 was released around Thanksgiving in 1990 and even with Jim and John Thomas returning to pen the script, to say it wasn't received nearly as well would be an understatement. This may have to do with changing the director from well renowned action director John McTiernan to Aussie Stephen Hopkins (A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 The Dream Child). But the big change, of course, was changing out muscle bound full of machismo Ah-nold Schwarzenegger to Lethal Weapon's ‘I'm too old for this shit' Danny Glover. Listen to the latest Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast to hear Adam and Garrett recount their theatrical experiences of seeing the film (as Matt laughs at the fact it came out three years before he was born), and of course give their expectations and overall thoughts as they revisit Predator 2 for this long form review. Also, keep in mind that the co-hosts already reviewed the Alien Vs Predator films in the lead up to 2022's Prey (check for those reviews in the archives), so next week's review will be 2010's Predators!

In his chaotic quest for a Turbo Man doll, Howard Langston goes to extremes to find the toy on Christmas Eve. It's the stuff of Christmas slapstick comedy, right? In reality, society has always been obsessed with 'the must-have' gifts during the holiday season and parents have gone to even more extreme lengths for their kids, with both the Cabbage Patch riots of 1983 and the Power Rangers craze of 1993 proving beleaguered mums and dads will do anything to get the latest toy for their children, including chasing trucks and beating up store staff.Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Howard, a great mattress salesman, but a less-than-adequate husband and father. When his disappointed son tells him he wants a Turbo Man action figure, Howard springs into action on Christmas Eve, only to find every store out of stock. This is why you don't leave your Christmas shopping to the last minute!Despite the initial poor reception, Jingle All the Way has become an unlikely holiday classic, and an effective satire of the commercialization of Christmas. The movie has found new life through annual holiday season rewatches, with nostalgia playing a significant role in its enduring popularity.And in a weird twist of fate, the movie, which came out in November 1996, predicted exactly what parents would do to get a Tickle Me Elmo that year...I would love to hear your thoughts on Jingle All the Way !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

The BTTM guys are running their mouths about THE RUNNING MAN. Allan, Tyler, and Justin dig into the recent Edgar Wright-directed film and the same-named 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger star vehicle, which are both adapted -- to different degrees -- from the novel by Stephen King (under his Richard Bachman alias). It's a boisterous discussion among three guys whose reactions range from ambivalent to underwhelmed to disgusted. Maybe the trickiest adaptation to rate for the Better Than the Movie fellas since the HALLOWE'EN PARTY / A HAUNTING IN VENICE debacle of BTTM episode 7. Enjoy! Hosted by Tyler Austin, Justin Remer, and Allan Traylor. Produced by Justin Remer. Recorded at the LAPL Octavia Lab.

Moviewallas is on YouTube! Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly home for film reviews, movie news, and unscripted banter. In Episode 583, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi return with three eclectic films — a genre classic, a melancholic sci-fi indie, and a striking festival discovery. The Running Man The team revisits this 1987 sci-fi action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, based on a novel by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman). With dystopian satire, over-the-top set pieces, and prophetic media commentary, this one sparks discussion about tone, influence, and whether it's aged like fine cheese or fine wine. Eternity A meditative sci-fi indie that blends time travel with grief, memory, and philosophical introspection. The group discusses structure, pacing, and how smaller films use sci-fi not for spectacle but to explore human emotion and existential questions. Jay Kelly A Tribeca 2024 entry featuring a breakout performance and a quietly bold visual style. The hosts examine what makes this intimate drama stand out, especially among recent indie debuts, and how character and form can create lasting impact.

Send us a textIt's the second part of our HUGmas season of alternative Christmas movie podcasts, and this week, Liam and Rob are going full Tubi and looking back at 1997's, Jack Frost. No, not the one with Michael Keaton and a magical harmonica, the one released a year earlier with a homicidal snowman and enough ice related murder puns to make Arnold Schwarzenegger blush. Is it good? Well, objectively, no it is not......is it fun though? Oh, and is that Shannon Elizabeth having a bath for no reason whatsoever? Yeah, it's that kind of movie. Listen in via the link in the bio and see if this b-movie Christmas horror is worth a watch this holiday season.
Peter starts the podcast by recapping a weekend in Los Angeles, in which he watched what could have been the end of the Chiefs dynasty alongside Troy Aikman, listened to Arnold Schwarzenegger walk through a hotel lobby, discussed movies with Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears, and watched one of the weirdest "Monday Night Football" games ever. Peter weighs in on Josh Allen's potential to go back to back MVPs, the Houston Texans defense, and the Jaguars as a team nobody is talking about. Six-time Super Bowl Champion Josh McDaniels joins the show for a deep-dive on his career, his philosophy on coaching, and his many insights on Drake Maye and the 2025 New England Patriots. McDaniels talks at length about his time with Tom Brady, the Super Bowl wins, and what he's learned and taken with him along the way. Stories on Randy Moss, Gronk, Julian Edelman are matched with promising insights on young Patriots stars Drake Maye, TreVeyon Henderson, and Pop Douglas. McDaniels discusses his year away from football in 2024, how he got right, and why he's ready to do it all over again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Episode 111 - Pack your bags, and make sure you pack lightly because you are going to be paddling over 20 miles from an island in the southern pacific to the nearest airport. But of course, you aren' t Arnold in the 80's, and you aren't trying to get to Los Angeles to be reunited with your biological twin from whom you were separated at birth, and this twin just happens to be Danny Devito. Of course with this ridiculous synopsis, we are talking the Ivan Reitman 80's classic Twins (1988). Strap yourself in for a fun ride, and then fasten your seatbelt because following this romp Marco will reveal what brooding philosophical and existential theme we will transition into next month.email all comments and complaints to mracfilmclub@gmail.com

"It came for the thrill of the hunt. It picked the wrong man to hunt." Predator (1987) features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Sonny Landham, and was directed by John McTiernan (who also directed 1988's Die Hard). One by one, the predator hunts and massacres soldiers, and eventually kills a rescue team led by Schwarzenegger's Dutch.

The myth of the self-made man is just that, a myth. There has never been such a thing.
After going through a month of movies involving stories about man eating sharks, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast crew decided it would take on a series involving a different kind of predator. In fact, it's about THE predator, which had another entry in the franchise come out a couple months ago. But before they get there, as always, the guys have to start from where it all began. When 1987's Predator was first greenlit, it is widely believed the reason was because it was piggybacking off the back of 20th Century Fox's successes with two other space oriented franchises, Star Wars and Alien. What came of it was a new franchise that carried on with sequels and (the already covered) tie-ins that make Predator's title creature amongst one of cinema's most popular characters. Especially with Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast's very own Adam. Join Adam, Matt, and Garrett as they dive into director John McTiernan's 1987 testosterone fueled Arnold Schwarzenegger original film,and lead up to a review of this year's aforementioned film Predator Badlands!

Sources tell me Prince Harry has been gently but firmly urging Meghan to reach out to her father, Thomas Markle, who remains in intensive care in the Philippines after emergency surgery. Meanwhile, insiders say Miley Cyrus had quietly been planning her own proposal—collecting ring inspo and looping in trusted friends—only for Maxx Morando to beat her to the punch with a surprise engagement. And in another corner of Hollywood, sources close to the Schwarzenegger family reveal that Christopher Schwarzenegger was privately frustrated after being mistaken online for his half-brother Joseph Baena in recent holiday photos, a mix-up he’s increasingly fed up with.

If there was an episode that defines the what The Nostalgia Test Podcast is all about, it's this one! There is more conversation about Arnold Schwarzenegger's naked ass, awkward sex scenes with useless boobs, how this whole movie is just about a son from the future getting there time traveling virgin father laid, and what's wrong with people that have lizards as pets in a movie where a murderous cyborg kills more people than has spoken words of dialogue. Oh! And let's not forget the gang trying to figure out how anyone in the future is having sex at all on top of and underneath skulls and sheets of metal. And sure, they talk about Arnold, the explosions, the guns, and try to solve the time traveling paradoxes of this film.

Bobbie BrownTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Bobbie Brown. Bobbie first gained notoriety as a 'video vixen' in rock music videos on MTV. Appearing in videos for the bands Hurricane, Great White, and Warrant. In this episode, we chat about how she grew up in Baton Rouge, dreaming of being a model, and then moved to Los Angeles to make those dreams come true. We cover her time on Star Search, where she was the winningest contestant in any category, in the history of the show. Then we talk about how she got into performing in music videos and eventually meeting and marrying the lead singer of Warrant, Jani Lane. Along the way, we discuss substance abuse, the music career that never was, her auditions for Scorsese, and Spielberg, and working with Arnold Schwarzenegger, her relationship with Tommy Lee, meeting OJ Simpson, and so much more! Naturally we talk about her autobiography (Dirty Rocker Boys), and the new memoir that she is working on currently. Bobbie was part of the cast of the reality show 'Ex Wives of Rock' which lasted 4 seasons, and we do talk a bit about that as well. More recently, during Covid, Bobbie had her identity stolen, her money stolen, and through all of this led her to have a life changing Holy experience. Of course, we touched on those experiences and how they left her a changed woman. Bobbie is starting to tour the country attending conventions. Catch her at a con near you and tell her you heard her on Fascination Street Podcast.

SCTV's Dave Thomas talks about making bold life choices, growing up in Canada, Shakespeare saving his ass, choosing between big money success as an ad man or being a broke improviser at Second City, becoming head writer on SCTV, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, Grace Under Fire, running an animation studio, turning to dramas like Bones and The Black List, going to Ukraine, Thailand, Mad Magazine, The McKenzie Brothers, Chester Hope, and how, to make it in Hollywood, you need at least two of these three things, Talent, Drive, & Luck. Bio: David William Thomas was born May 20, 1949, in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is the eldest son of British parents, Moreen Duff Muir (May 4, 1928 – May 18, 2022), a church organist for thirty years originally from Glasgow, Scotland and composer of church music, and John E. Thomas (1926–1996), a medical ethicist from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales who was head of the Philosophy Department at McMaster University, and the author of several books. Dave's younger brother, Ian Thomas, is a Canadian singer-songwriter. The family moved temporarily to Durham, North Carolina, where his father attended Duke University and earned a PhD in philosophy. The family moved back to Dundas, Ontario, in 1961, where Dave attended Dundas District high school, and later graduated with an honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[1] Starting his career as a copywriter at ad agency McCann Erickson in 1974, Thomas became the head writer of the Coca-Cola account in Canada within a year. After watching a Second City stage show in Toronto, and while suffering from self-described "boredom" in his advertising work, he auditioned for the Second City troupe and was chosen as a performer.[2] He was a cast member of the Toronto production of Godspell, along with Victor Garber, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, and Andrea Martin.[3] Paul Shaffer was the musical director.[3 He first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian TV comedy series SCTV, joining Godspell castmates Levy, Martin and later Short, plus Rick Moranis, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara and others. Notable characters on the show include Doug McKenzie of beer-swilling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie, editorialist Bill Needle, Scottish scone-chef/bluesman Angus Crock, motor-mouthed TV ad announcer Harvey K-Tel, Lowery organist/curio pitchman Tex Boil and the "Cruising Gourmet". Thomas's first film role was in Home to Stay, directed by Delbert Mann, in which Thomas played in a scene with Hollywood legend Henry Fonda. He then wrote, co-directed, and starred in the Bob & Doug McKenzie feature film Strange Brew. Soon after, he wrote for and acted in The New Show, produced by Lorne Michaels during his hiatus from Saturday Night Live. Short-lived, this show featured a powerhouse writing staff including Thomas along with Buck Henry, George Meyer, Jack Handey, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Valri Bromfield and Steve Martin. Thomas tried his hand at network television hour-long shows in 1986 when he wrote and co-executive produced Steel Collar Man for CBS. The pilot was produced but did not go to series. He co-wrote Spies Like Us (1985) with Dan Aykroyd. In 1988, Thomas wrote another hour long show for CBS, B Men, which was back ordered, but Thomas took a directing job at Paramount, which caused the network to drop the series. He reportedly introduced John Travolta and Kelly Preston while directing them in the Paramount film The Experts. He wrote for, produced, and starred in The Dave Thomas Comedy Show (1990). In 1991, he starred in the Showtime comedy, Public Enemy #2. In 1992, he tried his hand at reality TV and co-executive produced ABC's America's Funniest People with Vin Di Bona, but left after thirteen weeks to appear in the film Coneheads. In 1993, he co-starred in ABC's Grace Under Fire with Brett Butler and Tom Poston and continued with the show for 5 seasons. In 1995 Thomas starred in the ABC television film Picture Perfect with Mary Page Keller and Richard Karn. In 1995 Thomas produced a pilot of a game show called Family Challenge for ABC. When ABC did not pick up the series, Thomas sold Family Challenge to the Family Channel, where he produced 144 episodes of the show spread over 2 seasons. In 1996, Thomas played the title role in the Fox television film Mr. Foster's Field Trip aka Kidz in the Wood with Julia Duffy.

In 2001–2002 Thomas appeared with Eugene Levy and Martin Short on Short's show Primetime Glick as Bob Hope (an impression he had first developed for SCTV with great success). In 2002, he co-starred with Jason Priestley, Dave Foley, and Ewen Bremner in Fancy Dancing. The next year he played a lead role in Beethoven's 5th. In 2003, he directed a hospital comedy feature film entitled Whitecoats, which he also wrote. As of 2004, Thomas was on the official Advisory Committee for the Comedy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world. In 2004, he and Moranis again worked together voicing Rutt and Tuke, two moose based on the McKenzie Brothers, in Disney's animated feature Brother Bear.[4] Thomas has had a long career doing voices for animation including Animaniacs, Duckman, CatDog, The Adventures of Tarzan, Justice League and multiple roles on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy. In 2005, he had a guest stint as Charlize Theron's "Uncle Trevor" on Fox's Arrested Development. In 2006, he reprised his voice role in Brother Bear 2 and appeared as himself in the feature film The Aristocrats. He began production on ArnoldSpeaks.com, a video blog, as the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger; Animax Entertainment won an Emmy for a broadband animated series produced for ESPN, Off Mikes. In 2007, Thomas and Rick Moranis reprised their roles as Bob and Doug McKenzie in a one-hour special, Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary, for CBC Television. The show featured cameos from McKenzie celeb fans like Ben Stiller, Dave Foley, Tom Green, Paul Shaffer, Andy Dick, Matt Groening, Barry Pepper, Martin Short, and Geddy Lee. Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin was the host. In 2008, Thomas revived Bob and Doug McKenzie in a new animated series, Bob & Doug. While Thomas reprises the character of Doug in the new series, Moranis chose not to voice the character of Bob, which instead is voiced by Dave Coulier. Moranis is, however, involved in the series as an executive producer.[5] In November 2009, Thomas received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from his alma mater McMaster University and gave the fall convocation speech. In 2010 Animax continued to produce branded entertainment, advertising and digital shorts for corporations like Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC Universal, and Kodak. In 2011, Thomas's company Animax produced another animated show for MTV entitled Big Box along with numerous Internet shorts such as Life With Dad.[6][7] In 2012 and 2013 Thomas guest starred in the dramatic shows Perception and Bones as well as comedy shows Comedy Bang! Bang! and How I Met Your Mother. In addition in 2013 Thomas voiced the recurring role of Jeff Foxworthy's father Jesco in the CMT show Bounty Hunters. Thomas joined the writing staff of the Fox crime drama television series Bones beginning in 2013. Thomas worked for two seasons on Bones, writing several episodes and working on staff as consulting producer for two seasons.[8] In 2015 Thomas joined the writing staff of NBC's The Blacklist as a consulting producer. In 2020 life-sized statues of Thomas and Rick Moranis as their characters Bob and Doug McKenzie were put in place at the ICE District Sports Arena in Edmonton, Alberta.[9] Also in 2020, the Governor-General of Canada announced that Thomas was being appointed to the Order of Canada,[10] Canada's highest civilian award. In 2021, Thomas and Max Allan Collins teamed to write a sci-fi mystery novel, The Many Lives of Jimmy Leighton.
