At long last director Edgar Wright finally makes an appearance on The Kingcast and he brought some friends along. Wright stops by to talk about his current Stephen King adaptation, The Running Man, and it just so happens that his cast was also promoting the movie so you're going to get Stephen King Origin Stories (TM) from stars Glen Powell, Lee Pace, and Josh Brolin before a lengthy chat with Edgar about constructing this particular adaptation, Stephen King's reaction to it and notes along the way, the Richard Bachman of it all, and King's adoration of Shaun of the Dead.
On this week's episode, we sit down with the visionary writer and director, Edgar Wright—the man who invented Baby Driver's musical choreography and perfected the genre-bending Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End).

Dom Lenoir sits with Edgar over a hot chocolate and breaks down the bold decisions that define his career, this is a masterclass in visual storytelling and technical filmmaking. If you are an aspiring filmmaker looking to inject rhythm, precision, and unique style into your projects, this episode is essential listening.

On this week's episode, Cody kicks things off with an enthusiastic discussion about some of the exciting news emerging from the highly anticipated New York Comic-Con 2025. He shares with Joe the thrilling announcement regarding the much-celebrated return of Jessica Jones, a character that has garnered a loyal fanbase, as she will be portrayed once again by the talented actress Kristen Ritter in the upcoming season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. This revival has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, who are eager to see how Jessica's character will evolve within the gritty narrative of Hell's Kitchen. Additionally, Cody reveals that there will be a new addition to the cast for this season: none other than Matthew Lillard, known for his diverse roles in both film and television, who will take on the character of Mr. Charles. This character is expected to serve as a formidable rival to Vincent D'Onofrio's iconic portrayal of Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin. The dynamic between these characters promises to add depth and intrigue to the unfolding storylines.Continuing the conversation, Cody expresses his enthusiasm about Edgar Wright's upcoming project, The Running Man, which has been generating buzz in the film community. He discusses the unique approach Wright is known for, particularly his ability to blend humor with action, and how this might redefine the classic narrative originally conceived by Stephen King. Cody's excitement is palpable as he transitions to a discussion about anime, specifically highlighting his anticipation for the new season of One-Punch Man. This leads to an engaging dialogue between the two about the intricacies of anime, including the often-controversial topic of filler episodes. They explore how filler can sometimes detract from the main storyline, yet also provide opportunities for character development and world-building, leading to a deeper appreciation of the medium.As the episode progresses, the conversation shifts to literature, with both Cody and Joe sharing insights about the books they are currently reading. Cody dives into a discussion about The End of the World as We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand, a collection of short stories that expand upon the universe of King's iconic novel. He elaborates on how these new tales offer fresh perspectives and narratives that enrich the original story, and how they resonate with contemporary themes of survival and morality. Joe then shares his own literary journey, revealing that he has started reading the latest installment in the Robert Langdon series, titled The Secret of Secrets. This prompts a lively exchange about Dan Brown's distinctive writing style, his penchant for weaving intricate puzzles, and the thrill of uncovering hidden truths within historical contexts.To wrap up the episode, the guys delve into a discussion about the novel "S." by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. They explore the innovative narrative structure of the book, which combines a story with margins filled with annotations, letters, and other ephemera that create a multi-layered reading experience. Cody and Joe contemplate the implications of such a format on storytelling and how it challenges traditional narratives, inviting readers to engage in a more interactive way. Their conversation reflects a shared appreciation for creativity in literature and the evolving nature of storytelling in both books and other media. Overall, this episode is packed with insights, excitement, and a celebration of the rich tapestry of storytelling across various platforms.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy
Tonight on the GeekNights Book Club, we discuss Stephen King's Richard Bachman's The Running Man (1982). In 2025, the world's economy is in shambles, and America has become a totalitarian dystopia. The better-known Arnold movie is loosely based on it, though thematically it was spot-on. The 2025 Edgar Wright film will be much closer to the original. In the news, No Kings Day is October 18th: find the march nearest you! The next GeekNights book club book will be I Who Have Never Known Men.Related LinksForum ThreadBook Club: The Running Man (1982)Discord ChatBook Club: The Running Man (1982)Bluesky PostBook Club: The Running Man (1982)Things of the DayRym - DC Juries Refuse to Indict ProtestorsScott - The Most Important Device in the Universe
Gizmodo's Germain Lussier joins Dave Weekly on Hotline to talk about the buzz surrounding Edgar Wright's reboot of The Running Man — and why this update could finally capture the dystopian edge of modern reality TV. They also unpack the disappointing box office fate of Tron: Ares, Jared Leto's polarizing role, and whether Disney's long-running franchise has finally flatlined. The conversation wraps with baseball talk, streaming trends, and a little nostalgic love for Schwarzenegger's one-liners
This week on Spooky Szn, we shuffle into the world of the undead for one of the greatest horror-comedies of all time: Edgar Wright's "Shaun of the Dead (2004)!"Lemar is in absolute heaven, celebrating this film as one of his all-time favorites, raving about its pitch-perfect pacing, razor-sharp visual humor, and genuine love for the zombie genre. Mackenzie, however, still isn't a fan of zombie flicks... but even she finds the fun, witty heart in this blood-soaked rom-com.Join the hosts as they dig into the genius of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, dissecting how the film perfectly balances gut-busting laughs with surprisingly poignant drama and gory horror. We talk about the themes of arrested development, the true meaning of friendship, and whether a trip to the Winchester is really the best plan for a zombie apocalypse. Grab a Cornetto, a pint, and maybe a cricket bat, because we're going to tear apart this classic piece of British brilliance.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

Here comes the Fuzz! Alex McPherson of PoplifeSTL brings in Edgar Wright's cop comedy Hot Fuzz for Josh and Andrew to take a look and probe their thoughts. Together, the trio discuss the sidesplitting highlights, its nature as a Tony Scott parody/giallo/bromance befitting the Dudes Rock! canon, and if it fits within the guidelines of Copaganda. Along with their differing thoughts on Wright's movies, you're in for a debrief that provides the greater good (“the greater good!”) elevating Hot Fuzz's reputation as more than just a funny movie. Following that is One More Thing, where they recommend YouTube channel Be Kind Rewind and iFixit.com.Read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

(Note please excuse some technical difficulties. Tadd has been working on his computer and despite making sure everything was working an hour or so before the stream it of course went ot shit right as the show started) It is mostly fine but there is a bit of roughness in the first few minutes.) In the latest Round Table Tadd and Peter talk about The Long Walk and a bit about The Institute (Peter has finished it but Tadd has not yet) adaptations. Then dive into the news including Rat is getting another try as an adaptation, Edgar Wright is obviously changing the end of The Running Man (and King approves), Tarantino has maybe the dumbest take on IT we have ever heard, some interesting facts on Salem's Lot to celebrate it's 50th Anniversary, an interview with Tom Gordon on King using him in the book that bears his name, and one guy ranks the top 10 King novels in two lists one for the 20th and another for the 21st century.

his week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda dive into one of the wildest, weirdest experiments in modern cinema: 2007's Grindhouse, the double-feature mashup from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. On one side you've got Rodriguez's gooey, gonzo Planet Terror, a zombie-action extravaganza filled with melting bodies, exploding heads, and a machine gun leg. On the other, Tarantino's Death Proof, a talky, tense, and brutal slasher on wheels starring Kurt Russell as a stuntman with murderous intentions. Throw in some fake trailers from the likes of Edgar Wright, Rob Zombie, and Eli Roth, and what you've got is a love letter to trash cinema that's messy, ambitious, and unlike anything else that's come out of Hollywood in the last twenty years. Clay and Amanda unpack what worked, what didn't, and why the whole package still holds a strange place in horror fans' hearts.Now, that's all well and good, but I have to admit something: when I heard they were covering Grindhouse, my brain went in a totally different direction. Because to me, “Grind” means one thing — MTV's The Grind, the sweaty, neon-soaked, mid-'90s dance party beamed into homes across America every afternoon. You know the one — crop tops, Jock Jams, people doing the Macarena under pulsating strobe lights. Honestly, I thought Clay and Amanda were about to drop the definitive podcast documentary on Eric Nies' greatest cultural contribution. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be about exploding pustules and creepy stuntmen instead of body glitter and choreographed hip thrusts.Still, horror fans are in for a treat, even if my dance nostalgia remains tragically unmet. Join Clay and Amanda as they revisit Grindhouse—just, you know, the blood-soaked one, not the bass-thumping one.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!

En attendant la sortie de la nouvelle adaptation du roman éponyme de Stephen King signée Edgar Wright, les comparses Stéphane Moïssakis et Julien Charpentier se penchent sur RUNNING MAN de Paul Michael Glaser, avec Arnold Schwarzenegger qui tente de sauver sa peau dans un jeu télévisée meurtrier. Et le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est qu'ils déboulonnent gentiment cette petite série B, restée "un bon souvenir" dans l'esprit des nostalgiques des années 80.

Episode 181 is another installation of our Page to Screen series, this time with Scott Pilgrim! We read the comic series by Bryan Lee O'Malley and watched the film adaptation. It might be the most Toronto thing we've ever read or watched!Show NotesThe Scott Pilgrim comic series was released in six digest-size volumes between 2004-2010, and was originally published in black and white. Hardcover colour versions were released between 2012-2015.Edgar Wright directed the film, with Bryan Lee O'Malley as executive producer, and he nails the stylized look so that the film feels like a comic book come to life.Both the book and the film feature some iconic Toronto locations, including Casa Loma, Sneaky Dee's, the Toronto Reference Library, and Honest Ed's (RIP).This cast is stacked! In 2020, for the 10-year anniversary of the film, most of the cast reunited for a table read of the script. You can watch it on YouTubeShout out to Canadian bands Broken Social Scene and Metric for writing songs for the fictional bands in the film (Crash and the Boys and The Clash at Demonhead respectively), and to Chris Murphy of Sloan for being the musical performance supervisor on the film. Beck wrote the songs for Scott's band, Sex Bob-omb.We truly had a blast reading and watching this. It was just so much fun! We're definitely going to watch the anime series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. We're officially kicking off spooky season with our next episode on October 1. We'll be talking about Auralee Wallace's recent relsease, The Late-Night Witches. Apparently, we're also keeping the CanCon going because it takes place in PEI!There's going to be three episodes in October, so stick around for our 7th anniversary episode in the middle of the month on the 15th, and then we're wrapping up Halloween season with Mariana Enriquez's new release, Somebody is Walking on Your Grave.Other Books and Media MentionedBy Bryan Lee O'Malley: Lost at Sea, Seconds, SnotgirlDirected by Edgar Wright: Hot Fuzz, Last Night in Soho, Baby Driver
The Shameless Plug — the show in which Chris Hewitt sits down with Empire editor, Nick de Semlyen, to shamelessly plug the new issue of Empire magazine — is back back back, folks, and comes with a lovely slice of Brisket. Not the meat, mind you, but Glen Powell's dog, who somehow wound up on Chris' lap during one of his forays to the set of Edgar Wright's The Running Man, in which Powell stars, and which is this month's cover feature. To hear more about that canine encounter, and Chris (and Nick's) observations of the film's sets, and our madcap The Running Mag idea, listen on. But there's plenty more here, as Chris and Nick do a deep dive into the issue, get bogged down in bad maths, and take some advice from Mick Scoresby. If you can't get out of it, get into it! Enjoy.
Wir holen auf: Heute geht's nicht nur um CONJURING 4: DAS LETZTE KAPITEL oder 22 BAHNEN, ergänzt durch die stabile Metal-Doku KREATOR - HATE & HOPE, die indische Schlachtplatte BAAGHI 4 oder die kleine, aber feine Sci-Fi-Romanze U ARE THE UNIVERSE. Nein, wir blicken auch noch mal auf die letzte Woche zurück, in der wir uns noch ein wenig von der Gamescom erholt haben. Demnach reden Antje, Matze, Fynn und Schröck auch noch über unseren neuen Oscar-Beitrag IN DIE SONNE SCHAUEN, über Darren Aronofskys CAUGHT STEALING, über BRIDE HARD, die animierte Fortsetzung DIE GANGSTER GANG 2 und das britisch gefärbte Remake namens DIE ROSENSCHLACHT. Und falls das noch nicht ausreichen sollte, haben die Vier wie immer auch noch ein paar Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps für Euch im Angebot. Zum Beispiel die doch eher freie Stephen King-Adaption RUNNING MAN als Vorbereitung auf die neue Umsetzung von Edgar Wright. Oder zwei weitere Remakes in Form von LILO & STITCH und Spike Lees HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, gefolgt von Nora Fingscheidts THE OUTRUN und einem kleinen, wilden Blu Ray-Tipp mit dem Titel ESCAPE FROM THE 21ST CENTURY. Abgerundet durch ROTER HIMMEL, die Zusammenfassung BÖSE SPIELE - RIMINI SPARTA, die zweitbeste Thomas Harris Verfilmung MANHUNTER - ROTER DRACHE oder die beiden Rachefeldzüge FARANG und MANDY. Das sollte hoffentlich erstmal bis zur nächsten Woche reichen, in der wir uns wie gewohnt am Donnerstag mit den Neustarts zurückmelden. Bis dahin wünschen wir Euch viel Spaß im Kino, auf der Couch oder mit dieser Folge, ein schönes Wochenende und so viel Entspannung wie Gesundheit. Bis bald.

Joshua Hull is from a small town in Indiana, in which his home address was 8114. He has written a book where the protagonist is from a small town in Indiana, in which his home address is 8114. That's where the similarities begin, but it's far from where they end. Inspired by a horrible and terrifying nightmare, Hull has written a homecoming story chocked full of nostalgia, old trauma, witches, high school buddies, spoiled earth, small town cops, movie references, and quite possibly a real demon. The protagonist is a podcaster who hopped on the true crime bandwagon with stars in his eyes, hoping to garner some fame while doing justice to a former classmate who went missing long ago. But when those hopes and dreams are crushed, Paul is summoned home only to discover another schoolmate has ended his life in Paul's childhood home. What can Paul do? Podcast about it, that's what.Hell bent on redemption and getting to the bottom of this awful situation, Paul picks up the mic and dives into lore and personal memories he has spent a decade sprinting away from. Punctuated with levity, it's a frightening story of revisiting old ghosts - in this case literal ones - and coming to terms with the horrors of the past. And if that doesn't sell it for you, we also spend a good chunk of time talking about Edgar Wright movies, Walton Goggins, The Nice Guys, and the Predator.

Send us a textThe theatrical landscape of 2025 tells a fascinating story through its box office patterns and creative trends. Animation continues its unstoppable theatrical dominance across multiple studios, while long-running franchises like Mission Impossible and Jurassic World show unmistakable signs of fatigue. Has the time come to put these decades-old properties to rest?Our midyear film roundup reveals a striking preference for original storytelling over franchise continuation. From the breathtaking coastal beauty of Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope to the inventive shark thrills of Dangerous Animals, our top picks demonstrate cinema's continued ability to surprise and captivate. Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller Black Bag showcases masterful craftsmanship, while Tim Robinson's Friendship brings his distinctive comedic sensibilities to feature length with remarkable success.The conversation turns passionate when discussing Ryan Coogler's Sinners and Ari Aster's Eddington – films that blend genres with extraordinary confidence while delivering profound thematic depth. Both represent bold, auteur-driven visions that resonated deeply with audiences seeking thoughtful, challenging cinema.Looking ahead, the remainder of 2025 promises an embarrassment of riches from acclaimed filmmakers including Park Chan-wook, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Jim Jarmusch. Their upcoming works, alongside anticipated releases like Edgar Wright's The Running Man and Blumhouse's Weapons, suggest our year-end lists may undergo significant transformation.What films have captured your imagination in 2025? Join our conversation about this remarkable year in cinema and share your own discoveries and disappointments.

Apparently, you can't keep a good grifter down, as Billy McFarland's seven-figure Fyre Fest deal collapsed, so he's hawking the brand on eBay like a box of junk. Meanwhile, Indeed and Glassdoor are laying off over 1,000 workers, probably to pay for the AI that's jacking up our electric bills. Speaking of AI, a Tesla robotaxi crashed itself while Elon Musk's Grok chatbot went full Nazi, which is of course being installed in Teslas "next week." Fittingly, X CEO Linda Yaccarino stepped down and promptly lost her blue check. To cap off the dystopian news, the DOJ is targeting an anti-ICE app developer, the 'click-to-cancel' rule is dead, and you can hack McDonald's with the password ‘123456'. The future is now, and it's dumber than we ever imagined.On the media front, Murderbot gets a second season, and the Jim Henson and The Beach Boys documentaries are must-sees. Sadly, Netflix canceled The Residence. We also got trailers for Neuromancer, Project Hail Mary, and Edgar Wright's The Running Man. Speaking of building the future, we took a deep dive into AI-assisted coding using tools like Cursor, building a functional app in hours with zero original code. It's a stark reminder that while the "free lunch" of AI development is ending, the future for junior coders is already cooked. This glorious new world also includes playing every retro game ever on your phone, thanks to emulators like Delta and PPSSPP and the Backbone controller, which led to a nostalgic dive into the classic soundtracks of Mega Man 2 and Wipeout XL. This all culminated in a personal victory: conquering all 4,678 boards in Mahjong Titan+, freeing us from our porcelain thrones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

00:00:00 – Solo Show & Velvet Sundown Hoax Host flies solo post–4th of July, opens phone lines, and revisits the bizarre story of the AI-generated fake band "Velvet Sundown" that duped listeners and even tricked Rolling Stone. Discussion includes streaming payouts and legal implications of AI-generated music. 00:10:00 – Naked Gun & Running Man Reboots Reviews and commentary on reboots of classic films including "The Naked Gun" starring Liam Neeson and "The Running Man" directed by Edgar Wright.

Meanwhile, South Park creators criticize the Paramount-Skydance merger as a "shit show" affecting episode releases. 00:50:00 – Paranormal Calls & UFO Tech Evolution Listener calls in to discuss UFO sightings, the evolution of craft designs over the decades, and whether these are military, extraterrestrial, or competing black budget programs. Host proposes theories about tech secrecy and development timelines. 01:00:00 – Cat-Man in England & Cleveland Black Goo Reports surface of a man in a cat suit terrifying UK locals.
