Based upon the 1982 Stephen King sci-fi novel of the same name, this dystopian action thriller takes place in a not-too-distant-future where just a few select corporations run everything and one of them controls most of the entertainment, including THE most popular show on TV, "The Running Man." Our beleaguered hero Ben Richards (Glenn Powell) enlists for this high-stakes reality show which involves him...you guessed it....on the run from various "hunters" who are seeking out him with plans to kill him, anywhere in the country. Directed by acclaimed genre filmmaker Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World), this is NOT a remake of the 1987 cult classic of the same name starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. (Though that film was a loose adaptation of the same novel) And it features LOTS and LOTS of running, go figure! :) Also among the stacked cast are Josh Brolin, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, Michael Cera, and Lee Pace.

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]This film is one that has always stuck with me. From the first time I saw it in the cinema, to the many years I owned it on DVD when I lived on the West Coast. It has been about 10 years since I've seen it and Mikey wanted to talk about it on the pod for June.Both of us were a crying mess for many reasons but this tragic and emotional story is history and everyone should watch it. While the story ends in a brutal assassination, there is much to be learned here about community and the importance of unity despite differences.Harvey Milk was an incredible leader and helped so many people and still does by having his mark on society. Being the first openly gay person to be elected to an official office and inspiration to many helped lay the groundwork in politics and the diversity we have today.Directed by Gus Van Sant, and incredibly acted by Sean Penn (who won an Oscar for his role) this whole community was brought to life on film and even endorsed and collaborated with Harvey's own friends and colleagues.We get into the history of getting this film made, how Sean Penn got into character, the personal connection of the wardrobe, and other facts from how the story played out in 1978.Off-topic rants: We are Here tv series, The Boys, and (again) why we need a 'Hottie' President--- GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE to the main Fashion Grunge Podcast feed on (mostly) 90s films!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack: The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

On this episode Barry and Mike chat about Zach Cregger's fantastic horror mystery movie Weapons, now streaming on HBO Max. Topics discussed include how this is one of the best films of the year, Cregger as an elevated horror master - and the tricky next step in his career, as well as Oscar hopes for Amy Madigan, and respect for Josh Brolin and Julia Garner.

A classroom empties at 2:17 a.m., a town wakes into panic, and a smiling aunt named Gladys quietly takes control. We unpack Weapons with a focus on what makes its daylight horror so unnerving: ordinary streets, ring camera footage, and fights that look messy because real people don't brawl like stunt teams. From the opening sequence to the last chase, the film swaps cheap jolts for sustained dread and pays it off with performances that leave bruises.We dive into the layered structure—how replayed scenes shift with each perspective, how a longer hug or a shakier line reading builds character without exposition dumps. Josh Brolin's grief anchors the story in routine and denial, Benedict Wong's possession turns purpose into a weapon, and Amy Madigan's Gladys steals every frame with a grin that curdles. The set pieces hit hard: the infamous headbutt, the hair snip at the car door, the basement turn when every child looks up at once. We connect those moments to the film's larger ideas about control, momentum, and the horror of bodies moving with borrowed will.Craft lovers will appreciate the sound design and score—heartbeat rhythms that surface only when needed, glass and bone that sound uncomfortably real, and a mix that breathes like a theater even on living room speakers. We also talk tropes worth retiring, details hiding in plain sight, and why the humor via James the junkie keeps the tension elastic without breaking tone. By the end, we land on strong watchability scores and a case for Weapons as a modern horror standout that earns its hype.If you enjoy deep dives into story craft, performances, and the nuts-and-bolts of scares, hit follow, share with a horror-loving friend, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Združene države Amerike so v bližnji prihodnosti totalitarna država, ki jo vodi sprega korporacij, medijev in vlade. Družba nadzora je ločena na večinoma obubožano prebivalstvo, ki se zabava ob nasilnih resničnostnih oddajah, in v idili živeč višji sloj. Ben Richards, ki zaradi uporniškega obnašanja ne dobi službe in se poskuša z ženo in hčerko izvleči iz revščine, privoli v nastop v resničnostni oddaji Tekač, ki ponuja visoke nagrade, če tekmovalec v igri lovcev in plena preživi mesec dni. Znanstvenofantastična akcijska srhljivka Tekač je posneta po distopičnem romanu Stephena Kinga, ki je bil dogajalno postavljen prav v leto 2025. Seveda film kar kliče po iskanju podobnosti z današnjim časom, še posebno s stališča družbe nadzora, razredne delitve, socialnih krivic in obsedenosti z medijskim oblikovanjem resničnosti oziroma z resničnostnimi šovi samimi. Kolikor je dandanes – v aktualnem in umišljenem letu 2025 – sploh še mogoče ločevati med analognim življenjem in njegovim digitalnim odsevom. Samoumevna je tudi primerjava s celovečerno priredbo iz leta 1987, v kateri je kot glavni lik nastopal Arnold Schwarzenegger. Film Beg je bil precej bolj televizijski v smislu enodimenzionalne satire – dejansko je že takrat napovedal avdiovizualno potvarjanje oziroma tehnologijo deepfake in obsedenost z resničnostnimi oddajami, ki je dobila zagon šele kakšno desetletje po premieri; aktualni Tekač upošteva tehnološki napredek in se dobro odziva na interaktivnost, ki jo pravzaprav vsi živimo. Film je vešče režiral britanski avtor Edgar Wright, ki ga poznamo po domiselno in dinamično preoblikovanih žanrskih mešanicah, in tudi Tekaču ne primanjkuje sape. Glavno vlogo ima Glen Powell, ki se zna bolj približati jezi ponižanih in razžaljenih kot Arnold Schwarzenegger, ki je pač superjunak ne glede na zgodbo. V tem smislu je tudi aktualna priredba bolj zemeljska in dobro izrazi preganjavico današnjosti – Tekač je tako med dvema filmoma s Harrisonom Fordom, Iztrebljevalcem (Blade Runner, 1982) in Beguncem (The Fugitive iz l. 1993). Zagata z avtorstvom Celovečerec Beg (1987) je bil posnet po romanu Stephena Kinga, ki ga je leta 1982, tako kot še štiri druge, s psevdonimom izdal Richard Bachman. Toda filmska različica, ki je bila v marsičem prilagojena podobi in statusu Arnolda Schwarzeneggerja v osemdesetih letih, ima več skupnega kot z romaneskno predlogo pravzaprav s francosko-jugoslovansko koprodukcijo z naslovom Nagrada za tveganje (Le prix du danger, 1983), ki jo je režiral Yves Boisset. Francozi so zaradi očitnega kopiranja tudi uspešno tožili ameriške producente. Ampak zapletov tu še ni konec – francoski film je temeljil na kratki zgodbi Roberta Sheckleyja iz leta 1958, ki je verjetno prva napovedala vzpon in vpliv resničnostnih oddaj. Njegova kratka zgodba The Prize of Peril je doživela prvo priredbo že leta 1970 v zahodnonemškem televizijskem filmu Igra za milijon (Das Millionenspiel), ki je bil tako prepričljiv, da so ga jezni gledalci ob prvem predvajanju dojeli kot resnično sodobno gladiatorsko igro. A ker so nemški producenti odkupili avtorske pravice le za zgodbo, ne pa tudi za njeno filmsko priredbo, je moral film skoraj za tri desetletja v »bunker« in je bil znova prikazan šele leta 2002. Ker je bil Stephen King še pred plodovitim pisanjem tudi obseden bralec in je spremljal popularno kulturo, se lahko vprašamo o resničnem avtorstvu … Zagata z rasno politiko V romanu Stephena Kinga je Dan Kilian, producent razvpitega televizijskega programa, skratka, glavni negativec, temnopolt, etnični izvor Richardsove žene pa ni opredeljen. Filmska partnerica Arnolda Schwarzeneggerja je bila Maria Conchita Alonso, ki je po izvoru sicer Kubanka, vendar to ni imelo pomembne vloge. V najnovejši priredbi igra zlobnega televizijskega producenta še kako beli Josh Brolin, Richardsova žena in njegova glavna motivacija za preživetje pa je temnopolta Jayme Lawson. Prvemu Predatorju, ki je, tako kot Beg, doživel premiero leta 1987, so očitali rasistične podtone zaradi nekaterih telesnih posebnosti pošasti in snemalne lokacije. Letošnja enačica je že obrnila to perspektivo in podobno »prebujenske« podtone politične korektnosti lahko opazimo tudi pri Tekaču s spremembo rasnih vlog oziroma kar s popolnim preobratom v primerjavi z literarno predlogo – čisto v skladu z groteskno usmeritvijo Netflixovih adaptacij ... Zagata s sporočilom Film Tekač poskuša biti s svojo satirično jezo in srcem na strani gverilskega odpora ter razkrinkavanja zarot in središč moči nekakšen novi Klub golih pesti (Fight Club, 1999). Toda zanimivo je, kako poskuša film o razkrinkavanju vpliva televizijskih šovov na množice sam, pač z jezikom in dosego industrije zabave, prav tako vplivati na množice. Tu se celovečerni film ujame v podoben paradoks, kot ga je že davno definiral François Truffaut: da namreč ne more biti protivojnega filma, saj sama narava filmskega ustvarjanja s svojo vizualno-pripovedno uporabo konfliktov, napetosti, spektakla in vznemirjenja neizbežno povzdiguje samo vojno. Enako naivno je pričakovanje, da bi lahko imel znanstvenofantastični spektakel tipa Tekač v sebi kaj zares prevratnega – morda bi lahko šli še korak dlje in zapisali, da je po obdobju postmoderizma postalo morda najbolj uspavalno prav samo razkrinkavanje uspavalnih mehanizmov …

I'm still here, ya sh*t-eaters! Edgar Wright's adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man runs into cinemas in a few days but I had the lucky opportunity to see it early at a mystery screening! I am a huge Edgar Wright fan; I love so many of his movies but I'll admit, I was maybe a little down on him after the very disappointing Last Night in Soho. That was a film I was highly anticipating but was pretty let down by the diretion the narrative took in the backhalf, even if I loved the cast and a lot of aesthetics of the film. The Running Man, though, looked like a return to the fun I love in most of my favorite Edgar Wright movies - and the early reviews definitely indicated that I was correct about that gut reaction. Were they right?

As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.

The Running Man | Läuft 1987 kam mit „Running Man“ eine Stephen-King-Verfilmung in die Kinos, die zwar Arnold Schwarzenegger in der Hauptrolle bot, inhaltlich jedoch nur lose auf dem Roman basierte. Ob die neue Version unter der Regie von „Baby Driver“-Schöpfer Edgar Wright, die am 13. November startet, eine werkgetreuere Adaption darstellt, wollen wir an dieser Stelle nicht verraten. Das liegt weniger daran, dass wir euch unbedingt dazu bewegen möchten, auf Play zu drücken (auch wenn wir uns sehr darüber freuen würden), sondern vielmehr daran, dass weder Schlogger noch Stu die literarische Vorlage kennen. Dafür kennen sie Edgar Wright – und viele der Darsteller des Remakes, darunter Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Coleman Domingo und Katy O'Brian. Erwartet von der Besprechung also keine akademische Analyse darüber, wie eng Wright sich an das Buch hält, sondern vielmehr ein lebhaftes Gespräch darüber, ob der neue „The Running Man“ den Kinobesuch wert ist – oder ob ihr euch stattdessen vielleicht doch lieber selbst die Laufschuhe schnüren solltet. Kleiner Tipp: Ihr könnt den Podcast übrigens wunderbar beim Joggen hören – das ist gut für eure Gesundheit und ebenso für unsere Abrufzahlen. Win-win.

Welcome back to The Lobby Bar! This week, we're flipping the script on two iconic action franchises and our featured cocktail!First, we talk about the sci-fi behemoth that just hit theaters, Predator: Badlands! Director Dan Trachtenberg once again reinvents the franchise, this time by making a young Predator outcast named Dek the hero. We discuss the epic, bloody hunt on a hostile alien world, his unexpected alliance with a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, and whether this Badlands story is a fresh direction for the Yautja mythology.Then, the running starts! We gear up for the highly anticipated Edgar Wright-directed remake of Stephen King's dystopian thriller, The Running Man (2025), starring Glen Powell as Ben Richards. With its release just days away, we look at the hype, the star-studded cast (Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, Colman Domingo), and how this new version is a more faithful adaptation of the dark, savage novel.Of course, no show is complete without a drink! We're mixing up a Reverse Martini (sometimes called an Upside-Down Martini). This sophisticated, lower-proof cocktail flips the classic ratio, making Dry Vermouth the star and the Gin the modifier. It's the perfect, contemplative sipper for a week of cinematic chaos!All that, plus a look at the latest Box Office News!Merch ShopPatreonInstagramBlueskyFacebookhttps://www.drinkthemovies.comYouTubeDiscord*Please Drink Responsibly*
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.

This week, we review Weapons (2025), a mystery‑horror film written and directed by Zach Cregger. Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Amy Madigan, Benedict Wong and others lead an ensemble cast in a story that explores loss, supernatural terror, community paranoia, and the boundaries between grief and horror. With most of a third‑grade class vanishing under inexplicable circumstances at exactly 2:17 a.m., the film follows multiple characters—teachers, parents, police—as they grapple with what could have caused it. It raises haunting questions about collective responsibility, guilt, and the unseen forces that haunt our lives.Is this nightmare more than just missing children, or is this horror one we've invited in ourselves?

Ryan, Todd, and Maddy reconvene to discuss the second half of Deadpool 2 (2018), in which Deadpool and Cable do not kiss, to the chagrin of 2018-era Maddy. In 2025, though, we can all recognize what little gayness this movie could manage, which is Cable using his last bit of time travel juice to save Deadpool's life. Of course, after that, Cable would have to fight Colossus for Deadpool's affections, right? Except he's not going to have to, because there were no subsequent movies with Cable in them, even though the character says he's going to "stick around" after this. What happened? Disney bought Fox, that's what happened. We sure wouldn't be mad to see Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz returning as Cable and Domino in the MCU, though...
