It was Independence Day this week, but ironically this episode keeps reverting back to kings. Amazon looks for a director and an actor for His Majesty's secret service in the Bond franchise, Stephen King's The Stand gets a new adaptation and Richard Bachman (re: Stephen King, again) gets a trailer for Edgar Wright's new version of The Running Man. Meanwhile, Paramount guarantees their huge merger with Skydance by bending the knee to a man who thinks himself king. Steam and Nintendo offer feasts (of deals) fit for a king, including discounts on many Mushroom Kingdom related titles. It's a real game of thrones around here, I tell you hwhat. That's a little King of the Hill reference. Thought you might enjoy that.Music: "Sweeter Vermouth" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Nuevo sonido, añadimos las pistas de audio de la película para una mayor inmersión, y una sorpresa para aquellos que esperen hasta el final del audio... Un repaso en toda regla a la adaptación muy libre que se hizo en 1987 de The Running Man, la novela de una distopía futurista a cargo de Richard Bachman, o mejor dicho, Stephen King.

G and John take a big 'ol bite out of Thinner, written under King's pseudonym Richard Bachman. What happens when you have an egotistical lawyer, an old man with a grudge, and a cartoony gangster? Well perhaps King's best book written under the Bachman pen name. Throw in some disturbing curses, a slingshot wielding girl, and a cursed pie... yep that's right, a cursed pie, then you some schlock that would make the Crypt Keeper giggle with glee. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

In 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger was well on his way to becoming the biggest action star in the world. Later on in the year, he would be in Predator. But first, he'd star in the Stephen King adaptation The Running Man. Or is it a Richard Bachman adaptation? What's the difference, and why would the rights to this book be $100,000, surprising the hell out of producer George Linder? We get into all of this, as well as a full review of the Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky?) directed film, in the podcast below. Also, find out what franchise we'll be attacking next. That is, should we choose to accept it. All this, as well as many puns, when you listen to this week's Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast!

As we already established on our The Dead Zone podcast, 1983 was the Year of the King. That year, Stephen King fans were treated to not one, not two, but THREE adaptations of the author's work. The Dead Zone, Christine, and Cujo. Now common usage to explain a mean dog, Cujo had next to zero meaning to people who picked the book up ready to read King's first all out horror novel in years. Like Drew Barrymore in Firestarter, producers once again used ET as a stepping point, and plucked everyone's favorite mom Dee Wallace to star in a film about her and her son (Who's The Boss's Danny Pintauro) being terrorized by the film's title character. Listen in as Garrett, Matt, and Adam talk about the film many (King included) count as among their favorite adaptations of King's work. Will Adam think the same as, unsurprisingly, this is yet another first time viewing for him? And how did Garrett stumble upon the book, making it the first King novel he ever read? Find out by clicking below! And be sure to come back next week, as Matt finally gets to talk about Ah-nold Schwarzenegger when the co-hosts review the first Richard Bachman adaptation, The Running Man!

Stephen King est sans conteste l'un des écrivains les plus prolifiques et influents de notre époque. Avec plus de 350 millions d'exemplaires vendus et une imagination débordante, il a su marquer la littérature contemporaine. Pourtant, il y a un roman dont il ne garde pratiquement aucun souvenir : Cujo.Publié en 1981, Cujo raconte l'histoire terrifiante d'un saint-bernard infecté par la rage qui sème la terreur. Un roman intense et angoissant, dont King lui-même admet ne pas se souvenir de l'écriture. La raison ? À cette époque, l'auteur était profondément dépendant à l'alcool et à la cocaïne. Dans son autobiographie Écriture : Mémoires d'un métier, il confesse que son addiction était si sévère qu'il retrouvait souvent son bureau jonché de canettes de bière vides et de mouchoirs tachés de sang, conséquence de son usage intensif de cocaïne. Ce mode de vie frénétique lui a permis d'écrire à un rythme effréné, mais au prix de souvenirs brumeux, voire inexistants, de certaines de ses œuvres.Mais ce n'est pas la seule anecdote surprenante concernant Stephen King. Parmi les faits les plus étonnants, on peut citer son refus initial de publier Carrie (1974), son tout premier roman. Frustré par le début de l'histoire, il jeta les premières pages à la poubelle. C'est sa femme, Tabitha King, qui les récupéra, le convainquant de poursuivre. Une décision qui changea sa vie : Carrie fut un succès retentissant, lançant définitivement sa carrière.Autre fait marquant : en 1999, King fut victime d'un grave accident. Alors qu'il marchait au bord d'une route dans le Maine, il fut percuté par un van conduit par un chauffard distrait. Grièvement blessé, il subit plusieurs opérations et faillit perdre l'usage d'une jambe. L'ironie du sort ? King racheta plus tard le véhicule qui l'avait percuté… pour le détruire.Enfin, si King est connu pour ses romans d'horreur, il a également écrit sous le pseudonyme de Richard Bachman. Pourquoi ? Il voulait savoir si son succès était dû à son talent ou simplement à son nom. Résultat ? Même sous un autre pseudonyme, ses livres se vendaient.Ainsi, malgré ses excès et ses démons, Stephen King demeure un maître du suspense et de l'horreur, capable de transformer ses épreuves en récits captivants.

Welcome to The Nerdy Podcast ran by Northern Nerds!! In this gripping episode of Nerdy Up North Podcast, we dive deep into the world of "The Running Man," the iconic 1982 novel by Stephen King (under the pseudonym Richard Bachman) and its subsequent film adaptation starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Join us as we explore the chilling themes of survival, government control, and the dark side of entertainment in a dystopian society. We'll discuss the story's premise, where contestants must navigate a deadly game show that pits them against ruthless hunters, all while the world watches for entertainment. What does this narrative reveal about our own society's obsession with reality TV and the lengths people will go for fame and fortune? Our special guests include a film critic who will share insights on the adaptation process and a cultural historian who will connect the dots between the story's themes and contemporary issues like media manipulation and social inequality. Whether you're a longtime fan of the book and film or new to the story, this episode promises to provoke thought and spark conversation about the nature of freedom, the human spirit, and the consequences of a society obsessed with spectacle. Tune in for an engaging discussion that will leave you questioning the boundaries of entertainment and morality! Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review!

The Year? 2025. Which is when Stephen King's novel The Running Man (published as written by Richard Bachman.) is set. People aren't currently being hunted for television, but we're only three days into this crapfest, so “there's still time”? This time out, Dave Sim and A Moment of Cerebus's Manly Matt Dow discuss: Dave remembers Cerebus fan Jeff Seiler which leads to Dave announcing Aardvark-Vanaheim's plans for 2025, first up (if Donald Trump doesn't crap all over Canada,) CAN11 and Narutobus on the Kickstarter! Did You Know?: Dave was in discussions to license/sell Cerebus to DC Comics in 1985. Dave reads the thirty-nine year old proposal (spoilers: he turned down $100,000. Then he self-distributed the collected High Society and made $150,000 a year later.) Now it CAN be told! DAVE screwed up your bookshelf... Cerebus continuity Matt's Steamboat Willie/Blade Runner mash-up (prints are coming soon?) Neal Adams and Creator's Rights 2025 Dave's thoughts on Deni Loubert and Cerebus in 1977 What does a normal day look like for Dave Sim? Why an Aardvark? Does Dave celebrate New Year's? Anniversary tours? A Cerebus bi-monthly spin-off book by other creators? Dave's thoughts on modern day Canadian life. The location and condition of Dave's Albatross notebooks (used in the creation of Cerebus from issues 20 through 300) (Trigger Warning for Margaret: it...it's not good...not good...) Who was Dave's model for F. Stop Kennedy in Going Home? (spoilers: it was F. Scott Fitzgerald.) Hoo-boy it's two hours fifty-six minutes of distraction from the fact that their gonna hunt you down for May sweeps!

This week we continue our Season King with one of Spike's favorite movies, "Misery." We discuss the book, originally planned to be a Richard Bachman written story. We then discuss Rob Reiner's direction and his respect for the genre film language. Finally, we discuss everything we love about this film, which is a lot! Lastly, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills. Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44

This week marks our first foray into Stephen King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman, with "The Running Man." We begin the episode discussing Richard Bachman and why King felt it necessary to write under a different name. Then, we get into the history of the screen adaptation by covering the various directors who tried to make this work, and how Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) saved the day. This is hardly a passion project, bu this movie is FUN! After we discuss the development of the film, we discuss the film itself including all of the over-the-top stalkers and of course Mick Fleetwood. We finish the episode by each pairing the film with another for a pair of solid double bills!Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44

Acomi and Turk182 guzzle some Cadre Cola and send in their audition tapes for Climbing For Dollars just in time to catch the next episode of The Running Man (1987). A classic late 80s sci-fi movie, loosely based on Stephen King's (under the pseudonym Richard Bachman) short story. Having been framed for a massacre he didn't commit, former corporate police soldier Ben Richards breaks out of prison, and is on the run. He's soon captured and coerced into starring on the violent, and mostly unwinnable, TV show The Running Man. If he survives, he'll be a free man. But, TV ratings aren't earned by people surviving, the corporation will do everything to make sure he dies with the highest ratings. Join Acomi and Turk while they marvel and the 80s ladies and the over the top death sport villainy of "heroes". Not to mention, enough one-liners to make a whole other movie. Come on! Acomi and Turk don't want to be the only a-holes watching this movie. Acomi and Turk182, along the occasional special guest, provide running commentary of awfulsome movie and TV shows. The hosts select movies that either one, or both, have never seen. All jokes and comments are improvised. NO PREPARED JOKES OR COMMENTS! During recording, the movies are watched at a low volume and with the subtitles on. Viewers may want to turn subtitles on as well to enhance the viewing experience. So, cue up the audio, ready the movie, and hit play when we say so. Note: This is commentary recorded by Acomi and Turk182. The commentary can be enjoyed on its own, but if you want to experience the Let's Watch! in all its glory, you'll need your own copy of the movie.

Based on the Richard Bachman book of the same name, 1987's The Running Man is a cheesy action spectacular with some of the all-timer Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liners. The movie bears very little resemblance to the book, however it remains one of the more prescient movies of the '80s.

Welcome to my home for another book discussion for Wednesday Night Book Club!

The Running Man is one of the darker stories to escape the mind of Stephen King. Originally published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, the story follows Ben Richards as he attempts to evade deadly stalkers in order to win a boatload of cash in order to save his sick family. The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie adaptation is pretty different, but both interpretations of the material ended up being strangely prescient.

Stephen Edwin King, más conocido como Stephen King y ocasionalmente por su pseudónimo Richard Bachman, es un escritor estadounidense de novelas de terror, ficción sobrenatural, misterio, ciencia ficción y literatura fantástica.

As a follow up to our Christmas Crossover with our Kurt Army Cousins, The Not For Everyone Podcast, we decided to take a look at two of the Stephen King adaptations that were mentioned, but unseen by us. First up is George A Romero's “The Dark Half”; a film in which we learn that pure, undiluted evil must be dressed like Tom Waits; that Henry (Portrait of a Serial Killer) has even less idea of the law when on the other side of a police badge; and that Eleanor Lance escaped from Hill House to become pipe smoker of the year (1993). A faithful adaptation of King's take on his own outing as the author Richard Bachman, this is a superior slice of 90s horror, reuniting King with Romero, with a superb cast backed up by incredible practical and visual effects that still hold up today. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us

Stephen King's alter ego, Richard Bachman, wrote a bunch of dark, cynical, and strangely prescient short novels before it was revealed that King was behind the pen name. At that point, King released them all in a collection called The Bachman Books, which featured the stories Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork, and The Running Man. They're all fascinating looks into the darker corners of King's psyche and one of them was even allowed to fall out of circulation.

G and John take a deep dive into Richard Bachman's (cough cough, Stephen King's) dystopian novel. The two agree that King accurately predicted the rise of reality t.v, but also acknowledge that the writer falls short on executing his vision; a brilliant premise does not automatically equal a brilliant book. While this book fell short of expectations, the two look upon King's '80's bibliography with much anticipation, and the next stop is The Gunslinger. We are now are officially on the path of the beam. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

This week, we wrap up our coverage of Desperation and King's 1990s by taking a look at Richard Bachman's The Regulators, a weird little book that becomes fascinating when compared to it's sister novel.  Next week: We begin Stephen King's Duma Key!

Richard Bachman is Stephen King, the author of this book! He brings us into a dystopian future (seems like all the futures are going this way) where corporations rule and freedoms are restricted. Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a soldier, somehow just learned of the future and how the future operates, so he's not in for randomly killing innocent people when ordered to do so. Future baddies don't like this, so they arrest him, manipulate the media with public lies and they eventually put him on a game show. Within the game, hosted by Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), Richards learns a lot about friendship, love and the power of people – just like a trip to summer camp. Amber (Maria Conchita Alonso) finds out the truth of it all, and there are tons of fun cameos – including Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown and Jesse Ventura. RTS will be getting an autograph from Professor Subzero (Professor Toru Tanaka – you are missed). Chris joins us to chainsaw where chainsaws don't belong.

For the fourth week of our horror film series, we're looking at another collaboration between masters of horror George A. Romero and Stephen King, The Dark Half. This film explores the Jekyll and Hyde story through a seemingly mild-mannered writer and his dark side (Timothy Hutton in a dual role), an unborn twin who takes form to wreak vengeance on those who have tried to silence him. We discuss the excellent screenplay, faithfully adapted by George Romero from Stephen King's novel; Hutton's nuanced portrayal of both Thad and George; Michael Rooker's definitive performance as Sheriff Alan Pangborn; the sparrow swarm special effects; connections to Hitchcock's The Birds; whether Amy Madigan could have single-handedly taken out George Stark; and Stephen King's own alter ego Richard Bachman. Bring your evil twin to our Halloween party and give us a listen!

Of all the advice Stephen King offers in his memoir On Writing, “write what you know” may be the best. It's certainly advice he follows as his vast catalog is nearly bursting with writer protagonists and the occasional villainous scribe. With King's last literary outing with his own protagonist, Richard Bachman, behind us, we're rounding up all of King's fictional writers to duke it out in a March Madness style tournament until only one remains. Join Jenn Adams as she cues up the arena rock and tips off a series of head-to-head battles in which an expert panel including Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Julia Marchese slowly narrow down the field to an epic final showdown. Nail-biters and buzzer-beaters abound in our quest to identify King's ultimate writer.Note: This was recorded last month and is being unlocked in lieu of scheduling issues.

Forgive the creaking hinges and fluttering moths, Constant Listeners. The Losers just cracked open Stephen King's fabled TRUNK, the one where he keeps all the inked-up pages he's not yet ready to unleash upon the world. It's here where the final (?) Richard Bachman's Blaze moldered for decades. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, Dan Caffrey, and Dan Pfleegor as they chat about this curio in the King oeuvre. Together, they debate the peculiarities of its history, its place in the King crime canon, and what it tells us about King as a young, struggling artist. Fear not, there are several references to season 2 of Burning Love.Want to know more about Bachman?
