Podcasts about Richard Bachman

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.  Check out the "Better Than the Movie" audiobook playlist on Libro.fm - https://libro.fm/playlists/skylight-better-than-the-movie Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire   Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band

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.

The Stephen King adaptations continue to roll in, the latest being this adaptation of his cheery 1979 Richard Bachman novel The Long Walk. Did we go along for the stroll though, or would we grind to a halt? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 1, 2025 is: pseudonym • SOO-duh-nim • noun A pseudonym is a name that someone (such as a writer) uses instead of their real name. // bell hooks is the pseudonym of the American writer Gloria Jean Watkins. See the entry > Examples: “Edgar Wright, the filmmaker and genre specialist who has given the world modern gems like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Baby Driver, estimates he was around 13 years old when he read ‘the Bachman Books,' a collection of four novels that Stephen King published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman during the early years of his career.” — Don Kaye, Den of Geek, 9 Oct. 2025 Did you know? Pseudonym has its origins in the Greek adjective pseudōnymos, which means “bearing a false name.” French speakers adopted the Greek word as the noun pseudonyme, and English speakers later modified the French word into pseudonym. Many celebrated authors have used pseudonyms. Samuel Clemens wrote under the pseudonym “Mark Twain,” Charles Lutwidge Dodgson assumed the pseudonym “Lewis Carroll,” and Mary Ann Evans used “George Eliot” as her pseudonym.

Conversamos sobre Perseguido, una de las de Schwarzenegger favoritas de la infancia de muchos. Nuevo episodio de Par-Impar dedicado, esta vez, a la película Perseguido, estrenada en la época en la que bastaba el nombre de Schwarzenegger para tener éxito de taquilla. La película está basada en una novela de Richard Bachman, pseudónimo de quien más tarde se descubriría Stephen King, que ha tenido una nueva versión estrenada este mismo año, The Running Man con Glen Powell. En lo relativo a Perseguido de Schwarzenegger, éste es suficiente para llevar a cabo todo un golpe de estado en una película que parodia la televisión sensacionalista que ya asomaba la patita en aquella época y que prevalecería en décadas siguientes. De modo que aunque no se meta en camisas de once varas, la película tiene su punto crítico. Pero lo que cuenta aquí son las frases sardónicas de Schwarzenegger, antes, durante o después de acabar con sus enemigos. Una colección de "one-liners" memorable que encantó a los críos de los ochenta. Dani Palacios y Juanma González están entre ellos, y así te lo cuentan en este podcast de esRadio dedicado a la película.

In der heutigen Folge sprechen wir über eines der spannendsten Filmprojekte der nächsten Jahre: „The Running Man“, die moderne Neuinterpretation des kultigen Actionthrillers nach Stephen King (alias Richard Bachman).Der Originalfilm aus den 80ern hat längst Kultstatus – aber wie schafft es die neue Version, die damalige Gesellschaftskritik in die heutige Medienwelt zu übertragen? Und welche kreativen Entscheidungen treffen Regisseur und Cast, um die Geschichte aktueller, düsterer und intensiver wirken zu lassen?Der Podcast ist selbstverständlich Spoilerfrei!Wir freuen uns über Feedback hier bei Spotify, bei unserem Instagram Kanal und per Email unter Filmgedanken@mail.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unser Youtube Kanal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ko-Fi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hier könnt ihr uns eine Kleinigkeit spenden und uns unterstützen.Unsere Email: filmgedanken@mail.de

From his doublewide trailer in the 1970s, Stephen King was able to authentically tackle class struggle in this early novel originally published under the pen name "Richard Bachman."  In episode 363, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they try to understand Ben Richards, get dystopian and borderline cyberpunk in this flashy vision of the future, react to some uncomfortable hallmarks of the Master of Horror's writing early in his career, and wonder about what changes await in the modern adaptation. Join them next week as they analyze Edgar Wright's version starring Glenn Powell!

1987 and 2025 versions of The Runninng Man. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss The Running Man (2025) and The Running Man (1987), adaptations of the Richard Bachman aka Stephen King novel of the same name. We begin with our initial reactions to the new film, recorded immediately after watching the preview screening together. The conversation moves to the original adaptation from 1987 - we generally praise the fun-factor in the film. We move between the two films and consider the strengths and weaknesses, linking back to the Stephen King novel throughout.

Second verse….just like the first! BAM! … Another Double Movie Review! The Boyz loved the last double feature movie review so they decided to do it ALL OVER AGAIN! First up, kinetic visualist @edgarwright brings us the second adaption of “The Running Man”. Written by Stephen King (under a pseudonym of Richard Bachman) and famously adapted in 1987 to the screen starring one Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cupcake and WillDaBeast answer the question on everyone's mind: Not “Is Glen Powell STILL a thing?” but “Is this true-to-story adaptation better than AH'nuld's”? Next: The director of the smashing successful Neon releases “LongLegs” and “The Monkey” returns with the folk horror chamberpiece (Editor's note: Can we ban this term from the show? Dislike!). Standout actors Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland act in a slow-burn horror Grimm Fairy Tale-esque thriller. But are all the “WTF”s and mystery imagery shenanigans worth the punchline? Maaayyyybe….Oz and Neon need a time out. WS+....It's us with a double feature.

We kick this episode off by celebrating the second most important birthday of the week, which belongs to the Xbox 360, a canon event for most of us. We also make time to chat about whether or not Dispatch is a video game and whether that matters, the new Frankenstein movie, how hard it is to adapt Richard Bachman stories into movies, how the AI industry is screwing us this week, and more.

Min 4: WICKED 2: FOR GOOD (3 estrellas) Wicked 2", dirigida por Jon M. Chu y protagonizada por Cynthia Erivo y Ariana Grande, retoma el viaje de Elphaba y Glinda justo donde lo dejó la primera parte, pero lo hace con un pulso más sombrío y un sentido de la épica que empuja el cuento hacia territorios de ruptura emocional. La película muestra cómo la amistad entre ambas se tensiona hasta el límite mientras Oz revela su cara más despiadada, con el Mago consolidando un régimen que convierte la diferencia en amenaza. Chu maneja el musical con una puesta en escena más ambiciosa, mezcla números íntimos con despliegues visuales de gran formato y da a Erivo un arco dramático que sostiene la película con una potencia que no siempre alcanza su compañera de reparto. Min 16: THE RUNNING MAN (3'5 estrellas) "The Running Man (2025)", dirigida por Edgar Wright y con Glen Powell en un papel que confirma su salto definitivo al estrellato, convierte la novela de Stephen King (publicada como Richard Bachman) en una distopía vibrante, estilizada y mucho más cercana al tono satírico del autor que la versión de los ochenta. Wright despliega su sello visual con un montaje eléctrico, humor negro dosificado y una lectura muy clara del poder de las plataformas y la viralidad como nueva forma de control social. Min 21: CIUDAD SIN SUEÑO (4 ESTRELLAS) "Ciudad sin sueño", ópera prima de ficción de Guillermo Galoe, sigue a Toni (Antonio Fernández Gabarre), un chico gitano de 15 años que vive con su familia en la Cañada Real, el asentamiento irregular más grande de Europa, mientras los derribos y los planes de realojo amenazan con borrar el único mundo que conoce. Galoe, que escribe el guion junto a Víctor Alonso-Berbel y trabaja con intérpretes no profesionales del propio barrio, construye un drama social de fuerte carga atmosférica en el que la precariedad eléctrica, las hogueras nocturnas y las leyendas infantiles se mezclan con la cámara en mano y las imágenes captadas con móviles para levantar un retrato entre poético y crudo de una comunidad al borde del desalojo. Min 25: DRÁCULA, DE LUC BESSON (2,5 ESTRELLAS) "Drácula", la relectura de Luc Besson sobre el mito, apuesta por un romanticismo oscuro que combina tragedia, exceso visual y una mirada obsesiva sobre la inmortalidad del deseo. Lejos de la estilización gótica clásica, Besson propone un vampiro más febril y vulnerable, interpretado por Caleb Landry Jones con una mezcla de fragilidad y violencia que sostiene la película incluso cuando el relato se escapa hacia lo operístico. El director francés construye un duelo emocional entre Drácula y la joven que encarna la reencarnación de su amada, y lo hace desde una puesta en escena de contrastes muy marcados Min 30: LA BALA (2 estrellas) "La bala", dirigida por Carlos Iglesias, es un drama de corte histórico y thriller moral que explora cómo el pasado late aún debajo de las promesas familiares y las atrocidades silenciadas. La película sigue a Julián, un sacerdote de clase acomodada que hace realidad la promesa hecha a su madre: recuperar los restos de su tía, enfermera de la División Azul muertos en la Unión Soviética durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. MIn 33: JAY KELLY (4 estrellas) "Jay Kelly", dirigida por Noah Baumbach y protagonizada por George Clooney como su alter-ego, explora la fisura entre el rostro público y el yo privado en un star system que devora identidad. Clooney encarna a Jay Kelly, una leyenda en pleno ocaso creativo que, tras la muerte de su mentor, se embarca en un tour europeo con su fiel manager (interpretado por Adam Sandler) para asistir a un festival, encontrarse con sus hijas y enfrentarse a la sombra alargada de sus éxitos y errores. Min35: OLIVIA Y EL TERREMOTO INVISIBLE (4 estrellas) "Olivia y el terremoto invisible", dirigida por Marina Llorente, es un drama emocional que aborda cómo un acontecimiento aparentemente imperceptible puede alterar para siempre la vida de una familia. La película sigue a Olivia, una adolescente que empieza a sufrir episodios de desconexión y lapsos de memoria coincidiendo con una serie de microseísmos que sacuden de forma casi imperceptible su ciudad. Lo que al principio parece un síntoma aislado se convierte en un viaje interior donde la protagonista intenta descifrar si lo que quiebra es el suelo bajo sus pies o el mundo emocional que ha construido alrededor de su madre, una mujer absorbida por su trabajo y por la presión de mantener a flote un hogar que se resquebraja sin hacer ruido. MIn 37: ALPHA (2 estrellas) "Alpha", dirigida por Julia Draconeau, es un drama inquieto y áspero que utiliza la desaparición de un adolescente en un barrio periférico de Marsella para diseccionar el modo en que una comunidad entera vive atrapada entre el miedo, la lealtad y un silencio heredado. La historia sigue a Lina, una trabajadora social que regresa al distrito donde creció para investigar el paradero del chico, y descubre que las mismas reglas no escritas que marcaban su juventud siguen gobernando cada esquina: Min 42: SUEÑOS EN OSLO (3,5 estrellas) “Drømmer†de Dag Johan Haugerud se adentra en la complejidad del deseo adolescente y la memoria intergeneracional con una elegancia poco habitual: la joven Johanne (Ella Øverbye) se enamora de su profesora de francés, Johanna (Selome Emnetu), y ese enamoramiento desencadena ondas que alcanzan a su madre y su abuela, ambas atrapadas en sus propios sueños y renuncias. Haugerud entrega una película que combina el coming-of-age con el retrato social y familiar, pero lo hace sin estridencias: la cámara se mantiene cercana, hay silencios que pesan y la escritura visual convierte los pasillos de un instituto, las bufandas de lana, los cuadernos con anotaciones íntimas, en metáforas de la tensión entre lo que uno quiere y lo que se espera. Min 44: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON ENRIQUE MUÑOZ El cineasta toledano Enrique Muñoz, autor del corto "Alicia" y del reciente documental "Viven", se ha consolidado como una de las voces más personales surgidas desde la escena independiente de Castilla-La Mancha, combinando una mirada muy íntima con un fuerte arraigo territorial. Formado en París y con una trayectoria marcada por proyectos levantados casi a pulmón, Muñoz ha construido un estilo que mezcla realismo emocional, riesgo formal y una sensibilidad especial para retratar a jóvenes creadores y comunidades locales, algo que alcanza plena expresión en Viven, su mosaico sobre el pulso musical de Toledo. Invitado a la sección "La película de tu vida" del programa Estamos de Cine, el director desveló que su título de referencia es "Hook", la fábula de Spielberg que marcó su infancia y que, como él mismo reconoce, sigue alimentando su imaginario y su manera de entender el relato cinematográfico. Min 48: BSO "HOOK" Con Ángel Luque rendimos tributo y ponemos la guinda musical a la elección de la semana con una banda sonora para el recuerdo. La banda sonora de "Hook" (1991) es uno de los trabajos más exuberantes y emotivos de John Williams, una partitura que mezcla aventura, nostalgia y un lirismo casi operístico para acompañar el viaje de Peter Banning hacia la recuperación de su identidad como Peter Pan.

The Running Man and The Long Walk In the late 70's Stephen King was still a ways away from being a household name; he had released Carrie, Salem's Lot and The Shining and his star was certainly on the rise... but he wanted more. That "more" came in the form of a pen-name that would allow him to try different ways of telling stories: Richard Bachman. Under this name he wrote 4 novels from 1977 to 1982 before his ruse was discovered. This podcast we are reviewing the adaptations of two of those books; The Long Walk from 1979 and The Running Man from 1982. This is the second attempt at an adaptation of The Running Man and this one contains almost 98% less Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Are they trudging to the finish line or do they barrel along at a breakneck pace? Join in with Dion, Jill and Quinny for their rambling and occasionally sprinting thoughts on these two thematically similar but structurally opposite films. Synopsis - The Running Man  In the near future, "The Running Man" is the top-rated show on television, a deadly competition where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Desperate for money to save his sick daughter, Ben Richards is convinced by the show's ruthless producer to enter the game as a last resort. Ratings soon skyrocket as Ben's defiance, instincts and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite, as well as a threat to the entire system. Synopsis - The Long Walk Teens participate in a gruelling high-stakes contest where they must continuously walk or be shot by a member of their military escort. https://youtu.be/ICkzbDZhr6c A huge thank you to all perambulating peeps who trudge through each episode of the show, especially those of you joggers, sprinters, or light shufflers who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Greg Alba, Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dig into the haunting adaptation of Stephen King's novel (written under Richard Bachman) directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, I Am Legend). Starring Cooper Hoffman (Ray Garraty), David Jonsson (Peter McVries), Mark Hamill (The Major), Judy Greer (Ginnie), and a cast that includes Garrett Wareing, Roman Griffin Davis, Charlie Plummer and Ben Wang. The plot: fifty teenage boys are forced into an annual televised walking contest — maintain three mph non-stop or you die. The winner gets a huge cash prize and one wish. We break down everything: the gruelling pacing, the power of camaraderie, Ray vs Peter dynamic, the Major's ruthless regime, moral collapse, hidden references to King's book, the commentary on surveillance, desperation, and how far one can walk when the stakes are life or death.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in a yellow jumpsuit, a murderous game show, and more terrible puns than should be legal – this week we're diving into The Running Man (1987).Set in the far-flung future of… 2017, the film drops Arnie into a fascist police state where the government keeps the masses quiet with a wildly popular TV bloodsport. Framed as the “Butcher of Bakersfield,” helicopter pilot Ben Richards is forced onto The Running Man, a gladiatorial game show hosted by the gloriously slimy Damon Killian. Contestants are hunted by cartoonishly lethal “Stalkers” – Subzero, Buzzsaw, Dynamo, Fireball and Captain Freedom – while the state-run network lies, edits, and fakes everything to keep the ratings high.We break down:The dystopia that arrived on time: State propaganda, rigged media, and how close this feels to modern reality TV and news spin.Arnie at full one-liner power: From exploding collars to chainsaw crotch kills, we go through the kills, the quips, and which puns are genuinely elite and which are plain zero.The Stalkers as 80s boss fights: Subzero's razor-wire demise, Buzzsaw's split decision, Dynamo's opera-singing sex pest energy, and Fireball's jet-pack nonsense.Killian and the cult of TV personalities: Why Richard Dawson nails the smarmy game-show host, and how the film weaponises studio audiences and phone-in contests.From Stephen King to Saturday-night carnage: How this loose adaptation trashes the bleak Richard Bachman novel, leans into gaudy satire, and still manages to feel weirdly ahead of its time with doctored footage and media manipulation.If you grew up on 80s action, misremember this as a Verhoeven movie, or just want to hear three dads argue over whether this is genius satire or glorious trash, this one's for you.Hit play to hear us revisit exploding neck collars, terrible future fashion, and why, for all its flaws, The Running Man is still an easy strong recommend.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Après une version avec Arnold Schwarzenegger sortie en 1987, le roman de Stephen King, écrit sous le pseudonyme de Richard Bachman et paru en 1982, est à nouveau porté à lʹécran. On retrouve Ben Richards, ouvrier au chômage qui accepte de participer au jeu télévisé le plus populaire, " Running Man ", dans lʹespoir de remporter un milliard de dollars et de pouvoir payer les soins médicaux pour sa fille malade. Dans une Amérique divisée entre les nantis et le prolétariat, il doit survivre 30 jours, traqué par des chasseurs professionnels tandis que la population est encouragée à dénoncer le fugitif en échange dʹune somme dʹargent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vF-5ID9JKk

“Stop filming me!”The Film Board Gathers! This time, they're racing through Edgar Wright's adaptation of The Running Man, a sharper, more faithful take on Richard Bachman's/Stephen King's dystopian manhunt. Glenn Powell stars as Ben Richards, sprinting for survival and truth in a world where entertainment is weaponized and every choice is content.Pete Wright leads Tommy Metz III, Steve Sarmento, Matthew Fox, and Mandy Kaplan through a deep dive into this reimagining. The panel tackles everything from Josh Brolin's corporate menace to Coleman Domingo's pitch-perfect propaganda host, debating how Wright balances King's nihilistic source material with Hollywood's need for hope. They explore the film's commentary on surveillance, media manipulation, and AI deep fakes, all while questioning whether Wright's signature style gets lost in the chase.While the group largely praises Powell's charismatic lead performance and the film's updated themes, they clash over the rushed ending and whether dystopian tales can (or should) offer uplift in 2025. The conversation ranges from adaptation choices and censorship quirks to Michael Cera's panic room and the eerie prescience of King's original vision.Is this a faithful sprint through broken society or just dystopia with a Disney sheen? Grab your tracking beacon, dodge the drones, and find out as the Film Board breaks down every checkpoint of The Running Man. (Just watch out for those AI face swaps.)

This week, we review The Running Man (1987), Paul Michael Glaser's dystopian action-thriller based on a story by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman). Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Ben Richards, a wrongly convicted man forced to compete in a brutal, televised death game in a future where media and government control blur disturbingly.With satirical jabs at reality TV, authoritarianism, and media manipulation, this cult classic dives headfirst into a neon-soaked nightmare of entertainment gone lethal.Is freedom just another broadcast, or is survival the ultimate ratings winner?

Min 5: AHORA ME VES 3 (3 estrellas) La saga de los ilusionistas vuelve con Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025), la tercera entrega de la franquicia que inauguró Now You See Me. Después de una década, los legendarios “Cuatro Jinetes†– Jesse Eisenberg (como J. Daniel Atlas), Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco e Isla Fisher – retoman la alfombra mágica, pero esta vez acompañados de una nueva generación de prestidigitadores: Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa y Ariana Greenblatt.La trama gira en torno a un peligroso objetivo: el diamante conocido como “The Heart†, perteneciente a la poderosa empresaria del sector diamantífero Rosamund Pike (Veronika Vanderberg) Min 11: TODOS LOS LADOS DE LA CAMA (1 estrella) Veintitrés años después del fenómeno que supuso "El otro lado de la cama" y dos décadas después de su secuela, llega Todos los lados de la cama, una continuación que recupera a sus míticos personajes para enfrentarlos al espejo del tiempo. Javier (Ernesto Alterio) y Carlota (Pilar Castro) reaparecen convertidos en padres de dos veinteañeros que, para su desconcierto, han decidido casarse por la vía más tradicional: compromiso firme, exclusividad y una boda clásica. Lo que en su generación era sinónimo de rebeldía —romper las normas— ahora se invierte, y los jóvenes adoptan los códigos que sus padres rechazaban mientras ellos intentan procesar que el mundo ya no se mueve a su ritmo. Min 19: DIE, MY LOVE (3 estrellas) La película arranca cuando Grace (Jennifer Lawrence), joven escritora, se traslada junto a su pareja Jackson (Robert Pattinson) desde Nueva York a una aislada casa heredada en Montana, con la esperanza de iniciar una vida tranquila lejos del bullicio urbano. Dirigida por Lynne Ramsay, Die My Love se sumerge desde el primer instante en la intimidad emocional de su protagonista, mostrando cómo, poco después del nacimiento de su hijo, la situación que parecía idílica comienza a resquebrajarse. Min 26: LA LARGA MARCHA (4,5 estrellas) La película arranca en un futuro distópico donde Estados Unidos vive bajo un régimen totalitario. Dirigida por Francis Lawrence y encabezada por Cooper Hoffman en el papel de Raymond “Ray†Garraty, La larga marcha adapta la emblemática novela The Long Walk de Stephen King (publicada originalmente bajo el seudónimo Richard Bachman). La historia plantea una competición anual tan cruel como televisada: cien adolescentes son obligados a caminar sin detenerse jamás, bajo la amenaza de recibir advertencias letales si disminuyen el ritmo. A la tercera, la ejecución es inmediata. Solo uno puede sobrevivir y reclamar el premio que promete cambiarlo todo. Min 30: LOS COLORES DEL TIEMPO (4 estrellas) La película arranca cuando un grupo de primos se reúne en 2025 en París tras recibir la noticia de que han heredado una casa abandonada en Normandía. Dirigida por Cédric Klapisch, la historia arranca con el descubrimiento de secretos familiares y raíces profundas que se remontan al siglo XIX, cuando una de las protagonistas dejó Normandía para instalarse en un París en plena revolución industrial y cultural. Min 33: GAUA (3 estrellas) La película arranca en las montañas del País Vasco en el siglo XVII, cuando una mujer llamada Kattalin huye de su marido y abandona el caserío en plena noche. Dirigida por Paul Urkijo Alijo y protagonizada por Yune Nogueiras, Gaua (que significa “La noche†en euskera) se sumerge en el terreno de la mitología vasca, la persecución de brujas y la superstición rural. Al adentrarse en el bosque bajo la oscuridad, Kattalin se topa con tres mujeres que lavan la ropa junto al río, comparten historias ancestrales y acaban arrastrándola a formar parte de esas leyendas en las que hasta entonces sólo había sido espectadora. Min 36: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: FERNANDO ARAMBURU Aunque el aclamado literato que escribió "Patria" nos reconoció no ser un gran consumidor de cine y de series ¿te imaginas que una de las película de Felllini que vio con placer consciente en su casa de Alemania le ha servido a Fernando Aramburu de base e inspiración para la novela que tiene previsto publicar en 2026? El autor de "Años lentos" o "Vetas profundas" nos vuelve a sorprender, esta vez, desvelándonos qué gran película del cineasta italiano es la que considera la película de su vida. Min 42: EL CINE QUE NOS VIENE Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández nos avanzan algunos de los títulos destacados que más les motivan de cara a la próxima semana: desde la española" Ciudad sin sueño" a dos títulos que prometen sensaciones fuertes: Running Man o la segunda parte del musical Wicked. Min 44: BSO FRANKENSTEIN 2025: EL MEJOR DESPLAT (4,5 estrellas) La banda sonora de Alexandre Desplat para el Frankenstein de Guillermo del Toro nace ya con vocación de clásico: es el encuentro entre un director que ha convertido el monstruo en poesía y un compositor que hace de la melancolía un lenguaje propio. Desde el tema principal, Desplat traza una identidad musical que no se limita al terror gótico, sino que se adentra en la tragedia íntima de la criatura. Cuerdas dolientes, vientos susurrados y un piano que aparece como una voz que duda construyen un motivo central que parece oscilar entre dos pulsos: el del monstruo que busca pertenencia y el del padre que juega a ser Dios.

We're still here! And we're ready to review the new film adaptation of The Running Man. Richard Bachman's/Stephen King's dystopian thriller novel has been adapted before as a classic 80s action flick starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, but will it be even cooler with Edgar Wright directing and Glen Powell starring in it? That's what Kent and Zack are ready to let you know. Joel hasn't seen the movie yet, so he'll be leaving before the spoilers begin, but we invite you to join us as we hunt him down!   Stop filming me and press play.

The Running Man is a 1987 American dystopian action film directed by Paul Michael Glaser and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, María Conchita Alonso, Richard Dawson, Yaphet Kotto, and Jesse Ventura. The film is set in a dystopian United States between 2017 and 2019, featuring a television show where convicted criminal "runners" must escape death at the hands of professional killers. It is based on the 1982 novel written by Stephen King and published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.The Running Man grossed $38 million on its $27 million budget in the United States, and opened to mixed reviews from critics. Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

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.

Whitey and Dan are back in the saddle for another dive into Arnold Schwarzenegger's golden era with their The Running Man (1987) Review, a dystopian action flick that predicted the rise of reality TV and the cult of celebrity with eerie accuracy. It's big, it's loud, it's absurdly 80s, and the boys are here for every neon-lit minute of it.Released in the same year as Predator, The Running Man often sits in Arnie's shadow catalogue, but this week Whitey and Dan make the case that it deserves far more love. The film, adapted from a Stephen King novel (written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman), throws viewers into a violent future where convicted criminals fight for survival on a televised game show, because nothing says prime-time entertainment like watching people get chainsawed on live TV.From the opening massacre in Bakersfield to Ben Richards' first "I'll be back" moment, Whitey and Dan take listeners on a nostalgia-soaked journey through the blood, the banter, and the bad outfits. They break down the stalkers, Buzzsaw, Sub-Zero, Fireball, Dynamo, and Captain Freedom and debate which death scene gets the best (and most ridiculous) send-off. Spoiler: chainsaws and balls don't mix.Along the way, the boys give Richard Dawson his due credit as Damon Killian, the sleaziest game show host since, well, himself. As Whitey points out, Dawson essentially plays an exaggerated version of his Family Feud persona, a charismatic creep who can charm the crowd while stabbing them in the back. Dan draws parallels between modern-day media culture and the movie's grim predictions of audience addiction, fake news, and manufactured heroes, which feel alarmingly close to home.There's plenty of banter too: stories about watching the film with their kids, reminiscing about the VHS days, and of course, a classic tangent on Australian childhoods versus American movie myths. Whitey marvels at Arnie's physical prime, the perfect blend of muscle and movie-star charm, while Dan compares the Austrian Oak's 1987 aesthetic to "a bag of walnuts, Arnie" in Predator. They even give props to the underrated soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer and the bold (if slightly confusing) set design that feels part Blade Runner, part Rollerball fever dream.The Film School for F-Wits segment delves into dystopian cinema, with Dan running through ten classics that share DNA with The Running Man, including Demolition Man, Gattaca, Children of Men, and 1984. Expect tangents, trivia, and typical Morgs-level shade directed at absent co-hosts.As always, the boys bring the laughs with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. The good? Arnie's comedic timing and Richard Dawson's deliciously slimy performance. The bad? The script's dodgy one-liners, including the immortal “Subzero… now plain zero." The ugly? The shiny Lycra jumpsuits that make everyone look like they've escaped from a Eurovision rehearsal.It's vintage Born to Watch: irreverent, nostalgic, and filled with 80s love. Whether you're an Arnie completist or just here for the banter, this episode proves that The Running Man still runs circles around most modern action flicks.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONShould The Running Man be ranked among Arnie's all-time classics? Did this 1987 gem actually predict the rise of reality TV?

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.

The first screen adaptation of The Running Man saw four different directors fired, the final director come in once filming had begun (while Arnold Schwarzenegger and his lycra were away from the set). Schwarzenegger would lament the final film, and Stephen King - who penned the original novel (as Richard Bachman) - wouldn't be hugely impressed either. But still: there's a reason it's still talked about today. In development for decades at Walt Disney Animation Studios, meanwhile, was an animated feature surrounding videogaming. Yet it took three attempts to get there, and some pretty complex negotiations too... Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
