This week Evan and Bill are joined by the folks from the Worker's Lit podcast to talk about the 2025 film "The Running Man," directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Emilia Jones, William H. Macy, Josh Brolin, and Michael Cera. With a special appearance by Lee Pace. This episode is part two of our collaboration with Worker's Lit covering a book and the movie based on it, in this case the Stephen King novel by the same name. During the episode we discuss how much more capably Wright and Powell portray class consciousness than King, note how the movie improved on the book, and remained loyal to it by having a less than satisfying ending.Check out the episode we did with Worker's Lit here!Guest LinksOfficial WebsiteWorker's Lit on InstagramWorker's Lit on YouTubeLeft of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's InstagramWard's Letterboxd

Join host Neal Lynch for a giant breakdown of Edgar Wright's The Running Man (2025), starring Glen Powell. In this deep dive, we compare this gritty, satirical adaptation to Stephen King's (Richard Bachman) original 1982 novel and the campy 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic.Topics covered in this episode:The Adaptation: How Wright pivots from 80s action cheese to systemic horror and the "banality of evil".Glen Powell as Ben Richards: Analyzing the shift from Arnie's muscle to a "pre-tubercular" (but surprisingly shredded) desperate father.The Satire: A look at the "Americanos" Kardashian parody, the "Speed the Wheel" game show with Sean Hayes, and the controversial Liquid Death product placement.The Ending Explained: Why the film changed the novel's "unfilmable" kamikaze climax to a story of survival and revolution.Box Office vs. Streaming: Why the film bombed in theaters with a $110M budget but found redemption as a streaming hit on Apple TV and ParamountTimestamps:00:00:00 - Intro00:00:15 - Brief Overview00:04:27 - Stephen King's The Running Man Novel (1982)00:23:24 - Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Running Man (1987)00:37:31 - Edgar Wright's development of The Running Man (2025), casting Glen Powell00:47:18 - Character analysis (Ben Richards, Dan Killian, Evan McCone, The Apostle)01:20:39 - The Americanos, Speed The Wheel, Liquid Death, FreeVee01:36:09 - The ending ("Richards Lives" vs. Obliteration)01:39:37 - Box Office and Critical Reception01:47:27 - Biggest Box Office Bombs of 202501:49:34 - One Final Note on a Missed OpportunityABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Neal Lynch is the creator and host of Giant Mess, a podcast blending sports commentary, pop culture analysis, and storytelling.

This week Corporal, Sarcastro, Fatty and Banky get together to talk about options for the service staff for the POoRCHoices compound including a pitch for trained chimps and emperor penguins which get scrapped in favor of Fatty's dream of having a three-quarters scale Johnny Five from Short Circuit and a full size Jinx from Sapce Camp as part of the service crew.   They also discuss movies and shows they've been watching including the 2025 released The Toxic Avenger; One Battle After Another; The Life of Chuck; The Last Frontier; Fallout; and The Running Man (2025).  This also leads into a quick conversation of trying to watch a show with others in your household and how they tend to "cheat" on the other viewers by watching ahead. Guys weekend is starting to look promising for having running water at the cabin and plenty of cleared out snow to be able to park and do things outside.   Fatty confirms he has the karaoke set up ready to go and Corporal gets probation on sharing a room with Sarcastro provided he gets a CPAP.  Rounding it out they come up with an idea for their new John Wick style movie or show using the mascots from the fast food chains throughout the Untited States.   Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar) 

Nooo, we didn't forget. around this time last year, we reviewed 1987's Arnold Schwarzenegger starring film The Running Man. We knew there was a remake coming down the block, but we put it off for reasons we get into on the podcast. When director Edgar Wright was asked a question on Twitter about what movie he wanted to remake, he did not hesitate in answering The Running Man. Producer Simon Kinberg (the X-Men franchise) saw the tweet and got this production going. Wright, with original author Stephen King's approval, wrote up a script with his longtime collaborator Michael Bacall, and cast actor of the moment Glen Powell (Top Gun Maverick) in the Ah-nold role. Was the wait worth it? Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review their very first Edgar Wright film. Did he do the book justice? Is this up to Edgar Wright's standards? Is King's presence felt? They answer all these, and so much more, in this special release! Come back next week when the boys start up their look at the Scream franchise.

A movie can always be improved by Glen Powell appearing nude, but can it be saved? This is the hypothetical that Edgar Wright's remake of The Running Man attempts to answer.This movie has Arnoldbucks, futurist telenovelas, a podcast that might save the world (if not America), a delusional ending (or is it?), hot dogs (not Glen Powell's!) and, yes, some IR.

Welcome back to Is It Worth It?, the show where we break down the newest movies, shows, and reimaginings to help you decide what's worth your time and money. Today, J. Logan Austin dives into one of 2025's most talked-about releases: The Running Man (2025), the bold new adaptation of Stephen King's dystopian action adventure.In this review, we cover:

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob kick off season 9 (yes, 9!) of the show with a thrilling comparison of two dystopian action films, with the original transporting us to the far off year of 2017. The duo dives into the absurd creativity of the original, and put it up against a much more realistic (at least by today's standards) take on what our modern day looks like. I mean hey, ultimately both of these are reflections of their times in certain ways, that's what makes a compelling dystopian story! But the more the entertainment landscape changes, the more it stays the same...Also featured in this episode are bits and bobs about Fallout's season 2, the effectiveness of Arnold's image, game shows vs reality shows, and the monster that is Dynamo.

Send us a textTwo of us walk out emotionally numb from The Running Man remake after a marathon of twists, a muddled motive, and a game with broken rules. We compare it to the 1987 original to show how tone, stakes, and satire were stripped away while talent was wasted.• why changing Ben Richards' motive breaks the story• tone clash between campy 80s satire and modern grit• hunters with no identity versus iconic stalkers• villain split that dilutes menace and focus• worldbuilding that expands scope but kills logic• media manipulation then and now, without the sting• rule changes that patch holes instead of creating tension• wasted performances from a strong cast• why simple, bounded game design creates better stakes• final ratings and what remakes should keepPlease give us a like, share, and subscribe for more reviews like this Support the show

Send us a textThis week on Movies Worth Seeing, we crank the dial back to peak '80s insanity with The Running Man — and honestly, this movie rules.What looks like a dumb, muscle-bound action flick is actually a viciously funny, cynical satire wrapped in neon spandex and one-liners. Game shows, fake news, manufactured villains, and entertainment built on public humiliation — somehow this film feels more relevant now than it did in 1987.We break down:Why this is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's most underrated rolesHow the movie balances brutal action with sharp social commentaryThe outrageous villains, practical effects, and iconic killsJesse Ventura, Richard Dawson, and a supporting cast having an absolute blastAnd why The Running Man is pure rewatchable fun that still hits todayIt's loud, ridiculous, politically incorrect, and unapologetically entertaining — exactly what great '80s cinema should be.

The Running Man (1987) - Can't be beat

Is The Running Man (2025) the rare remake that's actually better than the original?I went into this one as a fan of the 1987 Schwarzenegger classic—campy, quotable, and unmistakably of its era. But this new adaptation takes a very different approach: darker, smarter, more faithful to Stephen King's novel, and far more interested in making a point than cracking jokes.In this spoiler-lite review, I break down why The Running Man (2025) is a far more serious, fully realized dystopian sci-fi film than its predecessor—one with top-notch production value, a strong central performance from Glen Powell, and themes that feel uncomfortably relevant in today's media-obsessed world.That said… this movie is not for everyone.If you're looking for pure escapist fun, over-the-top villains, and one-liners you can quote for decades, this might not be your jam. But if you want sci-fi that actually makes you think—and maybe squirm a little—this one deserves your attention.In this episode, I cover:• How the 2025 film differs from the 1987 original• Why this version feels truer to Stephen King's intent• Glen Powell's performance and rise as a leading man• Who will love this movie, and who absolutely won't• Whether we should finally stop comparing everything to Arnie (sorry, Arnie)Now it's your turn:

Running Man (2025) The Film Buff Review

Our guests and I were at the podcasting recording console and decided to sum up two cyberpunk Arnie adventures: THE RUNNING MAN and THE 6TH DAY.   We talk about the apocalyptic landscapes in these cult film as well as the unusal B-movie casst & explosive collar concept.   How did Stephen King start the MultiVerse madness prior to Marvel & DC Comics adaptations?   What would a Running Man sequel with Arnie, Bruce Campbell & Jamie Lee Curtis look like??   And what famous sporting event did The 6th Day actually accurately predict???     OUR PODCAST GUESTS: Caomh McGillion Oreo Brewer Jim Evans (Film Rage) Corey Stevenson (Podcasting After Dark)     SONGS USED:   Paula's Theme (ORIGINAL FULL STUDIO VERSION)" by Jackie Jackson and Glen Barbee (Running Man OST)   "Restlest Heart" by John Parr (Running Man OST)

Nathan and Ollie could not resist a great discussion of the latest version of The Running Man story. They talk about how this movie absolutely crushed. The discussion evolves to how much they enjoyed that the plot that was MUCH more in alignment with the classic Stephen King Book.

Scootergate rumbles on into the bonus as much like said scooter, Joe cannot park this outrageous injustice.

The biblical quote “running to and fro” contextually has two meanings. The first meaning is literal: in the last days, people will be trying to escape indignation. Destruction, famine, and horror will be endless upon the earth. The second meaning is figurative: people will be seeking and searching for The Most High and His wisdom, but shall not find it. The 2015 movie The Running Man perfectly depicts both meanings.
