Episode 103: The Running Man

We're gunning for the big cash and prizes as we try to keep pace with Arnold Schwarzenegger by watching another of his 1980s sci-fi flicks, The Running Man. Listen as we examine how the film was transformed from Stephen King's grim novella into a Schwarzenegger action vehicle, uncover the stinging satire hidden beneath the movie's colorful blockbuster surface, and contemplate how the film makes its viewers complicit in the dystopian system it depicts. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and a chance to win the home version of America's favorite game show.

Fantasy Casting: The Fantastic Four

 

Introducing Fantasy Casting, a new feature in which we suggest our preferred actors for films, including adaptations and remakes, that have not yet reached a theater near you.

So it's clobberin' time as we propose the best cast to bring this iconic superhero property to life. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and fighting words.
