This week we review and discuss The Running Man, a science fiction action movie directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell, William H. Macy and Emilia Jones, about a man who joins a deadly game show as the only way he can earn the money to afford life saving medicine for his child.
We talk about the movie's handling of topics such as inequality, poverty and class warfare and why we were pleasantly surprised by that, in what ways the dystopia the movie predicts came true 20 years ago but isn't all that relevant anymore today, how the movie's world in which people volunteer to be oppressed by the media they consume relates to the realities of social media and AI that we live in today, why the ending felt underwhelming and what we thought it should have been, and much more.
