Ep. 87

The 2019-set movies keep coming with the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle The Running Man (1987). Joel Taras is here to talk about it!

We discuss how close we are to having a national deathmatch gameshow in our own timeline, because we're really not that far off. Also lots of sweet Arnie-isms, quaint 80's technology, and how - once again - scifi from the late 80's really hit the nail on the head when it comes to assuming we'd be in a dystopia by now.

CW: sexual violence - Because it's an 80's action movie, there's 2 scenes in particular that revolve around (the threat of) assault that we discuss.
