The Running Man Review, Nouvelle Vague

Director Edgar Wright’s latest, THE RUNNING MAN, is an update of the Schwarzenegger-starring ‘87 sci-fi action film (and the ‘82 Stephen King novella). Josh finds just enough to recommend it, but Adam has a hard time finding the Wright in it all. And Michael Phillips joins Adam for a review of Richard Linklater’s Paris ‘59-set NOUVELLE VAGUE, with both agreeing that the director’s making-of-”Breathless” is “charming as hell.” Plus Massacre Theatre and more.

This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited⁠⁠, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
