This week marks our first foray into Stephen King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman, with "The Running Man." We begin the episode discussing Richard Bachman and why King felt it necessary to write under a different name. Then, we get into the history of the screen adaptation by covering the various directors who tried to make this work, and how Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) saved the day. This is hardly a passion project, bu this movie is FUN! After we discuss the development of the film, we discuss the film itself including all of the over-the-top stalkers and of course Mick Fleetwood. We finish the episode by each pairing the film with another for a pair of solid double bills!
