Episode Number 39: RUNAWAY (1984)

We're back to our bread and butter with '80s science fiction this week as we cover RUNAWAY (1984). Written and directed by Michael Chrichton (JURASSIC PARK, WESTWORLD) and starring Tom Selleck (MAGNUM PI, THREE MEN AND A BABY), Cynthia Rhodes (DIRTY DANCING, FLASHDANCE, and Gene Simmons (TRICK OR TREAT, EXTRACT). RUNAWAY paints a picture of a near future in which robots are a major part of everyday life but sometimes go haywire (or deadly), requiring Tom Selleck's special police team to right some wrongs.

Here's the tagline:

IT IS THE FUTURE. Machines are being programmed to turn against us. Someone must stop the madman who started it all.

Welcome to Chris & Chris Talk Movies. In this podcast, life-long friends Chris Ferry and Chris Huddleston discuss Sci Fi movies (sometimes the best Sci Fi movies, sometimes not), horror movies (occasionally some of the all time best horror movies…often…not), a few of the very best action movies (I think you see where we’re going with this), and genre films from their childhood and beyond in this laid-back, rambling, but inviting series!

Rated PG for occasional mature language and alcohol consumption.
