Ep.17 - The Running Man by Edgar Wright


Listen Later


🎙️ Over the holidays, Angel and Roman finally caught up with The Running Man - and took a long stroll down Edgar Wright lane. What did he nail? Where did things wobble? And how does a filmmaker known for control, rhythm, and precision navigate a project like this?

This one gets personal. Partly shot in Bulgaria, the film pulls Roman in for a fly-on-the-wall moment from the set - including stories from around his birthday - offering a rare Eastern European perspective on a very Anglo-American production.

They start out fully hating the film and somewhere along the walk slow down, zoom out, and realize there might be more going on beneath the surface. Not excuses - context. And maybe a bit of empathy for Edgar along the way.

Just an honest conversation about filmmaking, compromise, and expectations.
