Title: MAN ON FILM — The Running Man Review (2025)
Subtitle: Nostalgia vs. New Wave: Glenn Powell, Stephen King, and the chaos in between.
Description:
Welcome back to Man on Film, the only movie show that says what you’re actually thinking. In this episode, we break down the brand-new Running Man remake — the good, the bad, the bizarre morality, and the way Stephen King clearly grabbed the steering wheel back from the 80s.
From surprise cameos and Claire-Huxtable-energy strangers in the theater, to corporate dystopias, messy ethics, and Glenn Powell’s towel scene sending shockwaves through the audience, this episode delivers everything. We battle out the final score (3.5 out of 5 futuristic snaps), compare it to the original Schwarzenegger classic, and debate whether reinventing a cult favorite is genius… or grounds for cinematic jail time.
Featuring:
– Our 5-mic rating system
– A passionate debate about adaptation vs. nostalgia
– Why Lee Pace and Coleman Domingo stole the whole damn movie
– Thoughts on dystopian logic, moral compasses gone missing, and deepfake manipulation
– The moment that had the whole theater screaming “DEEPFAKE!”
– And yes… the Karen-in-the-car monologue
If you loved the original Running Man, if you’re curious about the remake, or if you just love unapologetically honest film talk — this is the episode you need.
