Offscript

Welcome to Offscript, the podcast where literature meets cinema. Each week, hosts Bri & Alli compare books to their movie adaptations — exploring what worked, what didn’t, and whether the book really was better than the movie. From timeless classics to today’s bestsellers, we break down characters, themes, and the creative choices that shape stories on page and screen. 

🎬 This Week on Offscript: The Running Man 

This week, Bri & Alli dive into the high-octane, dystopian adaptation of The Running Man — originally published under Stephen King’s pseudonym Richard Bachman and now reimagined on screen by director Edgar Wright. 

Story Summary: 

It’s 2025, and reality TV has escalated into deadly spectacle. Desperate for cash to treat his young daughter’s illness, Ben Richards volunteers for The Running Man, the most dangerous game show on the planet. His mission: stay alive and evade a team of elite Hunters for thirty days. The prize: a staggering one billion dollars. 

The twist? The entire world is watching — and every viewer is a potential informant eager to turn Richards in for a payout. 

Author: Stephen King  

Director:  Edgar Wright

🎬 This Week’s Episode: It vs It — Movie vs Movie (90's vs 2017/19) 

Seven young outcasts in Derry, Maine, are about to face their worst nightmare -- an ancient, shape-shifting evil that emerges from the sewer every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Banding together over the course of one horrifying summer, the friends must overcome their own personal fears to battle the murderous, bloodthirsty clown known as Pennywise. 

• Book Author: Stephen King 

We dive into the differences between Stephen King’s original remake and the 2017/2019 horror film remake, asking: Did the remake capture the same fear as the original? Or did it take too many liberties?
