That One Looks Good: 'The Running Man' (1982, 1987, 2025)

Ali looks forward to the upcoming release of Edgar Wright's adaptation of Stephen King's 1982 novel, 'The Running Man'. How will this film compare to its Schwarzenegger-starring, very 80s counterpart? What might Wright's movie have to say about Jeremy Kyle and Jerry Springer? And, will Wright say faithful to King's brilliant (very intestine-y!) ending? Tune in to hear Ali's thoughts.
