Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay trade cheesy one liners as they talk about a quintessential '80s film, 'The Running Man.' Bombay starts off the show by telling a story about a friend who brought a surprise contestant to a drunken cinema screening of this movie. Then the fellas discuss a flick which may be lesser Arnie, but is an incredibly fuck viewing. They start by debating who was a bigger p-hound in their heyday: Arnold Schwarzenegger or Richard Dawson. That's followed by free-flowing conversation covering the flick which is brimming with both corny juiced up villains who neglected to hit the gym such as Buzzsaw, and a past his prime Jim Brown. Eventually the movie kicks it into overdrive and the plethora of one-liners overpowers the audience like a chokehold from Captain Freedom.
