The Running Man (1987)


Listen Later

It is time to sign your contracts and perform your pre-cardio stretches, for this week, we are sending Paul Michael Glaser's 1987 dystopian Arnie romp, The Running Man, straight into the game zone!

Join the trio as they battle for the highest of ratings, talking all things production facts, analysis, and hypotheticals. Ad shares his fool proof plan for fleeing the law, counting on the growth of some hefty facial  hair and conspiracy theorist  method acting to ensure he evades capture.

Bailey, meanwhile, is ready for prime time , sharing his daydreams of becoming a Thor-like gladiator; swinging an oversized hammer that would give even Captain Freedom a run for his money.

Amber is up to her usual disgusting nonsense, channelling her inner Killian to brainstorm a game show involving traumatic dating experiences and unsavoury bodily functions. Would somebody get in touch with her therapist already!

Desperate to indulge in more satire-laden madness? Then memorise your access codes and send an uplink signal to our Instagram Network, Discord Underground and TikTok Games Arena, where the broadcasting never ends!
