With writers on strike (SUPPORT THE WGA!), we look to what studios turned to during the last strike--REALITY SHOWS! We start with the STEPHEN KING adaptation and ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER vehicle THE RUNNING MAN (1987)! Featuring a metric ton of pro-wrestlers, sports stars, future governors, and MARIA CONCHITA ALONSO, this flick about gladiator matches for convicted felons has plenty of madness to behold! Did we mention it's a documentary of DONALD TRUMP's future America?
