It’s hard to believe, but this is actually our first time covering an Edgar Wright film on the podcast, and what a way to start with his new 2025 take on The Running Man. Starring Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, and many others, this Stephen King adaptation follows Ben Richards as he fights to survive a deadly televised game while navigating the constant manipulation of a corrupt media network. The movie delivers quick pacing and strong action in a fully realised cyberpunk world, making it a very entertaining action blockbuster to experience at the cinema. But did the humour always work? And can you still feel Wright's signature style on screen? Of course, we will also dive into the big question of whether the film contains truly GREAT scenes and characters that we genuinely LOVE as much as our pets. Then after the review, we have Zelda movie images to discuss, plus the new trailer for Project Hail Mary.

Join a crew of wannabe film critics review a different movie every week, and discuss other nonsense. Listen to new episodes every Monday.
