Junkfood Cinema: The Running Man

Are you ready for pain? Are you ready for suffering? Are you ready for PUNishment?

Then you're ready for the new episode of Junkfood Cinema! This week, Brian and Cargill are joined by Night Attack's Justin Robert Young as they blaze through one of the most unexpectedly prophetic movies of all time! The Running Man takes place in a dystopian 2017. A time in which you can't trust what you see on the news, popular television is all about reveling in the suffering of others, and the most powerful man in the world is a...game show host. Hard to imagine, right?!

The guys discuss the astounding cast, unbridled silliness, and relentless pun work of The Running Man. Oh, and who delivers the best preformance in this movie and in fact one of the best villain performances of the 1980s? Our survey says...Richard Dawson!
