The Running Man (2025) – Full Review & Spoilers
Episode 31
Friday, 21 November, 2025

Glen Powell is running — literally — and he might just be giving Tom Cruise a little competition. This week, William and Amy break down The Running Man (2025), the latest Stephen King adaptation that blends action, satire, and a cautionary tale about AI, deepfakes, and media manipulation. We start spoiler-free with pacing, performances, humor, and how this version compares to the 1987 Schwarzenegger original. Then we head into spoilers to talk about “The Network,” class commentary, Americanos, futuristic towels, Arnold cameos, Josh Brolin chewing the scenery, and why this movie feels far more current than a 1970s novel should. Segments: • Quick Synopsis • Spoiler-Free Review • Final Rating (Full Price) • Spoilers & Book Comparisons • Next Week’s Episode (Thanksgiving!)
