On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are taking down the man, one tv show at a time. We watched the 1987 film from Paul Michael Glaser, The Running Man.

The year is 2017. Reality television has grown out of control. Sadistic game show hosts control the country. Real blood is spilled. Lives are lost. The crowd cheers on.

No, I’m not talking about what actually happened to the world in 2017. I’m talking about the Arnold Schwarzenegger film that feels a little too prescient. I know, the similarities are too uncomfortable to consider for any length of time.

But this episode shouldn’t give anybody the kind of chilling thoughts that the real world might. It’s a freaking Schwarzenegger film! That’s always a good time.
