Better Than the Movie 28: THE RUNNING MAN

Dec 11, 2025
1h 44m

Episode Description

The BTTM guys are running their mouths about THE RUNNING MAN. Allan, Tyler, and Justin dig into the recent Edgar Wright-directed film and the same-named 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger star vehicle, which are both adapted -- to different degrees -- from the novel by Stephen King (under his Richard Bachman alias). It's a boisterous discussion among three guys whose reactions range from ambivalent to underwhelmed to disgusted. Maybe the trickiest adaptation to rate for the Better Than the Movie fellas since the HALLOWE'EN PARTY / A HAUNTING IN VENICE debacle of BTTM episode 7.  Enjoy!  

Hosted by Tyler Austin, Justin Remer, and Allan Traylor.
Produced by Justin Remer. 
Recorded at the LAPL Octavia Lab.
