Did Edgar Wright's The Running Man deliver on the hype? 🔥 Glen Powell takes on a deadly game show in this Stephen King adaptation, but does it beat the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic? The Dana Buckler Show has the answer!  In this brand-new episode of The Dana Buckler Show, we dive deep into the highly-anticipated 2025 film, The Running Man. Director Edgar Wright (known for Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver) brings a new, faithful vision of the classic Stephen King (written as Richard Bachman) dystopian novel to the screen, starring Glen Powell as the desperate Ben Richards. Does Powell's performance as the Runner stack up against the 1987 cult classic? Does the film's social commentary hit harder in the real-life 2025? We break down the thrilling action, the spectacular set-pieces, the performances from Josh Brolin and Colman Domingo, and give you our honest, spoiler-free thoughts and final score!
