PaulHOST

DesHOST
looking at me for? That's a game.
DesHOST
Two films that we've mentioned.
PaulHOST
That we have in the podcast.
DesHOST
Yes.
PaulHOST
Why are you fucking looking at me like Running Man was a wild choice? Running Man is a game that they need to play that has real life consequences.
PaulHOST
Yeah, it's just
ScottHOST
He did The Price is Right.
ScottHOST
And then was the game show host in The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
MarkPANELIST
Amazing.
MarkPANELIST
Geoffrey Bowden also turns up.
Mike MyersHOST
This one reminded me of like a manga...
Mike MyersHOST
in terms of what it was in an American-style version of it, well, I would say in a Keith Giffen-looking style artwork, but it is like The Running Man, except it's in a building.
Mike MyersHOST
It's like a prison where you start off on floor one, and there's just a bunch of prisoners in there, and they're all trying to kill one another because whoever gets to floor 17... without dying, supposedly gets their freedom.
Mike MyersHOST
And this was just a one-shot, and it was really good.
Robbie DormanGUEST
Okay.
ErikHOST
The next one, John Collins, we have Cujo from 1983, directed by Louis Teague, starring Dee Wallace, versus The Running Man from 1987, directed by Paul Michael Glazer, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
ErikHOST
John Collins is laughing.
ErikHOST
Why are you laughing at this team?
ErikHOST
So, Robbie, do you agree with with the Collins assessment of Cujo?
Robbie DormanGUEST
I agree that Cujo is good, but you were talking about nostalgia here.
Robbie DormanGUEST
I I the Running Man movie.
Robbie DormanGUEST
Arnold is nothing like the book.
Helen McIntyreHOST
No, it's absolutely awful.
Helen McIntyreHOST
But the thing that's really shocking to me about it is because I go back and I watch things like The Running Man, Arnie.
Helen McIntyreHOST
Love The Running Man and Arnie.
Helen McIntyreHOST
Love all of the Arnie films.
Helen McIntyreHOST
As we all know, we're in agreement with this, but like... things are like the treatment of women in the scripts and everything are so bad and it's a case of i'm aware that there is an amount of cognitive dissonance that i have to do when i watch them to be like oh but this is just how things were at the time and you can't judge this and you can't judge the character because he's literally doing these behaviors that are so fucking toxic because that was just seen as like being acceptable and we just have to we just have to wave past this is I watched this film and I was like, do you know what? There is no behaviors that I am seeing from the good guys that I'm actually like struggling to like hand wave away.
Dick WarlockGUEST
No. No.
Eddie GreenHOST
I thought you did Commando and The Running Man.
Dick WarlockGUEST
Oh, I did.
Eddie GreenHOST
Yeah.
WaynoHOST
Now I understand, you know, he got about 10 kids and he taking care of his kids because he's streaming and all of that.
WaynoHOST
But it's literally like the movie The Running Man.
WaynoHOST
Y'all ever seen The Running Man? We watch people chase each other to their deaths, right? And you got to take a person out in order for you to win.
WaynoHOST
But in this version of the running man in 2026 going into 2027, it's about you taking yourself out.
WaynoHOST
It's about your health being horrible.
WaynoHOST
It's about everything horrible you could possibly do so people could keep watching so that they don't turn it off, that they keep watching, they keep pointing, they keep laughing, they keep joking.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
Arnold was number one, in my opinion.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
He continued to be the guy with all sorts of movies, including, of course, Running Man the same year.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
He also was in Terminator 2, True Lies.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
And of course, the holiday season hit.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
That's what I'm going to do.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
And it was on the set of Predator where he met Arnold Schwarzenegger, obviously.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
And Arnold was like, hey, you should be in another movie with me called Running Man.
Vaughn JohnsonHOST
And by golly, he was.
Brad SlagerHOST
This is where we are as a society.
Ordy PackardHOST
Actually, point of order, in Running Man, Arnold Schwarzenegger did have a quarter-pointed agent.
Brad SlagerHOST
Right, but that's still, what, 100 years or so in our future? I
Ordy PackardHOST
think that was like 10 years ago.
DaleHOST
This is like controlling people through...
DaleHOST
It's like The Running Man or whatever.
DaleHOST
What do you call that? Just keeping people entertained to the point where they're just dumb and...
ChuckHOST
controlling them that way I read a synopsis of it and it kind of clarified some stuff that Denton so the town that's in Rocky Horror and this one Denton supposedly in shock treatment, the whole town is like, this is the whole town.
