Ep 221: The Running Man (1987)

It's time to begin our two-part episode examination of The Running Man from 1987's version to last year's with Edgar Wright. We head all the way back into Arnold Schwarzenegger's peak stardom and unpack this classic 1980s action-fest. Does it hold up? Is it super cheesy? Both? We'll find out! Also each host makes up his own Stalker if we were on the show! So keep an eye out for those satellites, remember your one-liners, and don't touch that dial... it's time for The Running Man 1987 on The Movie Defenders podcast!
