This week, Brennan is joined by Tory to discuss the remake of the Arnold classic, The Running Man!

In The Running Man, a man joins a game show in which contestants, allowed to flee anywhere in the world, are pursued by "hunters" hired to kill them.

The film is directed by Edgar Wright, with a screenplay by Michael Bacall and Edgar Wright, and is based on a novel by Stephen King. It stars Glen Powell, Katy O'Brian, Lee Pace, Coleman Domingo, and Josh Brolin.

The Running Man is available in theaters now!
