Descripción

Before memes, before streaming, and before bowling movies had any right to exist, Kingpin crashed into theaters and quietly became a cult legend. We revisit the Farrelly brothers’ brand of chaos, Bill Murray’s unhinged Ernie McCracken performance, and how a box-office flop turned into a cable-TV staple. Grab a beer, lace up your shoes, and remember why the ’90s were built different.

28: The Running Man

It’s 2019… the dystopian hellscape we were promised back in the 80s. Cuz & Gus dive head-first into The Running Man, the neon-drenched, chaos-filled Arnold Schwarzenegger classic that somehow predicted reality TV, media manipulation, and America’s obsession with violence—just with more spandex and chainsaws. The guys break down the film’s infamously messy production (director fired, rewrites, budget implosions), Richard Dawson’s legendary villain turn as Damon Killian, and why the movie’s accidental campiness made it a cult favorite instead of the dark thriller Stephen King actually wrote. We cover the Stalkers, the weird game-show logic, the absolute 80s insanity of Dynamo singing opera in a light-up suit, and Arnold delivering one-liners like he’s being paid per pun. From satire that aged a little too well, to a remake on the horizon, to what this movie got shockingly right about the future, Cuz & Gus dig into all the blood, bullets, buzzsaws, and baked-in Reagan-era paranoia that make The Running Man one of Arnold’s most watchable disasters. Lights. Camera. Subzero. Now… plane zero.
