CINEMISSES! The Running Man (2025)

While most dystopian remakes lean into camp or the fantastical — this one dares to be frighteningly real. In today's episode, Matt and Tug dive into Edgar Wright’s gritty reimagining of "The Running Man," a sharp, modern take on the classic sci-fi story from Stephen King. Unlike the over-the-top 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film, this version taps into a near-future that feels disturbingly close to home, exploring issues of income inequality, media manipulation, and mass surveillance. We'll talk about how the film pulls from King’s original novella to create a more grounded dystopia that hits a little to close to home. We'll explore the trademark visual storytelling techniques Wright uses to build tension and deliver the narrative. Finally, we'll shudder at how modern tech like deep fakes and drones makes the movie feel unsettlingly current. We aren't as angry as Ben Richards is, but we RAN, to talk about this movie. We hope you'll RUN to listen to it. It's showtime!

CINEMISSES! No Country For Old Men

Today Matt and tackle a light-hearted summertime romp, a film that some would even call the "feel-good movie of 2007!" That's right, it's the Coen Brothers' award winning masterpiece – "No Country For Old Men." The boys will explore the plot and themes of the film, the Coen's unique approach to storytelling and filmmaking, even a little bit about Cormac McCarthy, who wrote the original novel. And because it's a story about a crime gone bad, there will be plenty of talk about how "No Country" connects to another Coen Brothers' masterpiece, "Fargo." There's gonna be blood, guts and a whole lot of near misses. Should you listen? Hold on, I'll flip a coin. Call it, Friendo.
