169: The Running Man with Radio Silence

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, 2/3rds of the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence, take a victory lap after the release of their brand new Scream VI to join Wampler and Vespe and discuss the 1987 camp classic The Running Man. The movie bears little resemblance to the King/Bachman story, granted, but it turns out this goofy action comedy was oddly prophetic about the state of world politics and entertainment. It also influenced the filmmaking team in ways you may not expect. From the art of the one-liner to breaking down some of the differences between the source material and the movie, this conversation will keep you almost as entertained as Dynamo's opera skills.
