[00:07] making the diagonal lines like stairs, you know, cuz running. Credits to anyone future. Sevens are the cyber-punkest number. Wouldn't blame them for assuming 2017 would be the bad year. >> [sighs]
[00:20] >> Anyway, LOOKING FORWARD TO 2027. >> [groaning] HANDSHAKE with Dylan last week. Silly boys. Richards, you're going to fry for this. And I'll see you in hell. You got to love how pissed these guys
[00:34] massacring a crowd of innocent people. Arnold's arm molds. Definitely feels like a reference to Commando with the log, but a steel I-beam is actually deadline. Honestly, love when a thing is called the thing it does. It's
[00:47] impressive how quick they jump into the plan just from a nod. Give you a lift? The question is, does a terrible Arnie one-liner add insult to injury, or do
[01:00] you go out thinking, "Dang, he got me. This This was actually worth it now." one-liners, but they make up most of his lines this week, so let's get a counter the hip. This week, Ben one-hands a Colt Commando AR-style rifle. We love '80s
[01:15] Arnie. File this under horrific in the context of authoritarian state violence, awesome in the context of head explosions. that slump and sigh from Arnie. For the 2025 remake, Stephen King dropped a pen
[01:30] supposedly used to see if people would like his writing without the fame and hype around his name, and I guess we did. If you want a really fun campy B did. If you want a really fun campy B movie from him, check out Thinner.
[01:47] community. Thank you for making me feel just a little less alone in the world. I get a capital bonus for reporting a family member. Oof, one of the bleakest the thing collaboration with the zone coordinator of Department of Justice.
[02:02] Silly '80s dystopian movie. The DOJ would never. They can outsmart the collars, but they still have to blow it up in the trash. You're one of the cops who locked up all my friends, burned my songs. [music] Perhaps now he's seen too
[02:14] >> Yeah, he's got a point. It's hard to be a good cop under a totalitarian regime. Mac. Maybe he's just playing himself. >> Plus, I'm not into politics. I mean, to survival. Sometimes they're the same thing. Dang it, Laughlin. But either
[02:28] say that. A burgundy Maserati limo on some beefy tires is a hell of a dystopian flex. Richard Dawson might be the best casting in the whole film. He's just so spot-on. Just guess how many episodes of Family Feud he hosted.
[02:41] Wrong. 2,341. Whoa. Sorry. your name? Ben. >> Ben, you're doing good work. World's beautiful. Don't worry. Thank you. Okay. Ben, if that [ __ ] is mopping the
[02:53] the rest of the week. Let's go. [snorts] Sometimes a movie just embraces the something extra special about being nice to the guy's face. He's not just evil, he's also a wuss. That is so much hair. Take a wig, lady.
[03:13] hm Really feel like I'm playing Final Fantasy VII right now. Kurt Fuller, a I do Wayne's World? >> Dunkin' coffee. I see S Channel 1. Full-on corporatist police state, but
[03:26] your apartment follows voice commands? I don't I don't know. Might be worth it. Are you ready for pain? If the answer is yes, then you're ready for Captain Freedom's workout. Yes, he Ventura doesn't even
[03:39] care. A former police officer was the helicopter pilot firing without warning on a crowd of innocent civilians. Amber's a smart one. She already seems is she working out in a negligee? On the page, a giant intruder in boxers chasing
[03:53] is horrifying, but the aerobics music in the background really goofballs the >> Don't control your dial, see, and leave your message. No notes. Having an actual Man contestants is wild. What about those bank robbers, once made that
[04:08] Obviously not. >> Then they're unreliable. Love a villain who is nuts, but consistent. This logic makes total sense for Killian. Sensational. Perfect contestant. I want him. Honestly, this is on Ben for
[04:21] is called The Running Man. >> They want ratings. I can get 10 points for his biceps alone. Hello. >> A, correct. B, if you pause to record he's sassily punctuating his statement with hello. Get me the Justice
[04:35] Department Entertainment Division. No, no, hold that. Get me the President's Agent. Look, I know you all love politiwins, but how Pete Hegseth isn't and President's Agent isn't Caroline Levitt's official title is really beyond
[04:48] me. And that includes the last seven all the way back to Spicer. Oh, why should I? Because I'm going to SAY PLEASE. movies, they stopped doing this bit, but both Predator and The Running Man have
[05:04] strong he is in case people didn't understand that from the throbbing veiny mass of muscles moments, and I miss them. Got to remember, I can break your Captain Freedom kills the deepfake version of her. Two weeks, am I right?
[05:18] by Total Recall. Is that an Apple Vision Pro? I'm going to throw up all over you. Ben's got jokes. There he goes again, auditioning for the show. I'd like you to volunteer to appear on tomorrow's broadcast of The Running Man. You. And
[05:35] there my favorite PG action star goes again, confusing my brain with the curse >> So, if you don't do The Running Man tomorrow, Weiss and Laughlin are going >> I like that it's made clear that even Killian knows that Ben was framed
[05:48] bunch of innocent women and children care about prison mates? we're done with him. Holy eyes, Batman. Like the ticket agent and security guard don't even bother giving Amber a heads-up about the narrative change,
[06:03] and will do, they just assume she'll keep her mouth shut. Sven Ole Thorsen, just Sven here. He had a tiny part last week in Predator, but he's in tons of Tigris the Gaul in Gladiator. Or, if you're even older, LaFour is the
[06:15] legendary security guard in Mallrats. Fun fact, Paula Abdul choreographed this opening dance number, and the composer named the track Paula's Theme.
[06:29] been more on the nose is if he actually licked one of Buzzsaw's boots. I would say this is over the top, but Peacemaker exists, so nah, they nailed it. He is not okay. You'd think this would be where MC Hammer stole the Running Man
[06:42] Okay, maybe the fans' enthusiasm is a illicit substances were involved. You know you own the ratings when your show can have a four-minute dance intro, and everyone just absolutely loves it. Or,
[06:55] maybe this is the Girls Just Want to Have Fun universe. Is Lynn Stone canon? Lucky didn't kill you, too. you and kill you. I don't >> [sighs]
[07:07] >> [sighs] >> So, like showtime! I REMEMBER thinking this was so silly
[07:22] a charismatic host can make a show about bakery health inspections exciting. >> Use my back, victim. And it almost woke the wife up. That smile. Yeah, badass good guy right there. Also love that Sven doesn't do
[07:34] being a class traitor. >> I WANT A KISS NOW, a big kiss. But remember, no tongues. Bless you. Sit down, little darling. normal game show banter. It's all very ordinary, the murder stuff. Of course,
[07:49] good people getting killed, not even graphically. Meanwhile, they're all there excited to watch bad people get killed in horribly graphic ways. Too killed in horribly graphic ways. Too accurate.
[08:06] revealed, they go bananas. And dang, trefoil Adidas, or trefoil Adidas. Either way, they rarely miss. Damon, how about a year's supply of Orthopure sizes? Cool, cool. Procreation pills
[08:19] normal. Fine. It's all fine. Badness buddies, Harold Weiss and William Laughlin! [ __ ] Smart of Killian to wait until double cross. Ben's got nothing to lose if his friends are going to die anyway.
[08:35] his last act. >> Killian, >> Killian, I'll be back. Only in a rerun. Ha. We signature line, but Killian is the king of comebacks. As a kid, the insane speed
[08:48] looked wicked fun. As an adult, I'd rather be thrown over a railing by my of tube travel lets us know that the quads are not close to the studio. Yes, that is Charlie's mom. First Max Mom and Napoleon Dynamite, now Charlie's mom in
[09:02] The Running Man? I mean, what's next? Dennis in something like Must Love Dogs? What's that? He is? Really? And Crank 1 and 2? Wow. Fascinating. What? No, I'm I'm good. I I love fall, but
[09:18] it's it's hard that it gets dark this early. What? Oh, nobody. I'm just doing a bit that's gone on way too long. Liam from Liam into quivering bloody sushi, Professor Sub Zero! Love how he goes from serious to so
[09:30] smiley. And fun fact, Professor Toru Tanaka is his official IMDb name from his WWF days. Even funner fact, he wasn't Japanese. He was actually of Hawaiian and Chinese descent. Great shot with great lighting. And if you're sort
[09:44] of wondering how they got them into Sub-Zero's lair, it's these guys' job. I on the quads, but they're clearly there letting us know that the theatrics really are a big part of it. Sub-Zero
[09:56] them right there, but that's not good television. STRAIGHT-UP BEST PART OF THE FILM, NO DEBATE.
[10:12] Weiss or Laughlin did, just that they're Ben's friends. The audience still wants them dead because, you know, it's that's the show. So gnarly and yet not the worst way to die in this film. And as much as the crowd is bummed cuz Sub-Zero
[10:25] was like a cast member on a show they liked, at least some of them are upset cuz his death was too quick to satisfy their bloodlust. This guy for sure. Here is Sub-Zero. Now plain zero.
[10:37] >> [laughter] >> He gets a win for effort. Glad we took care of Sub-Zero. He was a real pain in the neck. That's clearly ADR. They came back to add that line. >> You want people in front of the TV sets,
[10:50] well you ain't going to get that with reruns of Gilligan's Island. Yeah. Yeah, the one with the boat. He's that's a heck of a way to end the conversation. Okay, now guess how many
[11:02] seasons Gilligan's Island had. Wrong, three. Plus a few TV movies. I was blown away based on how well it's known even four decades later.
[11:16] power kind of makes sense since Erland Philip Peter van Lith graduated from MIT electrical engineering. And no, I'm not jealous of his killer name or opera skills. Stop asking. She's violated the law and traditional morality all of her
[11:30] life. She did on college exam, had sexual relationships with two, sometimes >> Obviously, they're stretching for her moral failings. The cheating could just
[11:42] to the CDC, her promiscuity is statistically just being single. She's airport. Guess this is how they work. Oh yeah, go ahead and make jokes. He will. I'm realizing it's like one of his main things after being strong. Dude on a
[11:57] dirt bike swinging chainsaws is absolute nightmare material. Buzzsaw really is been trying to jam the network for 5 years. This could be our chance. Go. No, >> That's the real hero right there. He knows it's pretty bad odds, but there's
[12:11] knows it's pretty bad odds, but there's more at stake than just his life. is Buzzsaw making chainsaw noises with his voice. It's not like normal people
[12:23] are signing up to be in the murder game show, so it totally checks out. That would be awful no matter what, but in just spandex?
[12:35] expectation subversion. We know it's coming, but everyone thinks it's going to be a chainsaw. That's all right. Keep it tight. been better. I would have gone with, nah, you keep it. I'm not nuts. Also
[12:49] the movie. It's impressive that Dynamo somehow makes a suit of light bright seem menacing. He's moving his mouth, but only orchestral music is coming out. but only orchestral music is coming out. Hey, light head. HEY, CHRISTMAS TREE.
[13:05] there or an electric golf cart motor, apparently it's a flat-four VW. There's which makes the engine rev noise amazing. One thing I actually find vastly uneven the stalkers' weapons are. Sub-Zero's wearing hockey pads and
[13:18] basically has a sword. Buzzsaw rode a dual sport motorcycle and had chainsaws. This goober has a whole car and shoots lightning. And then the next guy up and shoots fire. If there are no rules, give me an Iron Man suit and I bet I can
[13:31] have told them, if you're going to have an open top, you absolutely need a roll bar. I was just joking before about the illicit substances, but holy pupils, she barely has an iris. No. I wouldn't kill a helpless human being,
[13:45] not even a sadistic scum like you. Badass mercy. The audience is depressingly accurate. They just saw Richards kill a fan favorite via opera note and were visibly disturbed by it, but still want to see a dude get his
[13:57] head smashed in. It's like IRL doomscrolling. What happened to Buzzsaw? Uh, he had to split. There it is. Buzzsaw took care of my traveling with a hilarious joke if and when I'm mortally wounded.
[14:10] >> Don't let us down. I don't want to be the only [ __ ] in heaven. Dang, he just keeps delivering. Incredible death line. Hyping up his dude while also guy right there. How would you like a three-year contract and a beachfront
[14:25] condo? But I hope you leave enough room for my your stomach AND BREAK YOUR GODDAMN SPINE. I GET THE 15 MILLION MERITS IS probably closer to reality for the average
[14:38] the '80s. Looks like two other popular network shows confess with a red, white, and blue flag, but I need to know the premise of the hate boat. I assume it's bring couples on a cruise ship and try to break them up and then probably
[14:52] each other. Sounds fun. Credit where Captain Freedom staring at an absurd portrait of himself while popping pills is simultaneously the funniest and saddest part of this film. I think the
[15:05] next kill will be made by Ben Richards. I can pick anyone I choose, and I choose Killian's love of his life, number one fan Agnes, be the one to turn the tide and admit she thinks Richards will win. That boy's one mean [ __ ]
[15:20] She's not wrong. We should have taken that trip to Hawaii. I had the shot boy, I can't explain why cursing is so much funnier with his accent, but it just is. for this particular dystopia, people embrace their emotions. Turns out pink
[15:35] temperature of a fire, but actually the chemicals that are being burned. So danger of being flambéed, but also might get cancer. Fireball is all about the then you remember he has a studio of professionals tracking the runners, so
[15:49] And with all that weight, he's probably facing himself well. All right, badass not get a badass bad guy. >> Last season's winners. No. >> Last season's winners. No. Last season's losers. By 2025 standards,
[16:03] were going to be dead, but when I first saw this, I was shocked they had gone did have something they didn't have. A great big bushy beard. And if your first thought is, wow, way to leave literal bodies lying around, baddies. Yeah, why
[16:17] the quad alive and they're just that arrogant. Pop by the light. weakness, but remember, his whole thing is a jetpack and flamethrower. No one
[16:32] ever gets that close. What a hothead. Cuz he's on fire. This is a sport of death and honor, code of the gladiators. Say what you will about the tenets of the code of the gladiators, but at least it's an ethos and I choose to believe it
[16:45] directly led to the creation of this. Who doesn't love an in memoriam dance outfits the dancers are wearing. So this movie predicted deepfakes. Cool. didn't tell the viewers that this was a deepfake until after both Amber and
[17:00] like that because movie studios suck and think we're really, really stupid. underutilized in this movie. He is the best. Proving once again that white is white power. WHAT A SAVE. HE SAID THE THING. AM I ALLOWED to call
[17:15] this government fascist or are they too free because the murder game show is voluntary? They need a leader. They need someone with experience. Did to remove a win here. This was the perfect moment for Mick Fleetwood to
[17:28] amazing credits behind Killian. I assume that's Killian's wardrobe by no inseam. Thanks to a bunch of generic names and then you, me, us, them. What next? I don't know. Art direction, red, g, blue, and music, do, re, mi. It's the original
[17:41] video from the Bakersfield massacre. Where did you hide that? None of your business. Dedication. Mourning complete. Even though he's has his finger on the trigger, Arnold with a gun just looks right.
[17:54] >> Mr. Spaceman, you have the comm? Who's Mr. Spaceman? That's it right there. authoritarianism, the death of art. TNG out, so at this point the writers would only know about the original series. In
[18:06] and the Kelvin movies had already finished. 13 movies and six full series. This nerd's life is so much sadder. Whoever edited this together so quickly deserves a medal. Don't touch that dial. Dang. Frank Zappa's kid Dweezil wearing
[18:21] that red beret like a guy who wins things. Frank Stallone, technical director of the game. Oh man, once you lose Agnes, it's over. though he stole it from Killian, it still counts. Sub-Zero is the only
[18:36] weapons. Anyway, if I were Amber, I would have see me, and then turn to the camera and give a thumbs up on freeze frame. Richards with the anti-stormtrooper aim in a crowded room? Hello, cutie pie. I
[18:50] bummed that Arnie and Sven didn't go head-to-head with this build-up, but the score some steroids. Love the smile to Richards. LaFours knows who his real friends are. Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. They love
[19:04] wrestling. They love sports, violence. So what do we do? We give them what they >> Uncool, Mr. King. You didn't need to hold the mirror up to us, you jerk. Drop hold the mirror up to us, you jerk. Drop dead. I don't do requests. Come up. Oh
[19:17] wow, that is a very large explosion. Did not see that coming from the little bobsled thing. Anyway, come up. Well, that hit the spot. Dang, he's good. And that hit the spot. Dang, he's good. And after that little bump, she's back.
[19:32] movies in this country. Love, I guess. These days I'm glad that at least some but I do still have a bit of a soft spot for, huh, okay, sure, ending kiss. Plus, they're hotties and we already know she's got an
[19:45] immortal body count. If you'd like to be a contestant on The Running Man, send a self-addressed stamped envelope, and then go out and do something really despicable. Ha. Believable. The Running Man novel was a
[19:57] creates the whole Roman gladiators in the Colosseum killing each other for our reboot will be closer to the novel in many respects. The Running Man 1987 movie might be the most one-liner packed movie of all time. I won't be confirming
[20:11] another movie that was a big part of my childhood, which sounds insane, but like versions were almost completely different movies. No cursing, no blood, off-screen. So, I have fond memories of it, and it
[20:25] holds up the way Predator did, but it's basically a dystopian dark comedy. And if you enjoy feeling uneasy while laughing, boy do I have some good news from The Dinner Plan, Patrick Williams' brand new film that I'm so very excited
[20:39] attending a dinner party hosted by his boss, a man who suffers from a rare food night of his life with one primary objective, just don't throw up in front of everyone. It has a bunch of faces you'll recognize like Mothman from The
[20:52] from Severance, and my favorite part is that I know someone is yelling at me you ignoring fill in the blank? Exactly. You know them all, and you can watch the trailer right now. November 26th is the release date only on Nebula. If you sign
