The Running Man (2025) - LIVESTREAM REPLAY!
0 Plays2 seconds ago
This is the audio-only version of our livestream from November 18th, where we discussed the 2025 adaptation of THE RUNNING MAN!
We went to the theater to see the brand new adaptation of the Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) classic story, directed by one of Derrick's favorite directors, Edgar Wright! Down-on-his-luck father Ben Richards, played by human capybara Glen Powell, enters a brutal televised game show where “runners” must survive 30 days on the run while being hunted by professional killers. Desperate to secure funds to care for his sick daughter and escape the oppressive dystopian state, Richards becomes a symbol of defiance against a corrupt system built on spectacle and fear.

Speaker
Hey, big boys!
00:02:33
Speaker
Are you crazy?
00:02:42
Speaker
Welcome. I might be a little crazy. There we go. That trailer, I thought that it's going to give too much to it. It doesn't. no, it does a good job of getting you hooked.
00:02:53
Speaker
Oh, my God. It was really good, really good. Sorry, I'm in disguise. i don't want anyone to recognize me. You see, you report, damn it. You can't see this. yeah we Everyone's going to be looking for someone not dressed like a clown.
00:03:07
Speaker
And we got a free poster. oh uh when we had first seen the trailer whitney was like it gave the whole thing away but after watching it there's a lot there's a lot there yeah and i think we've decided before on these we're not going to do spoilers no no yeah this is brand new movies so we're not going to spoilers we are going to just talk about our thoughts maybe some moments but nothing that's a spoiler I definitely want to get into the differences between the movies because, and I think if Derek is the one that told me this because I hate remakes. That's never saw the new word Total Recall.
00:03:40
Speaker
This is not a remake though. This is an adaptation of the book, probably a closer one. I couldn't tell you. and i don't According to what I read during our episode, which I know you don't remember, that was weeks ago. I mean, it was today for the listeners. have been minutes ago, dude. This is much closer to the actual book.
00:04:00
Speaker
Have you read the book, either of you? it's one that It's one of the few that I have not read. ok i was like, he's the the big Stephen King fan. He's the best of them. Which, it was whatever days ago when Derek read that that I figured out this a Stephen King book.
00:04:13
Speaker
Well, it was Richard Bachman. But we do have a comment already. it just says But it's just ah our friend Amanda saying, hi. Hi.
00:04:27
Speaker
um But yeah, so let's talk about Edgar Wright's Let's talk about sex, baby. Actually, no, it's not because there's barely any sex in this movie. That's okay.
00:04:37
Speaker
Yeah, you're not allowed to have sex in movies anymore. mean, you do
Audience Reaction to Edgar Wright's Humor
00:04:41
Speaker
get bare of the human capybara. I love the angry capybara, by the way I'm not saying it didn't do it for me.
00:04:48
Speaker
Tis not sex. Tis not sex, but tis gorgeous. and that is That is ah ah Edgar Wright's way of being like, okay, we're not allowed to put sex in movies anymore, but I'm going to sex you up anyway.
00:05:00
Speaker
yeah it's gonna look like two uh hams fighting over a milk dud in the back of his pants oh I was very pleased well when he's wearing them so yeah let's talk let's talk uh without you know spoilers what first of all what are your general thoughts Jack we'll start with you what did you how'd you feel about this one ah Dude, it started off and I was like, oh, Derek's going to hate me because it's a little slower. um It also starts with coughing and crying for way longer. I think people that have listened know I don't like constant noises, beepings, boopings, cryings, wheezing, coughing. So I was sitting there. i was like fuck, man, I'm gonna make Derek so mad when I don't like this movie. But it definitely, like it just, it built up and I enjoyed it a lot. I don't think as much as you, but I think more than Whitney.
00:05:47
Speaker
i I loved this movie. okay Not as much as Whitney. I thought this was phenomenal. I had fun with the original. um I just think, I'm sorry, my daughter's dog is barking in the back. um I just think that
Comparing Original Movie and New Adaptation
00:06:01
Speaker
this was a wonderful adaptation. i think that we were able to, they did a great job with the CG and the realistic, the blend. Most of the time.
00:06:10
Speaker
Yeah. So I and then Bada Booms. Oh, we love the Bada Booms. Oh, hey, Jack, we've got a comment from our friends that dissect that film. You don't ever need to see the Total Recall remake.
00:06:24
Speaker
Finally, I can say I did something right in my life. Yeah, that that is 100 percent unnecessary. I've seen it and it sucks.
00:06:34
Speaker
Sounds like it's safe for me. where But have you seen the original, knowing you? okay Well, don't say yeah like that, Mrs. I just saw Basic Instinct and still haven't seen Predator. Come off it. yeah i for As far as me, I loved this movie. I think I was like, I'm going to piss Jack off because I think this is better than the original.
00:06:55
Speaker
um But I am the Edgar Wright guy. um I actually do kind of agree with you that it is a better actual movie. It's not more fun.
00:07:08
Speaker
No, agreed. It does have its fun moments. It does have that Edgar Wright thumbprint where people are being, pun intended, cheeky. um It has that, but I mean, like, get it into it real quick. These
Analyzing Movie Aspects
00:07:21
Speaker
hunters aren't personas. They're not supposed to be.
00:07:24
Speaker
no you know what i mean like now like cut to Buzzsaw Sub-Zero some fucking guy in a diaper that shoots sparks like those are are more fun than these guys but it's not supposed to be that way so that's why I'm saying like I do think this is a better movie it had a much better plot it did a great job of showing you this world where running man typically you see like one or two apartments and the rest is the arena Yeah. Yeah. And I think again, I didn't read the book, so I don't I think there's probably not the cartoon wrestler type of bad guys in that. I'd imagine. I think that's probably one of the big things. um This is probably a lot closer. Is that their dog still barking?
00:08:09
Speaker
Yes. That's why you got to get cats, guys. Bring out Pacino.
00:08:16
Speaker
Sorry, folks at home. I muted my microphone, but you can hear me on the wife's microphone. and think you I think you heard it on mine and we're blocks away. Al Pacino's coming in here to sue you. Hey, who took my persona?
00:08:28
Speaker
I want to say real quick to the people on Instagram because I have to watch their comments separately. That stream is way behind. So if you post a comment, we will answer it. It's just going to be way after you posted it.
00:08:40
Speaker
We'll get to it. I promise. We'll get them. Yeah, I had a lot of fun with it i think I think it was. I think the action. I mean, it's it's a totally different type of movie. You know, the 80s one is an 80s one. It's Arnold Schwarzenegger doing his Arnold Schwarzenegger thing. This has little to no one liners. I can't remember any.
00:08:56
Speaker
And that's not to say that i I missed them. It's just that this is. It's not that movie, kid. Yeah, I mean, it's not because that's the Arnold thumbprint. You know, I don't even know if that script had the one liners until they hired Arnold. You know what I mean? Like true.
00:09:10
Speaker
Oh, my God. Yeah, I just saw that comment. What just happened? He hasn't ever seen the Arnold Schwarzenegger running man. Okay, can't say anything because I just watched it for the first time. wet like Well, no, but that means you can say something like you wish you wouldn't have waited so long.
00:09:29
Speaker
i It didn't hurt me in any way. like It still was good. Yeah, but you could have had this good feeling much earlier in life. True. We have... ah Figure out where you're going.
00:09:44
Speaker
Don't spy on Maya. on Instagram. I'm not sure who it is, but happy birthday to me. Thank you. today my birthday yeah That's Maya from the cruise. Oh, okay. Hi, baby girl. And then she said, I love you, Whitney.
00:09:58
Speaker
Also, happy birthday, Derek. Yes, happy your birthday. today is is actually Sorry, your movie sucked. you say yeah I wanted to come out of combative. I think the action, i mean, it's, a you know, again, eighty s versus 2025. The action is ramped up to a whole nother level. And this is Edgar Wright action, like through and through, like post, you know, his earlier movies didn't have as much because he didn't have as much money. Once you look at Baby Driver or something like that, or Scott Pilgrim versus the world, this had Scott Pilgrim
Josh Brolin's Role and Character Dynamics
00:10:27
Speaker
all over over it without the over the overthe top cartoon stuff. But it had like the banners in the corner, the timer count. The screen wipes is what really made me think of the Scott Pilgrim kind of effect. You know, because sometimes it would be somebody lighting a fire and it would be on purpose like bad CG fire, but that's because they're burning away that scene to bring up this one. And it worked. yeah.
00:10:48
Speaker
I got a couple more birthday wishes. One from Jabba the Slut. Great fucking name. Over on YouTube. Jabba the Slut is kind of a ho, ho, ho. Oh, it's Boy Whitney. Hi, Boy Whitney.
00:10:59
Speaker
One of the most confusing names in my life. When when co-host Whitney starts talking, she's like, yeah, i got drunk with Whitney last night. I'm like, oh, no. She's so drunk she third-personed herself.
00:11:10
Speaker
This is not good for us. um so if anybody oh dissect that that film responded again i've seen let me pull it up i've seen pretty much all this filmography but don't remember watching that one that means you haven't seen it because you'd remember yeah it's it's get you uh get you a little like the hand clicker things and just count the one-liners and it's absurd if it's the same as it was when we recorded it's like five dollars to buy on amazon i'm a proponent of physical but five dollars for a 4k yeah come on come on come worth it i'm trying to pull it up now while we're live uh it's oh it's seven dollars now oh man you missed out i'd still send it
00:11:52
Speaker
Oh, he also said happy birthday to me. um And we have a question from our one of our friends over at the Tomb of Terrors with Old Man Brad podcast. He's not here right now, but he sent me the question earlier because he he saw it this weekend.
00:12:07
Speaker
ah So how do we feel about how do you feel Edgar Wright did mixing his brand of humor? Did it feel like it was forced? I love this question because, you know, who didn't care for the humor? All the fucking, no, no, no. Just everybody else in the audience that we were watching. All of all the senior citizens. I was going to say, because it was an older crowd because we went there in the middle of the day when most people are at work, unless you're a bartender or fucking oxygenarian. I don't think any of them laughed once. No. Oh, man. I know were probably pissing them off. We were rolling back there. So I don't think it was forced. It wasn't necessarily, i mean, it wasn't supposed to be as funny as the other ones that I love from him, but I don't think it felt forced. I felt like it was good.
00:12:47
Speaker
i Do not like the human capybary. That's another reason when this started i was like ah he grew on me like a capybary just ugly enough to be beautiful so I I like him I'm gonna stop you real quick go ahead that's what said I love the angry capybara like he did it for me in this movie yeah the dirty grungy fuck you attitude he definitely grew on me you know the like from the from the ah title the the trailer I'm still here you eaters like once he started having a little bit more fun so did I yes
00:13:22
Speaker
Yeah, i I know Jack isn't a huge fan. I'm you've been paid i a person. you've You've been you've been Pedro Pascal at this point with I have Glenn Powell. Yeah, I still like Chalamet. Yeah, I still like all those guys. I like human cabby Barra. I don't watch his like romantic comedies shit. Well, I didn't care. But I think Star, think he's good. Should we let everybody know that Glenn Powell is the human cabby Barra? Yeah, Glenn Powell. I think I just have a greater capacity for hate than you do.
00:13:51
Speaker
That's fair. um so yeah i mean what was some stuff that i wanted to talk about um we talked about the hunters the hunters versus the ah what were they called in the original in the original hunters no no they had a different name the don't remember and the I don't remember, but they're just hunters now. And it's just like kind of a generic group of guys. You have the one lead one who wears the mask and then the one that you that actor out of your mouth.
00:14:23
Speaker
We're not going to spoil that for people. No, I called it like halfway through the movie. i i didn't know I saw his name in the opening credits, but then I heard his voice and I was like, oh, OK, I didn't see his name. So i would just say focus on the eyebrows.
00:14:35
Speaker
I did not read the names intentionally I enjoyed the little commercial thing that he was doing you know he's like you can't outrun fate he's got fate on his gun can't hide from destiny destiny on his knife like it's a cool thing because it is
Game Difficulty and Societal Context
00:14:48
Speaker
I got i got reminded a little bit of the uh satire that was Starship Troopers because like we live in America the greatest fucking country that exists like they're not pulling punches they're like hey we're gonna curse and we're gonna tell you how fucking dope America is and I wish you kill everybody else i mean right in the trailer at the beginning uh coleman domingo who by the way amazing as bobby t like he and he keeps that that that voice he's doing that hey ever everybody like even him when he's backstage he's like i don't know what the fuck you're talking about i don't know what the you're talking about but he's just like he's like we don't give a shit and let's like this is live tv his sultry sexy tones yeah someone uh uh
00:15:29
Speaker
Oh, I said that film just said stalkers. Mike just commented. Oh, yes. Stalkers. Whitney's brother. or No. Oh, that's my boss. That's boss Mike. That's boss Mike.
00:15:40
Speaker
Bar bottle Mike. There's a stalkers. Yes. Thank you, Mike. And yes, the the hey angry human capybara is Glenn Powell. Sorry. That's from when we had our friend, the classy alcoholic on and he called him a human capybara and none of us have been able to unsee it. I never know. So yeah, good luck that's what happened.
00:15:58
Speaker
but yeah i think uh Coleman Domingo's like the host character having the host and Killian as separate characters gave us another aspect here I liked that as I was watching i was like okay so Dawson just did like uh Dickie Dawes just did both these parts yeah because he was the guy up in the fucking tower doing the deep fakes he was a guy down there selling it Coleman Domingo is actually surprisingly uh more grounded than he is even though he's wearing like the full white suit and he's coming out with such swagger It's still reigned in more.
00:16:27
Speaker
Well, and he's the one like when they when they pull up Ben Richards and they're listing off his quote unquote crimes and like Ben Richards is getting all mad. He turns around. He's like, it's fucking TV, kid. Calm him the fuck down. yeah he's He's a performer through. him Don't shake your cock. The audience. Terrible. note i i like it I would. I would have looked. That brings me to the next thing I want to talk about, though, is Killian fucking Josh Brolin in this one.
00:16:54
Speaker
Yeah, I think he nailed it. Amazing. And I knew from the trailer I was going to like him just from that one scene. I mean, I love Josh Brolin, but from the scene they show in the trailer where Glenn Powell is like, i'm going to come back here and burn this place down. And he just slaps him on the face and he's like, that's the spirit. That's like the spirit. You are certifiably the angriest man I've ever met.
00:17:15
Speaker
Yes, dude. And that I love that being the ah maybe as an angry person, I love that being the sub thread of this whole movie is like Glenn Powell's big problem is that he's a good man. He's just really, really angry and very quick, quick tempered. Well, and also he does genuinely want to help people.
00:17:34
Speaker
Sounds like my husband. Except for the genuinely wanting to help people. I don't want to hurt people, but I'm not going to go out on my way to help you. You'll let them fall. watching you watch a kid go in the running man all day you know for a hand up he'd be like uh you need help getting up if we did the running kid oh running boy so without spoiling it i want to do get into a little bit that how much harder this running man game is oh yeah so much because in the original you had the stalkers and that's about it maybe the dirt bikers like wrangled you in dude this is hunters goons city people anybody everybody people get 3 000 new
Listener Comments and Personal Anecdotes
00:18:17
Speaker
dollars which by the way dollars new dollars with arnold schwarzenegger right on the bill which does mean this is a shared universe with demolition man where arnie was president
00:18:27
Speaker
Yeah, I think i we talked about leaving the movie, but I think this falls between the beginning of Demolition Man, where it's like Escape from New York universe and then the Utopia in between. There was the networks took over and then the franchises ended up taking over. and We had the franchise wars, Taco Bell and or Pizza Hut one, depending on what country you're from. And then we got Demolition Man. Oh, wow.
00:18:49
Speaker
It's all hot. um But it's $3,000 new dollars for just giving a ah ah A verified site sighting of a runner. Yeah. And then 10,000, if it leads to a kill.
00:19:06
Speaker
And he says at one point, uh, Killian does that. If you finish a week, it's enough to put you in the top 1% of income and he shows the chart and that's $80,000. So new dollars puts you in the top of income. for of hint that leads to a kill that's going to get everybody on the streets to give you up especially the poor people and this is nothing but fucking slums and shanty towns i mean there's like upper slums and lower slums but unless you're in this big gated guarded community dude fuck you're you're you're slumming it unless you're an exec dude who doesn't love josh brolin i bet you there's somebody out there exactly who doesn't fucking love him because some ex-girlfriend
00:19:52
Speaker
scorn lover no she's still like that piece of shit but i just want to cuddle him anyway i just miss him isn't barbara streisand his stepmom like his stepmom is babs i'd watch that porn as it entit these josh roll i'm stuck barbara streisand is stuck in the dishwasher dishwasher dishwasher make me a dish
00:20:24
Speaker
so they're a little bit behind i think because the streams are all at different speeds but yeah that's it we just we just did our episode on demolition man with dissect that film it just came out this past week so a great fucking time demolition man simon phoenix i didn't get to be on that episode you chose not to you were like a day off yeah um what can we talk oh um what's her name kathy law written down these people's names the one about laughlin yeah uh o'brien katie o'brien oh bri ryan yeah who we've got you o'brien here we like boobs of every shape and size oh i'd like to see every rock icon except for i rock i don't want to go there give me give me one night with her please one
00:21:12
Speaker
ah We talked about her quite a couple or quite a couple, quite a got a couple times watch couple times on ah the Mandalorian on ah Han took shots first. And then her role there is not done recently.
00:21:24
Speaker
No. Yeah. she was that's right She was in that CG garbage Ant-Man. oh Yeah. We talked about that. I think I forgot about that movie again. Good. I forgot about talking about that movie.
00:21:36
Speaker
and No, she wasn't. Nevermind. Somebody else I was thinking of. but she's you know She's a good tough chick. and then yeah The third is just... ah How does the other guy describe it? the he's has ah He has a problem, like ah a weakness for needing attention or something. Yeah. yeah and it's It's so funny. the easy kill, basically. yeah there's like The kills are are really fun, by the way.
00:21:58
Speaker
oh yeah I mean obviously there's good there's some CG blood but they don't linger on a lot of it but there is a lot of stuff on these people like especially on Glenn Powell he's covered I guess I mean just how scars and cuts and real like real fake blood how quick it can go from zero to murder where it's like walking along bop and I keep walking yeah And I mean, without spoiling anything again, there's there's the people who ah try to assist Glenn
Final Thoughts and Movie Recommendation
00:22:24
Speaker
Powell along the way. And one of them shows them some old footage. And one of the guys is taken out in the exact same way as that guy, like to it. It's like, come on, guys.
00:22:32
Speaker
Look at the bru look the ah blueprint.
00:22:36
Speaker
I like that, too. I wish I got I recognized that guy and I can't think of what I know him from the the one that was helping him. Yeah, you know, he looked like he looks like the um an actor that's on all the sci-fi stuff. He would definitely be too old for it.
00:22:53
Speaker
But the Black people we always talk about. yeah I know which actor you're talking about. he it kind of looks like a mix between him and Dr. Dre. I saw him in something recently, but I can't think of what it was. Did he play Dre?
00:23:07
Speaker
That's for you, wife. He reminded me of an actor that was also in the show Grimm, one of the cops. So I'm wondering if he's like his little brother or something. No, it couldn't have. I was like, oh, that's what he looked like, but it couldn't have been him. But this message on the screen is for you, wife.
00:23:20
Speaker
Aww. I promise next time I will be on it. She's going to cry. i God. I did. do Oh, do you think I cried in this movie at all?
00:23:32
Speaker
No. Yes. Oh, I definitely did. What a weirdo. It's a movie, so I just assumed. There was one part where I was just like. They kept a ah lot like enough romance and love out of it to keep me happy.
00:23:46
Speaker
So the person we're talking about is Daniel Ezra. Better than Ezra. ah He's a British actor and known for his role, Spencer James, on the CW show All-American. Okay, so I don't know him then.
00:23:59
Speaker
No, we've seen him in stuff. He's definitely been in Little Bags. He works on the CW. Of course, he's a British actor. We've got to figure out a British actor in to take an American job. They took her jobs.
00:24:11
Speaker
i love that You weren't going to be an actor. could have played this character. I could have played him. i could have played him i could be the running man just give me a big hammer and a watermelon those goons will come up and i'll just say splat that's what this movie needed was a little ventura oh that was ah i was doing gallagher gallagher but we could used gallagher too or ventura just you her still You know, and it probably would have been annoying, but a cameo from Arnold would have been interesting, but he was on the cameo. Yeah, I guess he was on the bill. So, but just like him as a rich guy in one of the buildings, like the hotel at the beginning or whatever. And like he, uh, Glenn Powell runs past him. i don't know.
00:24:57
Speaker
Hey, you're running, man. Oh my God, dude. If you hated when we did talk about demolition, man, we talked about how often they say the title got nothing on this film. I don't know.
00:25:09
Speaker
What about Michael Cera? I don't know that he's that he's awesome in this movie and it's because it's an Edgar Wright movie. You got to put Michael Cera in it. Thousand percent. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's we don't need to spoil his role or anything. Yeah. I don't want to spoil. I mean, just out just what people saw in the trailer. Like, just don't ask him about hot dogs. Oh, that's why he said that. Because I was saying a guy who helps him along the way. In the trailer, they show Michael Cera.
00:25:31
Speaker
Okay. i Sorry. It's because the comments are so, like, the stream is so far behind. Gotcha. But, yeah, Michael Cera does a really good job, actually. i've I found him really funny, and i' I'm at the point. Michael Cera is my Glenn Powell for you. like Okay. I'm so over that kid, except for, like, when he does do a good job, it's so funny.
00:25:50
Speaker
He's just that guy who accidentally showed up on a set that he was not supposed to be on and then flubbed up famously. Well, he's too awkward to say I'm not supposed to be here. Exactly. He's like, fuck, it's probably easier for my anxiety just to act my way out of this. is On a previous new movies, Worst People that we did, he was in a ah dream scenario back when we were recording them and posting them on YouTube. And he was good in that. But yeah, so finally caught up. Okay, not Michael Cera. Definitely not.
00:26:21
Speaker
But yeah, he his part's really good. His mom is hilarious. I don't think it's his real mom, but you know, his movie mom. Mm-hmm. Just get the easiest laugh I've ever heard. Oh, that was fantastic. Great. It worked out comedically, but it was a terrifying laugh.
00:26:35
Speaker
I now need to eat butterscotch pudding with whipped cream on it. Ugh. Ugh. Keep it. I like both of those things. I'm like, ugh. don't think like either of those things. um i i I turned 40 today, so that means ah I'm actually like 90, so I gotta love butterscotch.
00:26:50
Speaker
Oh yeah, we gotta get you some more originals. I have sugar free words originals. So, Jabba the slut, you are gonna be very happy with who this is. I just got the text.
00:27:01
Speaker
That is my baby brother. Oh. That's awesome. I like his profile picture. His profile picture is pretty great.
00:27:11
Speaker
It looks just like you, babe.
00:27:17
Speaker
ah We've got a butterscotch delicious Defenders.
00:27:25
Speaker
um so there's not a whole lot more i want to go into with but to without spoiling the movie other than i i will just say so i had read a review before we went like i i tried to read a couple of people on letterbox that are people i tend to either not necessarily agree with but like their reviews and i don't remember who it was now because i read it a couple days ago but somebody said Like they didn't like it. And their problem was like, there wasn't enough story. It was just like, there was half hour of story. And then it was just nonstop action. And I read that and I was like, and you're complaining why, but I don't think that was true either. I don't think that's true, but if it was, there was it is it,
00:28:00
Speaker
that's not a bad thing. Yeah. But it's but it's wrong. It is wrong. There was more story to this than the than the original as far as like the world that they give us and how things operate and a little bit of what- Love you too, brother.
00:28:13
Speaker
Left, like led society down this collapse. Yeah, they give us a lot more than ah the original did because the original is just like, look, you live in brade Blade Runner land. Yep. Like I said, you only see the arena. This do we see fucking a whole bunch of different sets and locations. Yeah.
Conclusion and Community Engagement
00:28:31
Speaker
And that's I think my favorite part is it's just because I saw two hours and 13 minutes and I was like, I don't know, man, but it's so all over the place. I mean, he's traveling to different states.
00:28:41
Speaker
Almost different countries. Disguises. I'll tell you, I did not get fatigued at all. No. I mean, it's basement sewers, farmhouses, fucking the forest. like It's all over the place. It's great. So, but there's not, I don't think a lot more we can say without spoiling anything. Want to with final thoughts?
00:29:00
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I'm going to say it's a big recommend for me and I think it's worth seeing in the theater um because it's it's a big action movie. That's a very theatrical action movie. So it has, I think it has a place to be seen in the theater. It's not doing well, but what does these days? People don't go to movies anymore.
00:29:18
Speaker
um But I think if you've got the time and you've got a couple bucks. Go check it out in the theater. Definitely go check it out, dude. It was so good. I loved it. I agree agree with everything. I don't go to theaters nearly as much as these two guys, but this one was worth the journey. Just show up, you know, 25 minutes late because it's all fucking shitty trailers and commercials.
00:29:36
Speaker
You want to watch a fucking iPhone dressed like one of the wicked characters? I don't. Thank you. No.
00:29:42
Speaker
Dude, fuck that wicked iPhone Google Pixel commercial. Bro, it's a fucking wicked iPhone. Look at this new iPhone. It's so fucking wicked. It's wicked smart. You take smart photos and shit. It's like this fucking smartphone went to Harvard.
00:29:56
Speaker
You know, those, uh, those everybody who's listening. If you go to the theater and you, those commercials where it's like the iPhone and the Google pixel dressed as superheroes doing movie stuff, whatever, it's telling you to turn off your phone. That's what this is, except for they start to sing a song from wicked, but they're singing. They finished the song too.
00:30:12
Speaker
They sing it in those fucking so whole song auto tuned ass fucking stupid. Oh God. I was like, I hope this one ends when wicked gets out of theaters and I hope that's in two weeks. I hope it fails anyway. Yeah, the first one was not very good and we liked the play anyway. That's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about the running man.
00:30:31
Speaker
So ah Jack, you gave your thoughts, right? Yeah, absolutely. I think it's a full send Whitney. Definitely agree. it's It's three thumbs up, dude. Give that movie your money.
