This week on The Popcorn Hour, Matt and James dive into The Running Man (2025), the newest reimagining of the classic dystopian action story. They break down how the film updates the original premise for a modern audience, what works about its new tone and worldbuilding, and how the performances stack up against the iconic 1987 version. From the action sequences to the social commentary, the guys explore whether this remake brings enough fresh energy to justify its return or if it struggles to outrun the legacy of the original. Whether you love remakes, dystopian thrillers, or just great sci-fi discussions, this is a fun deep dive into one of the year’s most talked-about releases.
