About this listen

Edgar Wright takes a big swing with The Running Man — a frantic, stylish reimagining loaded with spectacle, satire, and one of Glen Powell’s most magnetic performances yet. It doesn’t stick every landing, but the ride getting there? An absolute blast.


In this episode of After the Frame, we break down what worked and what didn’t: Wright’s hyper-kinetic direction, the action-comedy rhythm, the world-building, and the way the third act hits a few bumps on the way out. We dig into why the movie still succeeds despite its stumbles and why Powell feels like a full-blown movie star in this role.


Join us as we unpack a remake that actually feels fresh — fast on its feet, fun as hell, and just messy enough to keep the conversation interesting.
