EP. 352.1 — Matinee Monday: The Running Man (w/ Kulap Vilaysack)

Kulap Vilaysack (Add to Cart) joins Paul, June, and Jason to break down the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi movie The Running Man, which according to Jason was “the original Hungy Games.” They discuss the dance tribute to the fallen combatants, Captain Freedom’s workout commercial, the worst pun Arnold’s ever uttered, and how we’re living in the Running Man today. Plus, everyone has an important discussion about Lactaid. (Originally Released 05/26/2017)
