1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Great the flick when Ben ashe Hi, Ben, morning band.

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Good Bring guys, We're going to talk about The Running

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: Man today And I don't know who's idea it was,

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: are you running? They get me to I'm literally the

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: running Man, literally the Running Man. And just like the

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: movie itself, I would recommend like going in with low expectations,

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: like people seeing me around the street at the moment,

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: who maybe think is that Glenn Powell has expectations because

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: you'll realize pretty quickly that it's not so. The film

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: stars Glenn Powell. It's a reboot of the nineteen eighty

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: seven kind of cult classic starring Arnie Arnold Schwarzenegger. It

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: probably wasn't really that amazing, but it was a very

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: fun film for the eighties and they're rebooting it now

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: with British director Oh Gosh Edgar Wright, who is the

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: guy who gave us Sean of the Dead and Baby Driver.

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: He's famous for this very kinetic, fun style, but in

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: this film, honestly, it feels like it's kind of been

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: done by committee by the studio. It's watered down a

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: lot of the things that make Edgar Writs films very special,

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: and Glenn Powell, who I think is fantastic. I'm not

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure that he's really, like, totally at

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: the leading man level yet. And so some of this film,

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: some of this film feels like the tone is a

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: bit all over the place. Sometimes it's like serious action,

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: sometimes it's sort of slapstick. And it tells the story

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: of this guy in a sort of a post apocalyptic

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: near future America who has to take part in a

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: dangerous game show like running around the neighborhood while you're

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: trying to do it, Ben Radio, Ben, Benn, I know you.

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: I think you really want me to play the playout music,

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: but I think you've got some more in you. Come on.

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: This is not a remake of what I thought it

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: was a remaker. I think I was getting it confused

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: with marathon. Manh I see what I'm very declined to

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: not marathon me a marathon in me? Come on? Keep going?

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Is it any good? It's fun, It's not amazing. I

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: think I think some of it doesn't make a lot

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: of sense. The problem, the biggest problem is it exists

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: in a world where the Hunger Games is real, and

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: so it's so hard, it's so hard not to compare

41
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: the two, and I think and common Domingo, who's good,

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: He's no Stanley Tucci in basically basically the same role,

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: So I know a bit. So you have not only

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: gone to see this movie so I don't have to,

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: but you've gone for a run so I don't have to.

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: How many I'm going to put him out of his misery?

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: How many, splinty you're giving it? Oh? Three? Three? So

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: it's a good time. I'm stubbing. Okay, so it's a

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: good time wasting movie, right, but nothing too deep? Ye,

50
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: you want to tread Miller on the street that the

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: three of the three. I was doing some very strange Look. Well,

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: when I answered the phone and you were here in

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: the studio, I thought maybe you were running late and

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: running here. Ben, you are such a method reviewer. Thank you,

55
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: and thank you. We shall we shall speak to you

56
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,600

57
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,760
