The Running Man (1987) | Retro Boys Reviews | Tairimo Boys Podcast

In this episode, the Tairimo Boys step into the brutal, neon-soaked future of The Running Man (1987), the high-octane sci-fi action classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Set in a dystopian society where televised death matches are prime-time entertainment, the film pits wrongfully convicted “runners” against colorful, over-the-top stalkers in a fight for survival. We break down the outrageous action, one-liners, political satire, and how wildly different the movie is from Stephen King’s original novel. From unforgettable villains to pure ’80s excess, we ask whether The Running Man still hits hard or if it’s a relic of its era. It’s violent, cheesy, and unapologetically fun — let the games begin.
