Description

Ali looks forward to the upcoming release of Edgar Wright's adaptation of Stephen King's 1982 novel, 'The Running Man'. How will this film compare to its Schwarzenegger-starring, very 80s counterpart? What might Wright's movie have to say about Jeremy Kyle and Jerry Springer? And, will Wright say faithful to King's brilliant (very intestine-y!) ending? Tune in to hear Ali's thoughts.

11th episode of 'Talking Pictures'.
