The Running Man Review, Nouvelle Vague
21 november 2025 · 1 uur 51 min
Director Edgar Wright’s latest, THE RUNNING MAN, is an update of the Schwarzenegger-starring ‘87 sci-fi action film (and the ‘82 Stephen King novella).

And Michael Phillips joins Adam for a review of Richard Linklater’s Paris ‘59-set NOUVELLE VAGUE, with both agreeing that the director’s making-of-”Breathless” is “charming as hell.” Plus Massacre Theatre and more.

-Discussing Peter Hujar’s Day, Adam meant to say Peter suggests that women take better pictures “of” men not “than” men, which is why he began thinking about the significance of Linda capturing audio of Peter versus a man.
