Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins recap a loaded go-home edition of AEW Dynamite — 8 matches, but not a lot of build for Forbidden Door — and then preview Sunday's PPV. The show ended with a wild brawl between Team MJF and Team Briscoe, capped off by Mark Briscoe hitting the Jay Driller on MJF after a miscommunication with Andrade. Also on the show: Konosuke Takeshita defended the AEW International Championship against Ricochet, Queen Aminata and Harley Cameron punched their tickets into next week's Survival of the Fittest TBS title match, Zack Sabre Jr. picked up a win over Jack Perry ahead of his match with Kenny Omega on Sunday, and the Death Riders opened the show with four straight matches.Fight Game Media: https://www.fightgamemedia.comFight Game Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FightGameMediaFight Game Media on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4IpirI4FyHQA3BRMhwei5X?si=24304a735a124815Fight Game Media on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fight-game-media-network/id1594255707Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Running Man (1987) has one of the most fight-game-stacked casts in Hollywood history, and most people don't even realize it. On this episode of Popcorn & Piledrivers, we break down every connection — Jesse "The Body" Ventura as the retired Stalker champion, Professor Toru Tanaka as the hockey-armored Subzero, Jim Brown (NFL Hall of Famer and the voice of UFC 1) as Fireball, Kurt Fuller two years before No Holds Barred, and Erland van Lidth — an actual NCAA heavyweight wrestling runner-up and Olympic alternate — as the opera-singing Dynamo.We also cover the chaotic production history (three directors, Christopher Reeve was nearly the star), how dramatically the film differs from Stephen King's original novel and why King refused to let his name appear on the poster, how Edgar Wright's 2025 remake starring Glen Powell compares to both, and which current wrestling stars belong in a modern version of this film.Find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FightGameMediaApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1594255707Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4IpirI4FyHQA3BRMhwei5XInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightgamemediaX / Twitter: https://twitter.com/fightgamemediafightgamemedia.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
