About this episode
In this milestone episode, the hosts discuss their disappointment with the recent film adaptation of 'The Running Man' based on Stephen King's novella.
**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS** Welcome to episode 150 of Film is Lit! What a milestone! Did ANYONE like the "Running Man" movie that came out last year based on Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King)'s 1892 novella...? Anyone...? Bueller...? We hate to jump on the bandwagon, but this wasn't one of our favs. All we can say is it's worth tuning in! #StephenKing #TheRunningMan #BooktoFilm #Movies #GlenPowell #LeePace #FilmAdaptation #EdgarWrite #MovieReview
