About this listen

In this episode of The Art of Story in Film Podcast, hosts Dylan Bloyed and Lola Rain revisit The Running Man, a dystopian film that blends action with media satire.
They explore how the movie uses game-show spectacle, exaggerated villains, and public manipulation to comment on power, propaganda, and entertainment as control.
This episode focuses on narrative structure, tone, and why The Running Man remains relevant in conversations about media, violence, and audience complicity.
