Bakersfield; Ca — Actor Glen Powell and director Edgar Wright have teamed up for the latest version of Stephen King’s Running Man. The dystopian futuristic story of a man placed into a reality competition to win a billion dollars as he is being chased by public to kill him. If he survives, then he will win. Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the original 1987 film, which has a cult following. Plus, it has a tie to Bakersfield, as his character was known as the “Butcher of Bakersfield”. Does that play any role in the new movie? Well, YouTuber, movie critic and reviewer Sean Chandler from Sean Chandler Talks About joins morning anchor Aaron Perlman to discuss the movie.
They discuss that this film is not a typical Edgar Wright style of a film, the heavy messaging in it, and whether or not Glen Powell is the next action star.
You can watch Sean’s full review below, as well as the second interview Aaron has with Sean.
