Ben Richards becomes embodied by a new actor,
From Arnold to Powell, an Edgar Wright smasher.
The Running Man remake was released in 2025,
Evading the hunters, there's nowhere to hide.
Dan Killian is the studio exec played by Josh Brolin,
Found myself seated in the IMAX cinema, no eye rollin'.
I have to say that I enjoyed this sci-fi thriller,
Even if the public and critics didn't deem it a winner.

A good read of nostalgia. Remember the first and haven't seen the second so no judgement there. The old Arnold films full of action and one liners. Well done
Cheers, I enjoyed both really.
Welcome
I saw the first one, I think - with Arnie Schwarz-something was it?! Round about 1900 I think it was. well, I'm very old. lol.
Haha yes.
Erm, I don't recall a certain alien in that film. Well, he's not in every film! lol.
Shaun, this comes across as relaxed, playful, and self-aware. You acknowledge the cultural noise around the film without letting it dictate your response. That balance between fandom and independence makes the poem land cleanly. Enjoyed this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you, yes it was a good watch.
Excellent. I will be watching it, then! Thanks for the recommendation!
