Episode Synopsis

Tonight on the GeekNights Book Club, we discuss Stephen King's Richard Bachman's The Running Man (1982). In 2025, the world's economy is in shambles, and America has become a totalitarian dystopia. The better-known Arnold movie is loosely based on it, though thematically it was spot-on. The 2025 Edgar Wright film will be much closer to the original. In the news, No Kings Day is October 18th: find the march nearest you! The next GeekNights book club book will be I Who Have Never Known Men.Related LinksForum ThreadBook Club: The Running Man (1982)Discord ChatBook Club: The Running Man (1982)Bluesky PostBook Club: The Running Man (1982)Things of the DayRym - DC Juries Refuse to Indict ProtestorsScott - The Most Important Device in the Universe
