One Man's Musings on The Works of Stephen King.

Each week I'll review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King in the chronological order of publication. Or what this week, I should

say the bibliography of Stephen King's alter ego, Richard Bachman. Today, I'm going to examine

1987's Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, The Running Man. Classic? I mean, does it really constitute

being labeled a classic? I mean,

here's the thing about the Running Man. It's not a good movie. It's a great movie. And it's

As you know, from earlier episodes,

was definitely the highest that I've had

so I just want to thank everyone for that.

So here is a listener email from Jerry.
