As there are so many great releases this month, we’re doubling up for one powerhouse meetup. We can't watch them all but we've selected The Running Man and Predator: Badlands. We'll aim to start Predator discussion at 11am and do The Running Man around 12pm, in case you don't get around to watching both.
These films are about the ultimate game of survival, where the hunted fight back. From jungle warfare to dystopian arenas, let's discuss how each movie pushes the limits of endurance, technology, and the thrill of the chase!
With a new version of The Running Man racing toward release, join us for a high-energy discussion that connects the cult 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic with the fresh vision of director Edgar Wright.
We’ll explore:
- The original Running Man - its 80s dystopian flair, satire, and unforgettable one-liners
- How Wright’s style (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho) reshapes the story for a new generation
- Themes of media control, spectacle, and rebellion that feel just as relevant today
- Wright’s signature use of music, editing, and humor - and his take on the source material
Whether you love classic action, sci-fi social commentary, or Edgar Wright’s kinetic filmmaking, grab a brew and join the conversation.
Vibe: Fast-paced, futuristic, and full of sharp cinematic insight.
Meet at The Coffee Press at 11am.
Perks: 20% off food & drinks for all Meetup attendees.
Plenty of free parking available outside Paseo Verde library.
