Can Glen Powell really headline a remake of an Arnold Schwarzenegger cult classic? The Running Man (2025) says “hell yes.” Jim and A.Ron talk updated themes, tightened storytelling, and an action style that turns Powell into a legitimate contender for the Bald Move Badass Rankings.

What’s a better combination than Nicolas Cage and a Lovecraftian setting?

We’re rereleasing Bald Move’s coverage of The Martian (2015) in honor of the film’s 10th anniversary! Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott’s “The Martian” last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it.
