PARTY PLEASER:
Kathryn joins Melvin to summarize what might be 2026's punching-bag movie, The Runner, featuring Gal Gadot! The two endure against the film's confounding plot, poorly edited "action" sequences, and the continued self-inflicted humiliation of Gal Gadot.
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 20-minutes discussing The Hollywood Reporter's "‘Resident Evil’ Filmmaker Zach Cregger Reveals the Key Adjustment He Made After Test Screenings" from Brian Davids, specifically how Cregger cut-back on the jokes, and why tone is so important in horror. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Melvin & Kathryn are convinced that the majority of the film is Gal Gadot's stunt-double with Gal's face super-imposed over their body.
- Melvin tries to go into movies with a bad reputation thinking to himself, "Well, maybe it won't be as bad as people say."... but sometimes people are right.
- Is the movie confusing, or a plain mess?
- Maybe they're just "too woke", but Melvin & Kathryn agree there's a moment in the middle of The Runner that gives them the ick.
- Kathryn cuts to the chase, "I do not like this storyline."
- Talking the "Gal Gadot" problem.
- Kathryn reveals something that Melvin missed... something that bums him out!
