Double Bill ChillThe Running Man (Movie History, Plot Breakdown, & Pairings)This week marks our first foray into Stephen King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman, with "The Running Man."

Symbolically, if not practically, defence spending and overseas aid are seen to be in competition since they are both projections of global Britain. If so, how can we assess their competing moral...2020-11-2642 min
