The Running Man was perfectly fine. Didn't work for me. It was too flabby, bit all over the place character wise as well as a bit too on the nose. Yeah we get it health care in the US sucks, but we have cameras that can float in the air.

Predator Badlands is tight, internally consistent - with plenty of payoffs but the central premise is marmite. If you like it you'll have a great time. If you immediately say "this is not my predator" then you won't. I'm not a fan boy so it didn't bother me in the slightest - I had a blast.

Y'all are really pushing all of the Black journalists out of the industry, so that you can ask trash questions like this?
Embarrassing.
Some questions are harmful in and of themselves. It doesn't matter what's said in the debate, or who "wins."
Pretending that this is not trash, is weakness.
