Dan and Ana are introduced by the Space the Nation dancers! This adaptation of Stephen King/Richard Bachman's dark satire strips away a lot of the dark and struggles a bit with the satire, but we were both charmed by the very 80s vision of 2017. Violent, repressive state officials patrolling the streets in black uniforms and masks, you say? A game show host as the ultimate power in the United States? Lol, haha. There is IR in this movie.&nbsp; (Audio fixed!)<hr> Hosted on Acast.

THE RUNNING MAN (BOOK)

On Space the Nation, we take our love of science fiction (and fantasy and horror) and smash it together with our professional passions: international relations (as brought to the table by Tufts University professor and Washington Post columnist Dan Drezner) and cultural criticism (as brought to the table by political columnist Ana Marie Cox). It's a highly informed but hilarious conversation that starts with an examination of a particular text (everything from Ursula K. LeGuin to the MCU, Star Trek to Colson Whitehead) and veers into current events, mental health practices and imagined conversations between Ted Cruz and the Predator. For people who like white papers and graphic novels, Chapo Trap House and what Political Science Twitter used to be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
