Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly home for film reviews, movie news, and unscripted banter. In Episode 583, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi return with three eclectic films — a genre classic, a melancholic sci-fi indie, and a striking festival discovery.
   |
🎯 The Running Man
The team revisits this 1987 sci-fi action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, based on a novel by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman). With dystopian satire, over-the-top set pieces, and prophetic media commentary, this one sparks discussion about tone, influence, and whether it’s aged like fine cheese or fine wine.
🕰 Eternity
A meditative sci-fi indie that blends time travel with grief, memory, and philosophical introspection. The group discusses structure, pacing, and how smaller films use sci-fi not for spectacle but to explore human emotion and existential questions.
🎥 Jay Kelly
A Tribeca 2024 entry featuring a breakout performance and a quietly bold visual style. The hosts examine what makes this intimate drama stand out, especially among recent indie debuts, and how character and form can create lasting impact.
