My thesis on @edgarwright.bsky.social Running Man is that there are two stories being shown here and at points we're being shown the edited free-vee version of Ben Richards' story.

I think this switch happens during or after the Michael Cera scenes but I'll be payer closer attention next viewing.

It was fun chatting with Kyle about Easy Digging and The Running Man. I think @edgarwright.bsky.social takes on a very interesting challenge with this film and tells this story in a really strange way that might be a lot to take in on the first viewing. I look forward to watching it again.

11 Talk Talk Spirit of Eden

I'll just never forget the experience of taking this album to the test turntable at RC and hearing that blazing harmonica arrive in the opening track. It's rare that artists challenge themselves the way Talk Talk did. Surely must have pissed off ther label.
