Yumper and Cotton return for another deep-dive edition of Frame for Frame, this time tackling one of the wildest dystopian action films ever made: The Running Man. We compare the original 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic to the brand-new 2025 remake starring Glenn Powell, exploring how the story, tone, worldbuilding, and characters have evolved across nearly four decades.
We break down the biggest differences, what the remake improves (or doesn’t), how modern action filmmaking stacks up against ’80s excess, and whether the new version captures the chaotic energy that made the original a cult favorite.
The episode also covers upcoming sequels, remakes, and reboots, including the ones we’re excited for and the ones we think Hollywood should leave in the vault. If you love film talk, revisiting classics, and debating new interpretations, this is the episode for you.

🎙️ Yumper and Cotton are BACK with another episode of Frame to Frame — and this time, it’s a full-on horror showdown.
We’re diving into The Fly (1958) vs The Fly (1986) — two films built on the same terrifying concept, but executed in completely different ways.
One is a classic, slow-burn sci-fi horror with that vintage ‘50s charm…
The other is a grotesque, emotional, body horror masterpiece that still makes people squirm.
In this episode, we break down:
🪰 Classic vs modern horror storytelling
🪰 Practical effects evolution and nightmare fuel
🪰 Performances, themes, and what hits harder today
🪰 What holds up — and what doesn’t
🪰 And which version truly earns the title of THE definitive Fly

Is Cronenberg’s version the ultimate transformation horror?
And which one sticks with you long after the credits roll?
Tap in, and let us know — which Fly are you riding with?
