Run: Last News

We’re just hearing that the Scott Graham-directed Run, a movie feature steeped in the mythos of Bruce Springsteen songs about growing up and growing old in the same small town, is set to debut on digital and DVD at the end of May.

We're all looking for a little distraction amidst the anxiety due to being confined to our homes! While we'd love to get out of our abodes and live a little, it's a safety precaution that's become a necessity to stay away from the coronavirus scare. To take our minds of the pandemic, there's the option of binge-watching old and new series that are available to us on various platforms. Amongst the new shows that have caught our eyes is HBO's Run, a romantic comedy starring Merritt Weaver and Domhnall Gleeson as the leads.

For as long as there have been romantic comedies, there have been erstwhile lovers making convoluted bets and flirty deals with so little basis in reality that they might as well be science fiction. When was the last time you heard a real person use the phrase “If neither of us are married by 40, we’ll marry each other,” despite hearing characters say as much over and over again in movies and TV shows? It’s the kind of gamble that fictional stories love to make by turning feelings that are far more likely in the real world to remain sexy subtext into blunt text, flat-out daring its characters not to fall in love with each other. (Completely unsurprising spoiler alert: They always fall in love with each other.)
