See Glen run. See Glen fight. See Glen be hunted by ruthless killers and go a little crazy.

In the role that was once Arnold Schwarzenegger's back in his 1980s action-movie heyday, Glen Powell plays a desperate man looking to stay alive in a new take on "The Running Man," director Edgar Wright's adaptation of the Stephen King novel. Run, don't walk, to see that in theaters now. At home, though, be sure to stream Netflix's Eddie Murphy documentary, especially if you're a fan of his early movies and "Saturday Night Live" run. And if you're down with all things Taylor Sheridan, get psyched because the Season 2 of Billy Bob Thornton's "Landman" is upon us.

Now on to the good stuff:

See Edgar Wright take on Stephen King's dystopian world with 'The Running Man'

Glen Powell stars as a desperate man who plays the world's deadliest game show in "The Running Man," based on the Stephen King novel.

When someone asks if you want to chat with Stephen King, the answer is always yes. For "The Running Man," I had an exclusive interview with King and director Edgar Wright to talk about the newest take on the legendary author's 1982 novel. We talked about why the latest "Running Man" reminds King of "Die Hard" and how the new film compares to the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger cult sci-fi adaptation. King thinks new "Running Man" star Glen Powell is closer to the main character on the page than Arnie. Schwarzenegger "doesn't seem like an Everyman. He seems like Arnold," King says. "And Glen seems like a regular guy: You would believe him in this part."

Even if you love the original, Wright's "Running Man" is a different experience, with gonzo energy and a biting stab at reality TV and income inequality. (Read my ★★★ review.) And in addition to opening up about what action scenes were nightmares, Powell told me why his "SNL" hosting duties this weekend are a late-night dream come true.

Revisit Eddie Murphy's greatest hits with Netflix documentary 'Being Eddie'

Eddie Murphy lets out one of his signature laughs during a conversation at his home for the new Netflix documentary "Being Eddie."

The Netflix documentary "Being Eddie" lets Hollywood icon Eddie Murphy loose to tell his own truth, diving deep into his childhood and digging into his long movie and comedy career. My colleague Erin Jensen talked with Murphy about revelations from the new doc, why he pays for his friend's funerals (but doesn't attend) and the reason he also avoids awards shows. "Being in a room full of famous people who all want win some trophy, that feeling is such a s----- feeling,” he says with a laugh.

"Being Eddie" is one of several movies new to streaming services, a stacked list that also includes the Kevin James/Alan Ritchson action comedy "Playdate" and the Lindsay Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis Disney sequel "Freakier Friday."

Stream the new season of Billy Bob Thornton's 'Landman' drama

Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter star in the new season of Taylor Sheridan's Paramount+ drama "Landman."

Our resident "Yellowstone" reporter Bryan Alexander headed to Fort Worth, Texas – a really cool town, by the way – for an exclusive visit to the set of Paramount+'s "Landman." Season 2 premieres Sunday (and you can binge the whole first season now!) and the pulpy Taylor Sheridan drama stars Billy Bob Thornton as an oil industry fixer. The Oscar-winning filmmaker and actor calls the show a "phenomenon. I've been famous for like 35 years or whatever, but it's gone to another level. I didn't know there'd be another level for me."

Bryan also chatted with other Sheridan-verse types for his "Landman"-palooza. Demi Moore discusses her "juicy" new power role on the show, Sam Elliott calls being Thornton's TV dad "the greatest gift," Ainsley Randolph talks about being besties with "Landman" mother Ali Larter and "1923" mom-in-law Helen Mirren, while Larter dares the show's critics to "turn the channel, darling."

Even more goodness to check out! -

Elle Fanning explains her very peculiar double feature at the cinema these days: sci-fi flick "Predator: Badlands" and Oscar-bait French film "Sentimental Value."

"Jay Kelly" star Billy Crudup talks about connecting to the movie's theme of not waiting to live life and the missed wedding that forever changed his career perspective.

Is Jacob Elordi the hottest "Frankenstein" monster of all time? Of course, we ranked them.

As you prep for "Stranger Things" Season 5, cast members are looking back on a vintage 2016 group photo.

Being one of the best singers alive apparently isn't good enough for Adele. She's locked in her film debut for a new Tom Ford movie.

And on this week's "South Park" episode ... Donald Trump and JD Vance make love. 'Nuff said.
