    This week in The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss Evil Dead Rises 2: ‘Lee Cronin’s The Mummy’.  After a solid effort with ‘The Hole In The Ground’, followed up with ‘Evil Dead Rise’, Cronin takes on the beloved horror monster and gives it a twist.

    TFR Ep. 805: Faces Of Death (2026)

    This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt check out the new ‘Faces Of Death’!  The film that dares to ask, does watching violence beget violence? The answer: yeah, dude.  Can the refresh compete with the first viral video, banned in 46 countries no less!  Plus Chris runs down the big releases on Physical Media. 00:00-20:56: Intro/Faces of Death (2026) 20:57-27:26: Physical Media Picks 27:27-30:14: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey

    TFR Ep. 804: Alpha

    This week on The First Run, as the Super Mario Galaxy film rakes in over $372 million, Chris and Matt discuss the latest film from Julia Ducournau, ‘Alpha’!  The director of ‘Raw’ and ‘Titane’ returns with a different kind of horror.  Leaning more into metaphor and drama. But is there any hot lady on car action or cannibalism?  Chris reveals the big releases on Physical Media, and more! 00:00-12:25: Intro/Alpha 12:26-18:11: Physical Media Picks 18:12-20:58: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey

    TFR Ep. 803: Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come

    This week on The First Run, Matt and Chris count to 10 and go on the hunt for the devil...for some reason...in ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’. Then, back by popular demand for one show only(?), Chris will give you the rundown of the big releases on physical media.  00:00-18:21: Intro/Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come 18:22-23:29: Physical Media Picks 23:30-25:18: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey

    TFR Ep. 802: Project Hail Mary

    This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt are joined by Darin Lundberg of NostalgiaCast and Back To Bluey to discuss Milana Vayntrub’s latest film, ‘Project Hail Mary’, featuring Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller, and directed by Phil Lord & Chris Miller, the team behind the Spider-Verse series.  Does Ms. Vayntrub finally get the recognition she deserves as one of the planet’s pre-eminent actors, comedians, and greatest all-round human beings?  Is this gag barely amusing given the disturbing amount of online sexual harassment she’s received.  Possibly? I think so.  So let’s move on dear listener and discuss what some are describing as an heart-warming sc-fi insta-classic.   00:00-32:23: Intro/Project Hail Mary 32:24-35:17: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey
