TFR Ep. 266: Whiplash, 5 Best Films Of 1987
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, we’re still ticking off the great films of 2014. It’s Oscar winner J.K. Simmons in ‘Whiplash’, a story of music and punishment. What would you do, nay, what would you endure, to be the best? And is the film as good as Simmons’ performance? Then it’s a discussion of the big releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring Dave’s Streaming Pick Of The Week and News With Matty! That should be enough, but there’s more! Chris, Dave, and Matt review the Best Films Of 1987. It’s a heated debate as to where ‘Robocop’ should be in a Top 5 list. (I must confess the show stumbles out of the gate. Stick with us, or just jump to the second half when the going gets good!)
