TFR Ep. 423: Suspiria(s), Bohemian Rhapsody, Call It!
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Matt and Chris enroll in everyone’s favorite German dance academy and experience the horror of ‘Suspiria’! A remake long in the making, with calls decrying the idea itself. So how does the new version stack up? Not just to Argento’s original, but as a stand-alone piece? And how does Argento’s original hold up too? Then the potential blasphemy continues with the Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. How can any film, especially a potentially sanitized one, possible do justice the greatest front man of all time? There’s the rundown of the big releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. And the show wraps with the return of everyone’s favorite pick’em segment, Call It , with a special twist in honor of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. I feel a little boogie coming on, what do you think?
