TFR Ep. 436: Lego Movie 2, Velvet Buzzsaw, 5 Best Cursed Objects
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Matt and Chris return to the land of LEGOs with ‘Lego Land 2: The Second Part. The whole cast returns and are joined by Tiffany Hadish and Maya Rudolph on an all new adventure for Emmett, Wyldstyle, Batman and the rest of the crew. This time we travel to another galaxy/younger sister’s room to grow and learn together. And hopefully laugh along the way. But with 4 films in 5 years, are we LEGO’d out? Then it’s Dan Gilroy’s satirical horror film, ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Toni Collette and John Malkovich (sort of). Set in the pretentious L.A. art world, we finally answer the question as to what would happen if a bad person expels his personal inner demons into his art, dies, and an unscrupulous patron gets a hold of the works, then they become a big hit, but the art is cursed and stuff happens. Bad stuff. There’s the always-thrilling review of the big releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then the show wraps as Chris and Matt share their favorite Movie Cursed Objects. Now if only Micki and Ryan were still around at Curious Goods…
