Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Matt & Chris discuss the family adventure film, ‘The Kid Who Would Be King’. It’s the latest adaption of the King Arthur legend hits the big screen, written and directed by Joe Cornish (‘Attack The Block’). Is the film a rollicking adventure or yet another failed attempt to adapt the classic story? Then it’s on to the Netflix original, ‘Polar’, starring Mads Mikkelson as a bad ass, often naked, retired hitman who just wants to enjoy his golden years in peace. But then something goes terribly wrong with his IRA. Seriously. There’s the always enrapturing review of the big releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. The show wraps with the return of ‘What Are The Odds’! Will ‘The Favourite’ win Best Picture? How many films will Disney have in the top 10 box office grossers? And more!
