Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt get dragged into battle one more time, again. Sylvester Stallone returns as John Rambo in ‘Rambo: Last Blood’. One final ride on the Rambo rollercoaster. It’s been an interesting journey over these past 37(!) years. Starting off as a raw, action film with drama and meaning, John Rambo has gotten more and more ridiculous. Does ‘Rambo: Last Blood’ bring the series full circle in its final chapter? Then the streaming service Shudder landed one of the more coveted horror films of the year, ‘Tigers Are Not Afraid’. The Mexican horror film has been receiving high praise with scares, heart, and a message. Is it, as the kids say, “all that”? There’s the regularly mildly interesting releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. Apropos of nothing, we wrap the show with our 5 Favorite Modern Films featuring 80’s Action Stars.
