TFR Ep. 494: Color Out Of Space, Crippled Avengers, Streaming Picks
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, as the theaters shudder their doors and quarantine sets in, Chris and Matt embrace the streaming world with Richard Stanley’s ‘Color Out Of Space’. Nicholas Cage stars as a man desperately trying to keep his family together, and alive, as an interdimensional wave of color and light arrives to do…something. Then the Martial Arts Marathon rolls on with ‘Crippled Avengers’, the pseudo-sequel to ‘The Five Deadly Venoms’. This time, 5 heroes are maimed in different ways by an evil master of the Tiger style of kung fu, so they team up to compensate for their impairments, and perhaps learn a little something along the way. There’s the always enrapturing rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then the show closes with Matt & Chris sharing a movie for you to watch while we all practice our social distancing from the Horror, Sci-fi, Drama, Romance, Action, and Comedy genres. Plus a few bonus picks. SO grab that hazmat suit and start defrosting those Eggos. It’s another episode of The First Run.
