Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss the psychological thriller, ‘Shallow’. Hayley Bennett plays a young woman who feels trapped and develops pica, the overwhelming need to swallow unusual non-food items. So how do you turn that into an engrossing thriller? Should you just watch one of those weird My Strange Addiction shows instead? Then it’s on to the horror western, ‘The Wind’. Caitlin Gerard stars as a young woman who moves out West with her husband to start a new life. But there maybe something out there…waiting. There’s the always endearing rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then, our countdown to episode 500(!) begins with Matt and Chris starting the countdown of their 20 favorite films watched for the show. First up, movies 20-16. Which films makes the cut? And how many hundreds of films will Chris list off as honorable mentions?
