TFR Ep. 496: Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, I Lost My Body, What Are The Odds
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, it’s all French stuff all the time. Not only do Chris and Matt discuss one of Chris’ favorite films of the past decade, but the guys are joined by The Lady Wan herself of the ScreenFix Podcast. First up, it’s ‘Portrait Of A Lady On Fire’ by writer/director Céline Sciamma. A heartbreaking and heartwarming period piece about love, loss, and longing. Will this modern classic love story have the same impact on Matt and Lady Wan that it had on Chris? Then the French kisses continue with the Oscar nominated animated film, ‘I Lost My Body’. Another stunning film of about love, life, loss, and what it takes to move on. Should ‘Toy Story 4’ have won the Oscar for best Animated Feature after all? There’s the review of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then the show closes with the return of What Are The Odds, featuring topics like; will we get back to the theaters this year? Will Edgar Wright’s films ever win an Oscar? And what’s up with that ‘Uncharted’ film. All this and more!
