TFR Ep. 514: Palm Springs, Big Man Japan, International Sci-Fi Marathon Awards
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt decide to take it easy and watch the latest time loop comedy, ‘Palm Springs’. If any genre of comedy is in danger of repeating itself… Is ‘Palm Springs’ able to provide a fresh take, or are we stuck with the same repetitive jokes? Then the International Sci-Fi Marathon wraps with the Japanese import, ‘Big Man Japan’. With the most unsettling kaiju we’ve seen, does this mockumentary deliver the thrills and the laughs? The show rolls on with the big releases on physical media featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Closing all of this sweet, sweet content out is the International Sci-Fi Marathon Awards! Which film featured the best performances? Which was the best film? And in which film’s world would you want to reside? So fun!
