TFR Ep. 547: Nobody, Spirited Away, 5 Against Type Action Stars In Need Of A Film
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt channel their inner John Wick’s via Mr. Show with Bob Odenkirk as ‘Nobody’, a retired government super bad ass. What happens when some steals his little girl’s kitty cat bracelet? Or perhaps when he runs afoul of the Russian mob? Carnage my friends. Carnage. Then the Studio Ghibli Marathon begins with ‘Spirited Away’. The story of ten-year-old Chihiro adventure as she attempts to save her parents and escape a not-quite-so abandoned village and all the spirits that inhabit it. There’s the stupefyingly wonderful review of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week! Then the show wraps with a segment in honor of Mr. Odenkirk as Matt and Chris attempt to name 5 other movie stars that could play against type and helm an action movie. We’re looking at you Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
