This week on The First Run, does Matt finally quite the show after I make him watch a Japanese drama about a guy getting chauffeured around for 3 hours? That’s right, it’s the highly regarding Best International Feature front runner from Japan, ‘Drive My Car’. Heartache, grief, plays, and road trips! Sounds like a blast. Then Matt and Chris dip their toe in the 2022 Sundance Film Festival pool with Riley Stearns’ ‘Dual’ and Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead’s ‘Something In The Dirt’. There’s the remarkable rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. The show then closes as Chris and Matt share their 5 Favorite Doppelgänger Films, featuring the tethered, snatched bodies, and some good old-fashioned obsession.
