Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt catch up with yet another ode to old Hollywood with Damian Chazelle’s ‘Babylon’. Is this an inspired addition to a tired sub-genre or is it the latest masturbatory entry of film makers telling us how great and important their craft is? We’ll let you definitively. Speaking of how oh so important filmmakers are, Matt and Chris finally check Rian Johnson’s latest, ‘Glass Onion’. Benoit Blanc returns to solve another star-studded murder! There’s the riveting rundown of the big Physical Media releases, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. And then Chris and Matt close it all out by telling you what films they are excited for, and by extension what you should be excited for, in 2023. It’s a biggin’ folks!
