TFR Ep. 604: The Northman, The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, TFR Libs
Chris Scalzo
This week on the First Run, Chris and Matt go on a raid with Robert Eggers’ highly anticipated Viking revenge Hamlet (but not really) homage ‘The Northman’. After finding success with ‘The Witch’ and ‘The Lighthouse’, can Eggers’ streak of great films that begin with indefinite articles continue? Then we kick off our CageFest marathon with the meta action comedy, ‘Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’. With the critical acclaim for his last project, ‘Pig’, does Cage capture the magic again? We’ll give a breakdown of this week’s Physical Media releases and as well as the Straight-To-DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Matt and Chriss then wrap up the show with their patented fill in the blank game, TFR Libs. This week featuring The Expendable, The Batman, and more! So grab you axe, show up at a birthday party for a gun-runner and let’s get ready to party!
