TFR Ep. 608: Men, Jiu-Jitsu, CageFest Awards
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt get into a philosophical discussion about Men. Specifically Alex Garland’s latest, ‘Men’. #NotAllMen, but maybe #MostMen? After the successes of ‘Ex Machina’ and ‘Annihilation’ (and the rumored ghost directing of ‘Dredd’), Garland returns with a horror film about toxic bro’s, bro. And so much more. Too much more? Then CageFest wraps with ‘Jiu-Jitsu’ featuring a bunch of people picking up some extra shifts and a drop-in by the man himself. There’s the stylin’ rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. Then Matt and Chris close out the show with the traditional marathon awards ceremony. Time to break down the best and worst of CageFest!
