TFR Ep. 698: Dune Part II, Lisa Frankenstein, 2024 Oscars Predictions
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt saddle up a grand poppa Sandworm and ride into Dune-iverse with Dune Part 2. While it’s Christmas morning for Matt, after Part 1, Chris felt like he needed to see Part 2 in order to get the whole experience. Whelp, swing and a miss on that one. As we’re clearly in the middle of a larger story, how does Dune Part 2 measure up against the great second films in sci-fi cinematic history? Or should Chris cut the spice intake and chill a bit. Then it’s on to the comedy/horror mash up, ‘Lisa Frankenstein’. Does Zelda Williams’ directorial debut spark to life? There’s spice-y rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. Then Matt and Chris help you fill out your Oscars bracket with their picks that will win and which picks deserve to win. So fire up your 5 layer bean dip as you prep your Oscars Party. It’s The First Run!
