TFR Ep. 721: Cuckoo, Call It!

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt dive headfirst into the cinematic wonderland of the latest releases—so you don’t have to! This week, they’re cracking open the latest in arthouse horror from Neon, ‘Cuckoo’! Is ‘Cuckoo’ a mind-bending masterpiece or just a confusing cluck-fest? Are they the crazy ones for watching it—or are you for listening to them chirp about it? Join the guys as they try to untangle this twisted tale, armed with nothing but popcorn and questionable bird puns. As always, they run down the big releases on Physical Media, where they tell you which shiny discs are worth adding to your nest egg. Then, they've got the Viper Video Pick of the Week, where they dig deep into the video store archives to find a hidden "gem" and the Streaming Pick of the Week for those of you who don't like to stretch your wings by ever leaving the house. And of course, they can’t wrap things up without a round of Call It!, the game where the boys make impossible movie choices and regret them immediately. Probably. The First Run —because someone’s gotta do it first, and it might as well be us.
