This week on The First Run, it’s the show you thought would never happen (if you listened last week). Chris and Matt discuss the latest (and second film of 2025) from maestro Steven Soderbergh. This time it’s the spy-thriller ‘Black Bag’. Is good ol’ Uncle Steve spreading himself too thin, or is it another banger as the kids say? A fine James Bond fill-in while we wait…and wait… There’s the suspicious rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week! Then Matt and Chris play a round of this or that with ‘Call It!’. So power on this secret burner phones and text your top secret war plans to your favorite writer. It’s another episode of The First Run!
