Episode 5: Youth In Revolt, Daybreakers, (500) Days of Summer, Blu-Ray Picks, Inventory of the Best of 2009: 5-1

Episode 5 of The First Run allows us to engage in some good old fashioned subversion.  First we spend some time with Michael Cera's id, Francois in 'Youth In Revolt'.  Scalzo feverishly takes some notes.  Next we double our pleasure with a viewing of 'Daybreakers' as Espo deconstructs the vampire mythos and let's us know what they did right, and if there are any areas for improvement.  We then review our Blu-Ray picks for January 19th.  Next up, during our discussion of (500) Days of Summer, Matt asks Scalzo just how much influence he had on the production.  Finally we reveal our 5-1 picks for our Inventory of the best films of 2009.  We're on quite a roll!  So give us a listen, satisfaction guaranteed!
