TFR Ep. 492: The Invisible Man, The One-Armed Swordsman, Call It!
Episode description
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt review Leigh Wannell’s update of the classic Universal monster film, ‘The Invisible Man’. After Tom Cruise’s ‘The Mummy’ crashed and burned with no audio effects, can this reduced scope Blumhouse offering show the potential of a Dark Universe franchise? Or is the film better off being invisible? Then our Martial Arts Marathon Part 2: The Quickening continues with ‘The One-Armed Swordsman’. How far would you go to protect your clan AFTER THEY CUT OFF YOUR DAMN ARM? Here’s your big chance to find out. There’s the rundown of the all the best physical home video releases, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week! Then the show closes with the return of Call It! ‘Clerks’ or ‘Swingers’? ‘Big Trouble In Little China’ or ‘Escape From New York’? And more! Take a listen to see what choices are made and shoot us your thoughts at [email protected].
