TFR Ep. 505: Capone, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, 80’s Sex Comedy Marathon Awards
Episode description
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss Josh Trank’s Capone. Tom Hardy plays the infamous gangster in the final year of his life. Trank has a well-received debut with the found-footage super-hero thriller ‘Chronicle’. Then his Fantastic Four reboot ran into production issues, studio interference, and ultimately poor performance and reception. ‘Capone’ is Trank’s first film since that debacle. With total creative control, are we finally able to enjoy his true cinematic vision? Then our 80’s Sex Comedy Marathon mercifully comes to a close with ‘Fast Times At Ridgemont High’. A film that forever shaped Chris’ aesthetic taste in partners. You’ll learn what you should be picking up this week in physical media releases, including the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then the show wraps with Matt and Chris ruminating over the destruction wrought by our 80’s Sex Comedy Marathon Awards and handing out any applicable awards. So light ‘em if you got ‘em johnny!
