TFR EP. 532: Sound Of Metal, Pink Flamingos, TFR Lounge
Episode description
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt rock out with their podcast out as they discuss Riz Ahmed and his turn in ‘Sound Of Metal’. This Amazon Prime original about a drummer quickly losing his hearing and possibly having to give up the life he loves is getting a lot of buzz on the interwebs, but is the film truly Oscar worthy? Then the banned marathon continues with John Waters’ debut film, ‘Pink Flamingos’. Just when you thought it was safe to watch someone eat a little bit of dog poo. Clearly, that’s infamous moment is as “filthy” as the film gets, right?!? Please?!? There’s the sparklingly clean rundown of the all the big releases on physical media, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then the show wraps with the return of The Lounge where Matt and Chris discuss all the new Disney+ news, Tom Cruise’s Covid rant, ‘Wonder Woman 1984’, and more. “We are the gold standard!”, so go ahead and give it a listen.
