TFR Ep. 755: Freaky Tales, Death Of A Unicorn, 5 Favorite Val Kilmer Performances
Episode description
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt engage with (or is it test) their love of anthology films with Ryan Fleck’s and Anna Boden’s ‘Freaky Tales’. A set of tall, kinda’ true tales set in Oakland in 1987. Do the creative team behind ‘Half Nelson’ and ‘Captain Marvel’ spin an engaging, winding, and ultimately cohesive tale? Chris explains why ‘Death Of A Unicorn’ was booted. And there’s the magical rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Viper Video Picks of the Week! Matt and Chris then close out the proceedings with a loving homage to Val Kilmer as they discuss their favorite Val performances. RIP Iceman.
