TFR Ep. 805: Faces Of Death (2026)

TFR Ep. 809: Mortal Kombat II

This week on The First Run, Matt and Chris check out ‘Mortal Kombat II’.  The franchise reboot continues with nary a Christopher Lambert Raiden insight.  After the lackluster relaunch back in 2021, can the ill-fated franchise fight back?  We know there are going to be fatalities but are there going to be Animalities? Babalities?! FRIENDSHIPS?!? One can dream.  00:00-16:11: Intro/Mortal Kombat II 16:12-22:38: Physical Media Picks 22:39-23:53: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey [https://music.apple.com/us/album/will-to-power-single/472471941]

TFR Ep. 808: Hokum

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss Damian McCarthy’s ‘Hokum’.  It’s McCarthy’s Hollywood debut after finding indie success with ‘Caveat’ and ‘Oddity’.  Adam Scott stars in this ghost/witch//mystery/thriller that begs the question, what even is reality, man?!?  Then Chris closes out the show by sharing the big releases on Physical Media with a major announcement! 00:00-09:11: Intro/Hokum 09:12-19:20: Physical Media Picks + 19:21-22:11: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey [https://music.apple.com/us/album/will-to-power-single/472471941]

TFR Ep. 807: Over Your Dead Body

This week on the First Run, Matt and Chris check out the latest from Jorma Taccone with ‘Over Your Dead Body’, where two long time partners go to a cabin in the woods, each with plans to kill the other. They swear this isn't art imitating the lives of long running podcast hosts. Trust them.  Then there’s the rundown of big releases on Physical Media. 00:00-19:00: Intro/Over Your Dead Body 19:01-24:41: Physical Media 24:42-26:03: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey [https://music.apple.com/us/album/will-to-power-single/472471941]

Then there’s the big releases on Physical Media. All this and likely more on this week’s program. 00:00-13:19: Intro/Lee Cronin’s The Mummy 13:20-19:36: Physical Media Picks 19:37-21:59: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey [https://music.apple.com/us/album/will-to-power-single/472471941]
