Horror Madness Bracket

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt stretch, flame on, and go full clobberin’ time as we dive into the story of Marvel’s first family in ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’. From cosmic rays to family bonds that would make Dom Toretto proud, they see if this entry is a breath of fresh air in the MCU. Or if it can make Chris care about the FF. There's the big release on physical media, the Viper Video and streaming picks of the week.Then they wrap it all up with a lengthy discussion on the 2020's for the final qualifier bracket of Horror Madness, which is weird since the decade is only half over.

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt are joined by TFR theme composer Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey to discuss James Gunn’s big swing with ‘Superman’. After the failed Snyder-verse, Warner Bros. attempts a lighter not so dour reboot for the DC Cinematic Universe. Does Gunn pull it off and deliver a rollicking adventure filled reset? Do Gunn at least ‘get’ Superman? And most importantly, is Chris happy? Then there’s the periwinkle-esque Kryponite (that is a real thing) that is the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Viper Video Picks of the Week. Then the Justice Gang continues Horror Madness with films from 2010-2019!
