TFR Ep. 696: Madame Web, Riki Oh: The Story Of Ricky, Who Dat?!?

This week on The First Run, ‘Madame Web’ breaks a Sony/MCU record.  But not one of the good ones.  Could the critics be wrong and just simply unable to appreciate a fun action film? Or is it just another example of ‘go woke, go broke’?!?  Can Dakota Johnson finally cross the Tatum Line for Chris?  Then, as a potential welcome respite, Matt and Chris partake in some fine, elegant filmmaking with ‘Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricki’.  After a decade of Chris trying to catch up with the Chinese Martial Arts Splatter-fest.  Was it worth the wait?  There’s head-crushing review of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week.  Chris and Matt then close out the show with a dreamy round of everyone’s favorite role-playing game, ‘Who Dat’. So buckle up, become one with the web of life, and settle in for another spine-tingling episode of The First Run.
