This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt head back to the 80's and the glorious cartoons that served as nothing more than glorified toy advertisements with an all new version of ‘Masters of the Universe’! Chris haphazardly inserts the discussion of the 1987 ‘Masters Of The Universe’ film originally discussed 2016 as part of their 80’s Nostalgia Marathon. As a treat. Then closes out the show by breaking down the stuff you have to have in order to feel fulfilled with the Physical Media Releases for the week! Good journey fair listeners!

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt see if Disney can get Star Wars back up off the mat with ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’—where the cuteness meter, the “is that really Pedro Pascal?” question, and at least one eyebrow-raising cameo all come into play. Then they hop over to Disney+ for ‘Punisher: One Last Kill’, with Jon Bernthal bringing the rage, the trauma, and a body count that suggests OSHA should get involved. After that, Chris does what he does best: hurts Matt’s bank account with the latest physical media temptations, including a fresh batch of SteelBooks and a couple of Criterion classics.
