Touch on a few news pieces at the top before reviewing "In Order Of Disappearance" and "Godzilla: King Of The Monsters". Then joined by Michael Phillips to talk about "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu" and various video games we'd like to be made into movies. We close it out with a trailer roundup. Apologies for the the non-ideal audio during the interview and intermittent. A trail run to be improved going forward.
This week on The First Run, we're joined by Bryce Hanson and David Day of Horror Movie Talk, a weekly horror movie podcast out of Vancouver WA. They feature current theatrical releases as well as classic (and not so classic) horror films. You can check them out at horrormovietalk.com and listen on all the places. It's going to be a serial thrilla' as we wade through the mindfields that are this week's big releases. We'll only be able to get through it all with diesel power but it promises to be some funky S. First up, we fuel our fire by discussing ‘The Prodigy'. Taylor Schilling stars as a mother struggling to help her son who may be possessed by…something. How far will she go to save him? As we climbatize to the end of the show, never forgetting to breathe, we move on to the remake of the Norwegian film ‘IN Order Of Disappearance, ‘Cold Pursuit'. Liam Neeson stars an aggrieved father out for revenge against the drug gang that murdered his son, smacking bitches up left and right (man, that's a troublesome song title). And it's funny! There's an interminably long rundown of the big releases on Blu-Ray and DVD, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then the show wraps with our 2019 Oscars Predictions! Can Chris regain his crown?It's a firestarter of a show this week!.

Come with us, across the Atlantic and into the Great White North, as the boys in the Nighthawks Diner explore the Norwegian black comedy IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE. Equal parts FARGO-era Coen Bros. and Scandinavian Noir (Nordic Noir... "Noirdic?"), this little movie has a lot going on for it. A favorite of festival audiences, IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE seems to have fallen between the cracks with mainstream audiences in the U.S. Why is this? Is it the cultural differences? Is it the subtitles? Is it the relative age of the characters? Matt and Trevor take a superficial glance at IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE, in the hopes that our listeners will give it a chance and check it out. If you've already seen the film, take a peek behind the spoiler curtain and get granular with us.
We discuss Rouge One with Spoilers and curse out 2016 for the loss of Carrie Fisher. Also, In Order of Disappearance, Big Thinking, Mailbag, and more!
We return from our podcasting disappearance with an episode on the Norwegian black comedy action film IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE. Stellan Skarsgard plays a grieving father out to get the men responsible for his son's death, playing it in a very different way than Tom Wilkinson IN THE BEDROOM from 2001, and of course differently from Jack Nicholson in the 1995 film THE CROSSING GUARD. All of this and our prediction for the remake of IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE starring Liam Neeson (that is not a joke).
Bill Nighy talks to Simon about his new film Pride. Plus the Box Office Top 10 and Mark's reviews of the week's new releases including A Most Wanted Man, The Boxtrolls and In Order Of Disappearance.
