TFR Ep. 487: The Gentlemen, 6 Underground, What Are The Odds
Chris Scalzo
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss Guy Ritchie’s return to British crime thrillers with ‘The Gentlemen’. Matthew McConaughey joins Ritchie’s rogues gallery along with Hugh Grant, but there’s no Statham in sight! Is this a return to form for Ritchie? Speaking of directors coming back to their comfort zones, Michael Bay returns with ‘6 Underground’. Bay enlists Planet Earth’s most charming human, Ryan Reynolds AND his gin to tell the story of a billionaire philanthropist whose philanthropy is all about blowing stuff up. Then it’s the review of the big releases on home video this week, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. The show closes with the return of ‘What Are the Odds’ as Matt and Chris figure out how likely is the upcoming Dune to be a success, will Lulu Wang direct an MCU film, and more!
