TFR Ep. 688: Leave The World Behind, May December, Eileen, Christmas Playlist

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt fire up the ol’ Netflix engine to discuss a pair of…interesting films. First up, the Obama’s produced ‘Leave The World Behind’. Sam Esmail’s adaptation of the book brings together a great cast as they deal with something kind of potentially cataclysmic event. Or not? Maybe? Then it’s on to Todd Haynes’ latest, ‘May December’, featuring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore. Portman is an actress spending time with Moore as she’s set to portray her in a tv movie and hijinks ensue. There’s the holly AND jolly rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. Then Matt and Chris share their perfect Christmas playlists, just for you!
