TFR Ep. 607: Firestarter, Vengeance: A Love Story, 5 Favorite Stephen King Scares

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss the latest Stephen King adaptation, scratch that, the latest adaptation remake. The film sparking our interest this time is ‘Firestarter’. We’ve long been supporters of remaking bad films, and John Lester’s original is far from a classic. So does ‘Firestarter’ light us up? Then CageFest continues with ‘Vengeance: A Love Story’. Nic Cage is a cop on the edge, who crosses the line when of punks get off. Sounds awesome. So is it? There’s the rambunctious rundown of the big releases Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week! Then Matt and Chris close out the show by sharing their 5 Favorite Stephen King Movie Scares! Haunted cars, rabid dogs, and demonic clowns. Will The Dark Tower make the list? More like Dork Tower. It's The First Run!
