This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt are joined by friend of the show, Sean to breakdown the DCEU’s potential soft reboot with James Gunn’s ‘The Suicide Squad’. Has the DCEU found their path forward?  Or is a hard R rated superhero film not exactly the best way to obtain mass appeal?  Then our Samurai Marathon continues with the mashup of the first two films in the classic Lone Wolf & Cub films series with ‘Shogun Assassin’.  Can this American bastardization actually churn out an entertaining martial arts thriller?  There’s the regularly astounding review of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week.  Matt, Chris, and Sean then close out the show by sharing 5 DC Comic Properties Deserving Their Own Movie.  Who makes the cut?  And can we finally get that Mister Mxyzptlk vs Bat-Mite film we’ve longed for? 00:00-24:03: Intro/The Suicide Squad24:04-38:22: Physical Media Picks & Criterion UHD38:23-51:00: Shogun Assassin51:01-1:17:47: 5 DC Characters Deserving Their Own Movie1:17:48-1:20:27: Wrap UpTheme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-BeyTwitterInstagramFacebook
