    This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss the meta sexy(?) horror film from Jane Schoenbrun, ‘Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma’. After the initially confounding, surreal, and heartbreakingly earnest ‘I Saw There TV Glow’, Schoenbrun returns with a loving homage to the 70’s and 80’s slashers, and herself. Chris then closes out the proceedings with the big releases on Physical Media. So keep an eye out for the air duct wearing killers and enjoy another fire episode! 00:00-16:17: Intro
