We made a lot of bad decisions around that time, like the Iraq War. On another note: that Beauty and the Beast discussion was amazing. "You know that guy LOVED to gently caress!"

Master of Disguise also had a staggering amount of deleted scenes. It was cut down from a much longer epic.

Based on the reviews I've seen so far, I really want the guys to do an episode on London Has Fallen, a movie where American Mike actually says the line "Go back to Fuckheadistan" when killing a guy.

The Shadow may be one of my new favorite episodes. I also really like they the podcast was 90 minutes. I'm too lazy to check, but I feel some of them hover around 60 minutes and it isn't as satisfying. Maybe I'm making that up, but this one felt like one of those super-sized issues of Wizard magazine back in the day with a pull out poster of Eric Movie dressed as Wolverine.

I now got to watch The Shadow, Dick Tracy, The Rocketeer, and The Phantom again and see which is the worst. I also want a Avengers team up of said film heroes.

Phantom is the worst of those, I think. I remember Dick Tracy being very meandering, The Shadow being dark and mean spirited, and Rocketeer being fun and old-timey.

The Rocketeer is a v good movie and shouldn't be so viciously tarnished by association with those three trainwrecks.

The only times I ever saw anyone buying copies of The Phantom, it was always one of Those Guys who would also be renting like three pornos on VHS at 3 in the afternoon from a place that also sold candy to children. That's the only kind of person I can imagine reading a Phantom comic.

Which one is the one with Clive Owen as the White House guy who sold the white house to the scary asians? Because I swear throughout the entire episode they were talking about that one because it was beat-by-beat identical but Andrew never pulled out his lovely do you ever get the headaches Jason imitation which I'm sure would've come up if it had been that one movie so I am genuinely confused. EDIT: Oh poo poo, after a cursory glance turns out I was confusing Dylan McDermott with Clive Owen.

I agree with Firstborn, The Phantom is easily the worst of that bunch. Though it had a more memorable villain the The Shadow. The Rocketeer is just a good movie. I like The Shadow and Dick Tracy, but I recognize their flaws. The Phantom is just bad.

Sorry didn't mean to say Rocketeer was a bad film, its a film i like, I just grouped it with the others due it coming out at a time when apparently producers thought Pulp Comic films were going to be a thing. Also I now think my grandpa was some kind of secret old-timey pulp comics nerd, because he's the one who took me to see all those films. I think Dick Tracy(or possibly Mario Brothers) was the first time I realized movies can be bad.

After hearing them discuss old Orson Welles radio dramas, I kind of want them to do an episode on one of those shows. "Too Many Crooks" from The Lives of Harry Lime is kinda whacky and I feel like they could have a field day with it. The series is available here: https://archive.org/details/TheLivesOfHarryLime/

I really can never bring myself to dislike THE SHADOW. I love the stagey art-deco look of it at least. It does fall apart in the last act however. THE PHANTOM is an attempt at a swashbuckling serial that just doesn't work at all and DICK TRACY is just sort of a big indulgent mess.

I was just too busy watching cartoons and playing N64 as a kid to watch those shows. Tons of their references are like 10 years too old for me - same thing with The Flop House. I really want to see Dick Tracy. It sounds like it's visually cool and weird, which is all I want in a movie, especially after a few tall glasses of water. I even likes Cool World, and loved Lucy. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/summer_movies/2010/06/remember_dick_tracy.html The Phantom was probably made for markets like Australia where the character is much more popular. Like that Tintin movie, which was probably big in Europe. Count Chocula fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Mar 3, 2016 |

In the last little while I watched the Rocketeer, The Shadow, and Dick Tracy because I'm a sucker for old pulp comics and art-deco. The Rocketeer is a legitimately fun movie that has a Nazi Zeppelin and an exploding Timothy Dalton, while the Shadow is a bad movie that I love for being so weirdly mean-spirited. I'll always kind of love both movies. Dick Tracy on the other hand, is a grotesque technicolour nightmare with a freakshow parade of hideously made-up characters that are so disturbing to look at that it honestly began making me a bit queasy seeing them walk around and talk. It's an okay movie, but it's kind of hard to watch. Slantedfloors fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Mar 3, 2016 |

Count Chocula posted:The Phantom comics are huge in Australia. gently caress I always hated The Phantom, it was one of those comics they always ran in newspapers like the aforementioned Prince Valiant (which we thankfully didn't get here, but sounded lame as poo poo) and those Spider man comics where he'd be driving to Mary Jane's birthday party for a month. I mean there was nothing particularly funny or interesting about the story - it was the sort of thing that kids might have liked back in the 30s or 50s or something when a white guy living in a vaguely racist tribe of "natives" was cool. They also always did this thing where several panels in a row would just be orange. Or purple. Like all the light in that scene was orange/purple, because the colourist couldn't be hosed colouring individual things so they went "oh yeah there's a REALLY STRONG ORANGE LIGHT in this scene for some reason!" Godawful. Did anyone like The Phantom at all? Because I never met anyone who did. (Also shout out to Ginger Meggs which is a similarly awful comic, but at least less pretentious. He goes down the hill in his billycart, crashes, and sometimes he expresses the controversial opinion that "SKOOL SUCKS". That's the comic.)

My favorite little thing about Rocketeer is that when they watch the Nazi jetpack propaganda cartoon they didn't actually give any of the Nazi weapons in the name of getting a PG rating, making it the least menacing invasion ever.Count Chocula posted:I love Dark City, and Alex Proyas just accepted my Facebook friend request (Australia is not a very large place).

Proyas just had a big meltdown on Facebook about how critics are stupid for giving his latest movie God's of Egypt bad reviews and that people complaining about a movie set in Egypt having a white cast is political correctness gone mad, it's very yummy.

Prince Valiant is pretty loving rad, I thought it was boring as a kid but when some guy started posting the entire series in the newspaper comics thread I realized it's a pretty classic tale of medieval baddassery with some cool art.
