Guests, Greatness, and Guilty Pleasures: After Dark

We continue our conversation wherein we defend our tastes after experiencing audio problems. Also, lots of superheroes.

As we said before, this is a continuation of our conversation in Episode 5. We had an issue during the playback of the podcast that rendered the audio at too low of a volume. We also took a LONG digression where we just talk about comics. So, if you've enjoyed any of our other discussions (or share Chris's intense love of DC live-action shows), you'll enjoy this one.


Guests, Greatness, and Guilty Pleasures

Today we sit down to discuss the exceptions that prove the rule of our amazing tastes. Ed loves both the Speed Racer and Josie & The Pussycats movies, and he wanted to find out what movies (et. al) the other guys like, despite the public opinion that they're shitty.

After two straight weeks of religious talk (with a third episode still to come), we decided to dial it back a bit and go with a less intense subject. After the small talk and pleasantries, we sit down to discuss something of the utmost importance: are movies bad just because someone else decided they were? Is Ed really that bizarre because he loves Speed Racer? Has Chris lost his mind because he doesn't see why Bram Stoker's Dracula currently has a 79% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes? Can James be forgiven for enjoying the Ang Lee's Hulk?

This is the second part of the three hour discussion that we started off last episode with and it's pretty much all comics and comic related stuff in this one. We talk about path of superhero movies as they relate to the source material, why Wonder Woman might be a leading weapon when it comes to equality in film, why people should stop holding comic adaptations to their own imaginary standards, and why DC and Marvel can't stop with the crises.

Admittedly, there's a lot we mentioned but didn't get through, like the way women are being treated in the industry, the fact that not all comic books are superhero books, and adaptations of comic books outside of just film and television. Fortunately, It looks like we're gonna be here for a long time, so we'll have time to tackle some of that other stuff.
