Eric Draven tells us that nothing is trivial.  Keep that in mind when we start talking about the perfect way to assemble a hot dog.  Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam – as we return to perhaps the most 90s film ever in Brandon Lee’s final film, The Crow.  We’re joined on our mission by our permaguest Ellie as we discuss one of the most bizarre films we’ve looked at yet.   It's a 19th Episode where no-one was doing things by half-measures and we discuss:

  • Why you should never mess with a Benedict Cubmerbatch fan community
  • The specifics surrounding the tragic death of Brandon Lee
  • Which studio was originally going to distribute the film direct to video and which studio picked up the project after the death of Brandon Lee
  • How multiple generations of Batman films seemed to be an influence on and influenced by The Crow
  • How Ian would have ended the film differently
  • Liam tries to make a case that The Crow is a Romantic Comedy
  • Is this Ernie Hudson’s best role ever?
  • How do we each take our eggs?
  • Which actor in this film may have worse line delivery than Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot
  • If “The Crow" is it the best film ever.
