For this first October episode of our continuing hero's journey, we don our facepaint, grab our electric guitar, and settle in to watch "a movie about a man who even the devil could not handle, because his gothicness was off the chart" (-fh147): the 1994 adaptation of James O'Barr's comic The Crow! And while the film may be generally lacking in crows (yes, that bird's actually a raven), it makes up for it with incredible texture, lighting, Brandon Lee's charisma, and Ernie Hudson's mustache (it just makes us feel safe, y'know?)

This episode we trade in our purple Phantom suit for a nose prosthetic disguise, slam a couple of martinis, and take to the streets with Alec Baldwin in the 1994 film The Shadow! Along the way we celebrate the life and work of the great Tim Curry, speculate on the many missing pieces of Lamont Cranston's origin story, and even find time to fit in a quick safe sex PSA. Release the Phurba Cut!

Hot on the jetpack-heated heels of last episode's Rocketeer, we SLAM into this next leg of the hero's journey in skintight purple as we explore the 1996 adaptation of one of comics' earliest heroes, The Phantom! Along the way we talk Beau's bisexual awakening, Brandon's face blindness, and the timeline where Kevin Smith got really buff in the 90's and built a wholesome manosphere.

Our adventures with comic book heroes continue, and this episode we're donning jet packs and blasting up into the zeppelin-filled skies to cover Disney's 1991 adaptation of Dave Stevens' comic The Rocketeer! Paul Sorvino followed us over from Dick Tracy, but we're too busy crushing on Timothy Dalton and Jennifer Connelly to really notice him- and let's not even talk about Billy Campbell's Cliff Secord (no, seriously, Beau does NOT want to talk about him). And while there's a lot to like about this film, forgive us if we come off as slightly disinterested this week; we'd just really rather be watching Commando Cody.

Over the next few months we're taking an extended look at comic book heroes, and since August is Brandon's birthday month, we're kicking things off with one of his favorite childhood films: Warren Beatty's 1990 adaptation of Dick Tracy! Join us as we dive into this vibrant world of bright primary colors, shadowy villains, and the trail of walnut shells and chewed scenery left in the wake of Al Pacino, all in pursuit of an answer to the eternal question: "When do we eat?"

This week Bond season comes to a close with one final conversation about his latest outing: IO Interactive's 2026 action-adventure game, 007 First Light! We traded in the Aston Martin for the Lotus Esprit submarine car so we could do a real deep dive here, so come along as we get into some extensive discussion about the gameplay systems, narrative themes, and everything in between, and along the way try to decide once and for all: what do we hate more, ledges or AI? (It's AI)

It's Bond round 2, and this time we've left the comic shop and are on the franchise's main turf over at the cinema with potentially the worst experience we could have there: 2002's Die Another Day! This 133 minutes of movie gave us much to consider during that time, such as: which did the writers misunderstand more, DNA or the NSA? How many sensual fig chews stand between a PG-13 sex scene, and a hard R? And does anyone remember where we parked? Shoot, we KNEW that invisible car was a bad idea...

It's James Bond month! And on the way to our final mission of covering the game 007 First Light, we've made a couple of stops at some other lesser-known (and maybe less-respected) Bond adventures. This week: the graphic novels Vargr and Eidolon, collecting the first two arcs of Dynamite's James Bond by Warren Ellis and Jason Masters! We talk Warren Ellis' take on Bond (that is, when Beau isn't too busy imagining Garth Ennis'), recoil at some of the violence, recoil further at the male chauvinism, and then reemerge to rave about that killer color palette.
