In a World…where people feel safe and assume monsters aren't real…there exists a second world of evil and vampires. However, there is one man who walks in both worlds, and he may be the only thing between evil and light. He is…SLICE.

 

This episode features the improv comedy games Movie Trailer in a Minute, Best of Times / Worst of Times, Last Letter / First Letter, Blind Line, and Cutting Room.

About This Episode

 

In this episode, we pay homage to vampire hero movies - those awesome action movies where the vampire (at least one of them) is the hero. We recorded this to prep for Morbius, but since we hadn't seen it yet this episode is much more of an homage to Blade.

 

It is also the first episode we recorded in 2022, and we tweak our format a bit. We hope you like it!

Transcription of the "Discussing the Genre Tropes" Segment (Unedited and Un-Cleaned up)

Avish Parashar: Alright, so if you've been listening for a while, you know, this is our five minutes segment where we discussed the tropes and cliches our second change we're doing to our format trying this out for 2022 is.

Avish Parashar: Mike and I bring a lot of history to a lot of these movies and genres so which may be comes out in the show, but maybe the audience is aware of that so we're going to expand this segment to closer to 10 minutes.

Avish Parashar: But so we're going to start first by talking a little bit about the movie and our experience with the genre and Mike this is.

Avish Parashar: probably true for many movies matrix certainly um, but this is one we actually saw together.

Avish Parashar: We played.

Avish Parashar: together in the theater way back when so take us back, would you remember, like what What did you think when you saw blade for the first time.

Michael Worth: Oh man I forgot that we start the theater together to you know the um what did I think my first take was um i'm damn this is stylish like this was like because.

Michael Worth: Up until now, what other superhero movies were there, there was Batman Batman was cool but I had a bit of the Gothic this at the other end seen Superman so this comes in and the.

Avish Parashar: Opening when it goes this.

Avish Parashar: Before was this before after spider man, this is right around spider man.

Michael Worth: This was before Spiderman, but it was a because spider man is as a mom as an MC you so yeah it was before Spiderman um and it was after Batman cuz Let me take a look here.

Michael Worth: bleed film um but I remember walking in and you're watching them go to that rave club and it's all like full that great 90s like.

Avish Parashar: It does oh yeah.

Michael Worth: And it's all you know slickly shot and then, when the blood comes down.

Michael Worth: And the guys you see the reversal you guys the guy that's gonna get eaten and then blade shows up and they're all stuck around have covered and read being fair like hot shit this movie it's doubling down on visual imagery like.

Avish Parashar: It was yeah.

Michael Worth: So stylish.

Avish Parashar: Was it was so cool and Wesley snipes was just cool as blade.

Michael Worth: Yes, absolutely.

Avish Parashar: excited because I think they do a remake with a mashallah alli and I think you'd be great as a blade yeah but Wesley snipes was just so and he delivered the most ridiculous one liners so well.

Michael Worth: Oh, the credibility people forget about Wesley snipes like about a he's a legit martial artists like he trains hard and he's kind of Michael J white when he's got like legit chops to he can make shuts down so smugly like self pompous some of the Fuck is always trying to escape.

Avish Parashar: The line I love that.

Michael Worth: so good, and he just delivers it with such like, just like I do this lads fucking stupid, but i'm gonna make it awesome right um.

Avish Parashar: it's funny because when blade came out I feel like I read a lot of comic was growing up and I read a bunch of spider man, but I think when it came out I didn't even realize that bleed was a marvel comics character, I just thought it was I got cool vampire movie.

yeah yeah.

Avish Parashar: And it was so it doesn't feel like a comic movie it feels like a
