Movie Meltdown - Episode 633

This episode Sam Drog returns as we delve into our own history with the original movie The Crow, give a recap of all the failed incarnations in-between and then get into an honest discussion of our thoughts on the new film directed by Rupert Sanders.   

And while we comprise our ultimate anti-social movie experience, we also address… Bill Skarsgård, Brandon Lee, James O'Barr, wearing your aluminum foil hat, enabling bad behavior, Michael Wincott, hanging out with a squirrel, Ridley Scott, making a deal with the devil, panel layout, David Patrick Kelly, John Waters’ zombies, a dystopian future, not Tilda Swinton, limbo world, cg blood, having crow-powers, Cold Cave, the power of credit cards, I want to go back to that well of heartbreak and bankruptcy, Jon Polito, this concentrated version of every bad decision they’ve made, I want to go back to that well of heartbreak and bankruptcy, Tony Todd, Hellraiser 2, a nuclear-powered Chicken Biscuit, Jon Polito, the closest I’ve gotten to love, The Veils, action sequences, the furry lifestyle, John Wick, dirty rice and a coffee, Alien: Resurrection, being a moody teen, I like breakin’ stuff, Ghost in the Shell, then it’s not consumerism - it’s culture, nostalgia grab, the culture has become a deep-fried Twinkie, the finer things in life, a gothic landmark, an interesting trainwreck, Blue Ruin and juicy out on the town.     

Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for "The Crow", both the 2024 and 1994 versions. And pretty much everything else Crow-related. 

“It's not like the fans are just going out and seeing whatever's got a crow on it.”
