Episode 33: Spider-Skim present Super the Movie and Super Michael Rooker
Gregory Carl returns to the podcast to demonstrate his range of cinematic knowledge. Gregory and Cool Movies Darth discuss the pre franchise work of writer/director James Gunn. We end up mainly focusing on 2010's "Super" and allow that to express our admiration of Gunn's most recent features and the inimitable Michael Rooker.
The two us come at "Super" from two different perspectives. I really admired this feature for being made for the most stereotypical comic book reader while Gregory tries to get over the casting of Rainn Wilson and the obnoxiousness of the characters who make the uninitiated weary of entering a comic book shop. We can agree on the film's strengths, but not the ending. In the end, recency bias lead to us not giving enough attention towards the undeniable classic that is James Gunn's "Slither".
"Super" was the most recent feature we saw between Gunn's two pre "Guardians" directorial efforts. My ability to see it for free was thanks to Apple TV's IFC Films Unlimited service. If I was not planning to give Shudder a chance, this service maybe worth more than its one-week trial. $5.99 is an acceptable price if you have it to spare.
Thanks to IFC's service and my vacation time, I was also able to watch Olivier Assayas's "Personal Shopper" which was one of the best paranormal features I have seen since "The Orphanage", the cinematic extension of the great BBC political satire series "The Thick of It" with "In the Loop", but best of all, my admiration of Gregg Araki was rewarded with "Kaboom".
Otherwise, this podcast is quite brotherly as we not only discuss features like Gunn's "Suicide Squad" but stories about Juventud Guerrera and of our fond memories of toys like Funko Pops, WWF Hasbro figures, and Fortnite figures. Some memories are more recent than others I suppose.
The two of really wish we would have given "Slither" more time, but only one us was on vacation. With that said, if you want to chat about that undeniable classic. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com.
With that said, I have got a lot of time till next Monday to record podcasts. After deeming "The Suicide Squad" to be too long, an interest in finding movies to cut down to about 90-minutes has arose. If anyone wants to chat about this, send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter @catbusruss. Just offer a 90-minute subject (film, director, theme, or actor[s]) to also chat about. OR, another movie to figure out how to get from a bloated state down to the ideal frame of 74 to 99 minutes.
I would not mind being a couples week ahead when it comes to content, so I would love to hear from you with ideas on what to chat about. Frankly, it would be honor to host you and find out about why you offered your incite. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com with a movie, theme, director, or actor. If you promise to center the topic around movies between 74 and 99 minutes, audio gold should be the product.
If you need some suggestions, movies like "Fear of a Black Hat", "UHF" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" can make for a great theme. ThePoeticCritic knew that Robert Downey Sr.'s satirical masterpiece, "Putney Swope" fits the pod's time restraints. There are also Tim Burton's early classics "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" and "Beetlejuice". Or we could just focus on movies Danny Elfman scored.
I have been asking for weeks for assistance in composing an episode dedicated to vampire features like "The Lost Boys" trilogy, "Near Dark", and the "Underworld" movies. Here is to hoping that this bunch of critiques will stir up some inspiration in my audience to step up and hold off on the garlic. If this is a topic you up for discussing, feel free to send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. All I need is a half hour on Zoom to get this done.
I hope I am impressing or at the very least amusing you with this podcast and I am open to any and all criticism. My biggest want is more guests and more suggestions on what to chat about (@catbusruss, russthebus07@gmail.com@coolmoviesdarth). If we can get 3 hours out of "Little Nicky", the possibilities are endless. Thanks for visiting.
After WrestleMania Backlash, I will tell you that we need to take zombie pro wrestling back. My suggestion is that we finally get my low-budget zombie movie, "Main Event of the Dead" off the ground. The script lacks a lumberjack match, so you know it has got to be better than the "Army of the Dead" advertisement. Ask for a treatment or give me suggestions on how to get it to a crowd-sourcing stage with an email to russthebus07@gmail.com.
