Hey everyone, here's early access to our newest episode on The Shadow! We discuss the career of director Russell Mulcahy and the history of The Shadow character before diving into the plot. We also recorded a Patreon episode on three very similar films; The Rocketeer, The Phantom, and The Spirit so stay tuned for that!

What are your thoughts on this movie? Let us know in the comments!

Anthony Hoffman

ACC Network with a new episode of the Joe & Ryan Show!

Luke Gordnier

Watched the phantom, the shadow and the rocketeer for this podcast. The rocketeer was my favorite by a landslide.

Wade Wilson

My Dad loved The Shadow. He said it gave him the same feeling as the old Radio Dramas he used to listen to as a kid.

Thomas Bishop

I feel like the other movies were made with some kind of honest attempt somewhere down the line to expose people to a fun, nostalgic pulp/serial comic thing. To me, The Shadow just felt like the Batman era version of naming your movie "Love Potion #9."

The Rocketeer is the clear standout

Welp Ryan finally gave us fuel for the lewd fanfics we totally don't write

Luke Gordnier

With all the talk about fake relationships in Hollywood, In hail ceaser that movie deals with Hollywood setting up a fake relationship. That movie might be a good one for a future episode cause it’s a cohen brothers movie that no one talks about and it’s awesome.

On the dvd for the rocketeer, the quote is “It’s raiders of the lost ark meets top gun”.

The phantom also was written by Last crusade writer Jeffery Boam and it was a Paramount picture.

I think will Arnett would make a good shadow

The One and Rory

I've said this before, but hearing you and Ryan mention Fatty Arbuckle and Old Hollywood has reminded me of a suggestion for a film catch-up: Babylon. It's a PTA/Altman-style epic that focuses on the rise and fall of silent film stars entering the talkies. While it did bomb at the box office, it's been gaining a cult following from those who've seen it. It's a polarising flick, so I have no idea what you or Ryan (Well okay, that's a lie, we all know where he would land) would think of it.

The thing with Lothar in The Rocketeer is that he is one of the holdovers from the comic (though he's named something different in the comic) who is based on an old actor named Rondo Hatton who had a physical deformity that made him actually look like that makeup. He always played heavies and murderers in old poverty row movies in the 30s and 40s. The creator of The Rocketeer Dan Stevens based almost all of the characters on real people like Betty, the girlfriend, is based on pinup model Betty Page for instance.

I think the hall of mirrors in this was meant to be another tribute to Orson Welles since his movie The Lady from Shanghai ends in a hall of mirrors and may have been the first movie to use that trope.

Ryan Lancello

Forgot to mention that, good catch

JokersJuicyAss

I mean he made a great Sweet Tooth in the Twisted Metal show

Sidetracks

I totally forget to mention that! I remember stumbling upon the Rondo Hatton connection after watching the movie for the first time this year. It’s definitely something we’ll revisit more in depth in the future

Sidetracks

I’ll definitely check it out one of these days

Thomas Bishop

Speaking of Seinfeld actors and Noir period acting, I randomly saw a super low-budgety noir years ago starring Patrick Warburton in like 50's L.A. called "The Woman Chaser" that was intensely good and right up your guys' alley. You can do it for your other podcast, "Movies In Absolutely No Danger of Being a Cult Classic."

Really enjoyed this episode. I grew up with the Orson Welles radio episodes on cassette from Radio Spirits. Although I’ve seen the movie probably a dozen times I can’t argue with it failing to launch after the first act, although I enjoy the insane Tim Curry performance more than you guys.
