Hey everyone, here is our follow-up to our episode on The Shadow. On this discussion we talk about three pulp hero comic adaptations; The Rocketeer (1991), The Phantom (1996), and The Spirit (2008). We also get sidetracked and go on tangents about Sacha Baron Cohen and the current state of Disney. And we of course talk about the stuff you've sent to the PO box. Enjoy!

I think mediocre action movies today are worse then they were in the 90s is also due to the pacing and the length.

I’m with you joe there’s a lot of old stuff I haven’t seen yet. I literally don’t watch new stuff unless I watch it with my family and friends.

The reason studios have contempt for their audiences is they know they can get away with it because they’re people out there who’ve attached their entire identity to a brand or a film that they will accept anything as long as the put the thing on the screen.

Brett Lawrence

At least the trailer for “The Spirit” is fun… including a great song. But yes, disappointing flick.

Joe you kinda ruin the joke so now my big brain is gonna send you another funny thing

JokersJuicyAss

Also Joe and Ryan that book I gave ya, look who wrote Imitation of Life, that is the main reason I got it for you guys

100% if it was just CGI whatever, it's pacing, and also it's how shots are filmed, go look at a car chase in Black Dog (Great for this show, I might send you two a copy) and then look at Fury Road, despite Fury Road being practical Black Dog still had a more exciting chase despite it just being 2 cars driving straight in a field

I actually watched Bad Trip when it came out, it was fine, oddly enough the Impractical Jokers did the same thing like a year before for their movie and I want to remind you to Gilbert did a interview with two of those guys and it's one of the funniest episodes, and they did end up talking about The Rocketeer in that episode

Welp speaking of Graphic Novels (That one I gave you, you should read, it references tales of the crypt) is what I gave you, 5/6 of the whole The Boys run, and the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas graphic novel (It exist and it's in my opinion the best version of that story)

Also give that CD a listen, the guys in that band are nerds, like half of the songs in it are based on comics or films

Sidetracks

Please don’t feel obligated to send us anything! We appreciate everything you’ve already sent.

About Ryan's remark on the best time for America, I feel like post WW2 was our glory years. All those soldiers coming back ready to make babies, the economy is better than it has ever been, the average Joe on the street can afford luxuries that to war ravaged Europe seem extreme, The 60s really did destroy this great nation of ours, but at least they made some great films

The Phantom is still weirdly popular here in Australia -- probably more so than in the USA. So I remember both my dad and I being quite disappointed with it at the time because of the changes it made from the comics. With that said, it definitely had style -- I really need to go back and watch it again.

Thomas Bishop

As an American, I remember the movie coming out and not knowing what it was, or thinking it was more of a european thing maybe? The first time I'd ever seen or heard of a Phantom comic was when I stayed in Sydney for a year around 2010 and was really surprised to see it still at newstands, and that the art and everything looked super detailed and kept a really appealing retro style.

In a nutshell, Shazam is the first Captain Marvel, originally published by Fawcett Comics in the 40s. They stopped publishing Captain Marvel in the 60s and sold the rights to DC in the 70s. Meanwhile, in the 60s Marvel started publishing their own Captain Marvel because the other one was on hiatus. Marvel has the trademark so DC has to use the Shazam name instead.

Any time you need something that doesn’t matter answered I gotchu 🫡

In the Rocketeer comic he takes the jetpack from criminals who stole it from Doc Savage but they for copyright reasons I'm sure changed the creator of it to be Howard Hughes in the movie. The Rocketeer also ends up in New York and runs into the Shadow in the comic. Dan Stevens loved the pulp stuff. Also; the aesthetic and style of stuff like Rocketeer and stuff like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow gets called Diesel Punk so if you wanted to look up that style look under that term.

There was a long running Bob Hope comic book that went through the 40s and 50s

I’m loving this off shoot conversation about Sacha Baron Cohen and Eric Andre. I think Bad Trip would eventually be a good pick for the podcast. If it had come out at a different time, under different circumstances and wasn’t leaked a year before Netflix released it legally… it could’ve been a lot bigger than it was.
