Podcast 5 pt.1<\/a>
I give out my top 3 errr<\/span>… 2 comics (it’s been awhile since I was an avid reader and I don’t really get into that indie stuff so it’s not much). We debate the value of a Superman. What sort of stakes and drama can possibly exist for he who is nigh omnipotent. I talk about my fondness for the Bruce Timm<\/span><\/a> DC animations. Then I tell an anecdote about elucidating<\/span> cinematic realism<\/a> by referencing the Superman vs. Mighty Mouse debate from Stand By Me (1986). <\/span>I go on to make the unpopular defense that comicbook<\/span>\/superhero movies becoming popular in Hollywood is a “good thing”. We compare the supers with the old time action movie protagonists who had to solve their problems with guns or fists or their wits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Mighty Mouse is just a cartoon, Superman is a real<\/span> guy.”<\/p>\n

Podcast 5 pt. 2<\/a>
In Part 2 we continue to discuss these problem solving skills as they relate to the Rambo IV trailer<\/a> and John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy (which includes The Thing (1982)<\/span>, Prince of Darkness<\/span> (1987), and In the Mouth of Madness (1995)<\/span>.) We talk about Carpenter’s affective use of claustrophobic elements to create fear. Then we briefly mention something about Commando<\/span> (1985) … but that’s a podcast for a different time. If you want to talk to the futile podcasters just send your emails or mp3 voicemail<\/span> to ian.strope@gmail.com<\/p>\n

Our closing stinger is of me reading a piece of dialog from The man with Two Brains (1983)
