They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!
TV & Film
Lee, Leah, and special guest Matt Anderson discover if the weed of crime indeed does bear bitter fruit, when they talk about "The Shadow" (1994), directed by Russell Mulcahy, and starring Alec Baldwin. Matt, being a big fan of old pulp stories and radio dramas, as well as a lover and writer of comic books, helps bring a lot of context and background to both The Shadow himself, including his many different origins over the years, and how this film tries to merge them together, and overall how it fits in the wake of the success of the Tim Burton Batman films. It turns out to be a fun, in-depth talk about an imperfect, but unfairly overlooked film. The hosts also talk about what they've watched lately.
