Episode recorded: September 10th, 2025
The September 2025 slot was empty, so Jay and his another rotating co-host Dom filled that up by discussing the movie of the latter's choice - Alex Proyas’s film adaptation of James O’Barr’s indie comic book series of the same name The Crow (1994).
From now on, we are inserting some scripted segments that give you some background information (about the movie’s summary, director’s biography, etc.). All of the segments are voiced by Dom Valentini himself.
We are going to discuss the 1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, that period of time when the city of Detroit was a common punchline, James O’Barr’s original comic book that was influenced by the tragic death of his loved one, the indie comic book scene, Marcell Jankovics’s poetic black-and-white animated shorts, his fascination with mythology, an adult animated movie that actually take the theme of violence seriously, and deconstructing all of the wasted potentials of the 2024 reboot.
