30 Years Later Chris Chafin

This week we're talking about a movie Roger Ebert said created "the best version of a comic book universe I've seen," The Crow. We talk not just about its infamous place in film history for the on-set death of star Brandon Lee on March 31st, 1993, but about its real accomplishments in translating a comic and cartoon look and feel to live action, as well as the surprisingly long tail of its influence via Chad Stahelski. A stuntman and best friend of Brandon Lee who was on set the day of Lee's accidental killing, Stahelski has been fanatical about safety ever since, taking it right through his work as the director of the John Wick franchise.

Hey gang! It's bittersweet to post today's episode, which is on a great film, and really the perfect one for our show, Paul Schrader's Light Sleeper, which is also going to be our last one for a while. Thank you to all the listeners over the years. Maybe we'll be back, who knows! And keep an eye on Ricky, he should have some ~~very exciting~~ things to announce soon!
Thank you again, everyone. Was truly great to think about these transcendent, awful, perplexing, and beautiful movies with you. Talk soon.

It's 3 PM in 1994, and you're popping in your cassette of Mo' Money to watch it for the 500th time. Sounds great! Watching it as an adult in 2022, tho ... let's say it hits different.
Also!! We're back at Nitehawk in just under two weeks, on Sunday, July 31st at 11:15 AM, for a 30th anniversary screening of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. See you there!
