Having wrapped up their marathon of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Jeffrey and Andy now turn their critical attention to another old story resurrected as a nineties action flick in Martin Campbell's 1998 film, The Mask of Zorro. Lamenting its failure to materialize into a franchise of its own, the hosts found much to love about Campbell's swashbuckler—mainly Antonio Banderas and the film's rich set designs, beautiful music, and fanciful swordplay. The Mask of Zorro is an underrated entry to the canon of nineties action films, a taste of the superhero boom that would soon come, and a well-crafted origin story that deserved a better sequel than the one it got.
