Episode 114 - The Crow
In this episode of the show, we are marking the 30th anniversary of Brandon Lee's untimely passing by talking about his final film, The Crow. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the movie as a mixture of a cathartic revenge fantasy and a gothic love story, Brandon Lee's iconic portrayal of Eric Draven as compared to Heath Ledger's take on Joker in The Dark Knight, Alex Proyas' knack for visual storytelling, The Crow as related to Tim Burton's Batman, The Matrix and John Wick and much more. We hope that with this conversation combined with a whole month devoted to his work, we will have given Brandon Lee a salute he is owed by the world.
Enjoy!
