Darkman with Chris Weitz
Who\u2019s Darkman? A man of a thousand faces! A walking fleshwound who probably smells awful! A dude who probably would be into night eggs! Filmmaker Chris Weitz joins us to geek out over Sam Raimi\u2019s homage to the Universal Monsters - a film that establishes the comic book style that Raimi would later perfect with his \u201cSpider-Man\u201d trilogy. We discuss the early 90s run of pulpy comic book films (\u201cDick Tracy\u201d, \u201cThe Shadow\u201d), the shock of seeing Frances McDormand in what she describes as a \u201cbimbo role,\u201d and the unbelievably true story of how Sam Raimi swapped in his own cut of \u201cDarkman\u201d when the studio tried to release their own version.\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on\xa0Instagram,\xa0Threads,\xa0Facebook\xa0and\xa0X!\nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our\xa0Reddit\xa0or\xa0Discord\nFor anything else, check out\xa0BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
