Will & Jared begin a new mini-series delving into the comic book movies of the past, the very specific past, between 1995 and 2005. Years before the MCU or The Dark Knight. Back when comic book movies weren't exactly taken seriously, and certainly weren't the dominant topic of conversation in film and media.
We begin with a foray into a oft-forgotten big budget spectacle that spawned multiple headlines due to clashes between its star and director. A film with such a troubled production that afterwards both of these men would retire from the industry. A premise too good to ignore, but a film rushed into production before the inspirational comic was even finished printing. Will & Jared discuss the 2003 blockbuster The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Does this film slap despite its awful RT score? How well do the effects hold up and is Mr. Hyde practical? What was up with that prequel to 28 Days Later? Listen to find out!
Our outro track is "Gymnopedie No. 1" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
