"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this special episode I look at the Blade franchise with "Blade," "Blade II," and "Blade: Trinity." For the first one, I look at how this movie was the first successful big-screen Marvel film, but also how it served as a bridge between the 90s darker comic book era to the 2000s bigger budget hero-driven era. With the second film, we look at how Snipes keeps the ball rolling, and how del Toro as director gave the film an extra gear. Finally, with the third film, we look at why it was such a big miss, but then the overall legacy of the franchise, and where it could go next.
