Failure to Franchise

Episode Twelve - Spawn (1997)


Listen Later

Billed as the "Special Effects Movie Event of the Year," SPAWN seemed to have a lot going for it when it arrived in theaters in 1997. Based on a popular comic book that had been the centerpiece of a brand new company that revolutionized the comic industry in the early '90s, and arriving only a few months after the debut of a well-received HBO animated series, the film was also the first mainstream superhero movie with an African American hero in the lead. So what the heck went so wrong that it's being featured on our show? We get to the bottom of it. Plus, a brand new episode of everyone's favorite podcast-within-a-podcast, "Let's Go, Leguizamo!"
