Reels ov Steel

Assassins! Explosions! Demented clown-demons!

This week we head straight to hell to check out 1997's SPAWN! Starring Michael Jai White, Martin Sheen, Nichol Williamson, and an... experimental performance from the amazing John Leguizamo. It's a bold experiment in directly translating a comic book to the big screen.

On paper it sounds (and looks) super-metal. So... does this none-more-90s adaptation of the hit Image Comicbook lay down the metal law?

Listen in as Matt & Tom argue about whether the devil should actually be able to open his mouth when he speaks, how "kneeling down with big shoes on your knees" may or may not be the peak of special effects technology, if the super-rich really have fetish models with Uzis at their fancy galas, and much more!

Want to know more about the movie in advance? Watch it on Amazon, relive your Nu-Metal youth with the soundtrack on YouTube, and see what happened to "dirty little shit-boy" Zack on IMDB.

"It's one of the rare "fuck them kids!" movies where children die. You don't see many of them, but I do quite enjoy them"

...and a whole lot more very metal garbage!

This week's movie is tough to track down online, but you can usually check it out on YouTube, and learn all about the terrible career decisions of Emilio Estevez over on IMDB
