MOVIE DISCUSSION: 

Ways to support missions: Mission Next // Wycliffe Bible Translators // The Voice of the Martyrs 

Daniel comes out of hiding to discuss The Crow with Melvin, but not before explaining why he vanished from the podcast. The two then explore both the original comic and the 90's production of The Crow. Afterward, they ponder the weirdness of remaking such a beloved film.

Topics:

• (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 41-minutes of Daniel pitching the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels shows and why he now understands the deep connection Star Wars fans have with the material. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
• Daniel has been in Mission’s during his time away from the podcast. He shares why that's not only important but also a lot easier to assist than you might realize.
• Daniel & Melvin discuss James O'Barr's original The Crow comic book and use it as a foundation for their discussion.
• The Crow feels inextricably personal to its creator.
• Daniel explains how the film represents one of the more faithful hero adaptions prior to the 2000s.
• The special effects put a lot of modern visual effects to shame.
• Daniel, "Brandon Lee hangs heavily over this particular project... [it] imbues every scene that he's in with this kind of, just, interesting eeriness."
• Discussing why it's so cool.
• Complete confusion regarding The Crow (2024), which Daniel & Melvin both have not seen, but surely have a lot to say about it.
• The IMDB trivia page for the remake is filled with pull-quotes from cast and crew members of the original film stating how they are against the idea, and how some had yet to see the original.
