  • Doctor Strange New Worlds

    Brandi joins Dave in this episode of The Dark Corner podcast and covers Doctor Strange and Strange New Worlds. First, we review the film, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. We like Russell Crowe's performance. Moreover, Brandi delights in seeing Paul Bettany. Furthermore, we acknowledge how Wrath of Khan must have borrowed from the series of novels.

    For the Dark Track, John Omen performs Strange Days, a cover of The Cure's A Strange Day. You can find this song on Tainted Candy: A tribute to 80's New Wave. This is one of many compilations presented by The Gothsicles. Additionally, we present a promo for the popular podcast, My Favorite Murder.

    In this double stuffed point, we first review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While we find the villain to be just another in a series of disappointing handlings of a MARVEL character, we celebrate Sam Raimi's adept direction. For instance, this film delves into horror and Raimi's experienced hand is evident. Also, we review the premier of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It is perhaps the best first episode of any series of Star Trek. Moreover, we welcome the return to episodic storytelling in a live action format. Also, we enjoy the supporting cast as well as the leading characters. Furthermore, the comedy lands without undermining more serious parts of the story.


    Finally, we shout out to our friends on Twitter, @Fozziebare and @StainedSass.
