Gaius Boiling (Instagram / Letterboxd ) from the "Back to the Blockbuster," podcast DROPS IN for his choice ”Darkman."  (1990  d. Sam Raimi). Starring: Liam Neeson, Frances McDormand, and Larry Drake. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Liam Neeson as 'PRUUNNNNEEE TRACY' in this original Superhero flick from Raimi, the great and powerful. What are Darkman's "powers?" Is there a Face/Off with out a Darkman? How much was Neeson allowed to use improvisational comedy? And all that very intentional pink elephant stuff. We answer all these questions and more thanks to a generous grant from the NY film academy school and Flim Springfield. 4/15!

Take a totally tubular ride through LA with us, and returning guest @davidparke, for his choice “Point Break.” (1991 d. Bigelow). Starring: Patrick Swayze (RIP), Keanu Reeves, and Gary Busey. We ponder if this is the ultimate “Mann on Menn Melodrama” - the Mann? We discuss the power, the grace, the charm, and why we’re so “crazy 4 Swayze.” The regular scheduled appearance of Jay L at his club, and this podcast. And the greatness of the taller Keanu pictures. 3/5!
