"Me? The Shadow? 

Why, Vincent... The Shadow doesn't exist."

—Lamont Cranston

(The Shadow Serial, 1940)

Reputed to be the most faithful film adaptation of the pulp incarnation of The Shadow, today's episode reviews the entire series in FULL, and then caps off with an overview of the pulp story that inspired it: The Lone Tiger!

"Beg Satan for forgiveness, for you'll not find it this side of hell!" The Shadowcast reviews the 1946 B-picture "The Shadow Returns" and Marvel/Epic graphic novel classic, "The Shadow 1941" by Denny O'Neill and Mike Kaluta!

The theme of season 3 of The Shadowcast is "The Shadow on Film", and we kick it off with the 1994 Shadow feature film starring Alec Baldwin! In the second half of today's episode, we then contrast the differences between the finished film, and its comic adaptation by the great Michael Kaluta! REPORT!

Clutching, throttling, life-snatching hands, guided by a mastermind, mad for loot! Thrill to the adventure as The Shadowcast battles lone-handed against the tremendous forces of evil in this season finale... HANDS IN THE DARK!

Racketeers—ruthless, relentless—make a great metropolis their blood-soaked battleground to suit evil purpose!

The Shadowcast wages war with racketeers and corrupt unions in another tale torn from the headlines, in 1932's timely crimeland epic: "The Mobsmen On The Spot"!

The Shadow crushes the conniving schemes of perhaps his first bona fide 'supervillain' in his 8th pulp adventure: THE BLACK MASTER!

Then, The Shadow and Margot get to the bottom of a murder plot involving a hypnotist and phony spiritual mediums in the 1947 radio adventure Séance With Death!

The Shadowcast is joined by venerated pulp historian WILL MURRAY, author of the recent Shadow bookumentary 'Master of Mystery: The Rise of The Shadow'. We discuss his history with the pulp reprints, association with Walter Gibson, and everything in-between!

Then, we continue our reviews of classic pulps when The Shadow tackles a secret society of prominent criminal conspirators in THE SILENT SEVEN!

In today's Shadowcast: James Patterson reboots 'The Shadow' with the elegance of a quadriplegic ballerina.

The Shadow turns 90 years old and hasn't aged a day!

To prove it, we review two CLASSICS, published 50 years apart:

1931's seminal gangland epic, 'GANGDOM'S DOOM', where The Shadow brings Al Capone to justice... and 1989's comic classic 'Gangland DOOMED', where he returns to Chicago to eliminate the aftermath.
