Uncannuary - Blade (1998)
Welcome to another episode of Death Don’t Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It’s January, so that means it’s time for our “Uncannuary” series! Where we cover movies that feature superheroes or vigilantes, either adapted from comics or created specifically for the big screen! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and returning guest Matt Naughton discuss the 1998 action-horror hybrid that kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Blade!
The iconic Blood Rave! Intense late 90s vibes, including an influential and memorable techno soundtrack! Hong Kong-style action! Dramatic sunglass catching! Abundant black trench coats! Questionable blood tasting! Whimsical vampire souls! A sunrise execution! A melting body! Flirtatious sunscreen application! Vampire profiling! Good but somewhat-dated special effects! A surprisingly committed DJ! Dangerous autonomous trains! Late 90s computer graphics! reckless refueling! Solid horror moments, including a jump scare that saves someone from an awkward conversation! One of the only movies directed by Stephen Norrington before his early retirement! A cast that includes a bullied Donal Logue, Kris Kristofferson, Udo Kier, N'Bushe Wright, Traci Lords, AVP's Sanaa Lathan, Stephen Dorff as a slimy Vampire Supremacist, and of course, Wesley Snipes at his edgiest - delivering catchy one-liners while posing for countless aura-farming shots in a role he was born to play!
In addition, Matt Naughton reminds everyone how great John Woo’s Face/Off is, while Alex fully gives in to his love of James Cameron and gushes about Avatar: Fire and Ash!
As an added bonus, Alex shares that he was in a Holidanger movie himself, 2013’s You Better Watch Out!, which can be found on YouTube here!
