We made it to episode 25! This is a special episode where Wong and Mike take a nostalgic and highly praised dive into the iconic 1994 classic The Crow and give an unfortunate review of its 2024 reboot—both based on the classic graphic novel of the same name. One film is revered as a masterpiece that perfectly captures the dark, poetic soul of its source material, while the other feels like a soulless cash grab that fails to bring anything new to the table.
Join us as we compare and contrast the two films, dissecting what made the original The Crow unforgettable—its performances, direction, and haunting atmosphere—and why the 2024 version misses the mark, offering nothing more than a hollow rehash of the original’s magic.
With some fiery opinions, and a few laughs along the way, we’ll explore how these two films represent the best and worst of modern filmmaking. Tune in to hear our take on both films, and let us know which Crow flies higher in your book.
