About this Episode

In 2003, Ang Lee's vision for a superhero movie was manifested in 'Hulk', starring Eric Bana. In one of the early Marvel movies of the modern era, Lee established some new ways of interpreting comic book stories on film. We get to see the complex origins of Bruce Banner's alter ego while Nick Nolte chews up the scenes as his father. With that and some groundbreaking CGI effects for the time, 'Hulk' is a fun watch, sure to stir some nostalgia and an understanding of how we got where we are today. Jay and Josh realize it's not easy being dayglo green on Superhero Suite.
