DEATH MACHINE
dir. Stephen Norrington
starring: Brad Dourif; Ely Pouget; Richard Brake

Writer, actor, and fellow vampire hunter Jamell Moses joins us to discuss 1998's 'Blade', a Marvel adaptation that succeeds where others have failed due to its vision, ingenuity, and an immaculate lead performance by Wesley Snipes.

We discuss the film's legacy as the first (and arguably best) of Marvel's ventures on the silver screen, the subversive political backbone that drives the film's interior world of elite vampires manipulating the levers of society, and why the sexlessness of modern superhero films spells trouble for any attempts to bring the raw carnality of a Blade story to life.

This week, Bri and Leah are joined by Leah's friend Nick to discuss Blade (1998, dir. Stephen Norrington). We chat about how Blade influenced almost a decade's worth of vampire action movies, whether or not Blade has a social security number, and why bananas late '90s CGI rules, actually. This episode is marked explicit for some f-bombs, as usual. (Because Blade is f'in COOL.)
