It's fun actually, but ATDI nostalgia blinds me. Like I own Omar's solo stuff, it could be 45 minutes of farts and I'd be like "This is a fine return to form!"

Also I blame the Crow for my attraction to skinny pale boys with long hair.

I'm actually polishing off an audio script for a contest now, and have had one produced, so I know a little about the still-small but growing community in America (podcasting and Audible and such have helped A LOT). There's at least one company that can actually afford to pay people now!

The Crow is great, not for Brandon Lee (I mean he's fine but whatever) but for Michael Wincott's performance as Top Dollar.

And also for the comically incongruous message about how drugs are bad but murderous revenge sprees are awesome.

Because I think it's pretty interesting that the central conceit of Carrie is that someone who is bullied and abused and pushed too far has access to a power that people don't expect or have a way to defend against. It's thematically identical to a school shooting, and yet it's really common for people to sympathize with Carrie in a way that would be much less socially acceptable if the mechanism of her wrath was less fantastic.

EDIT: Overall this is a great piece that's really let down by its middle. You interested in critique outside of the sound mixing and design, or are you keeping it to those areas right now?

Yea nothing we can do now about the middle. Maybe bump up the levels of the phone and add some ambient noises, but is what is haha.

Thank you for watching!

The Crow movie and comic are to being around 16 year old as Spaceballs is to being around 13 years old. At that age it will be the best thing ever and if your watch it for the first time later than that it will be a mystery why anyone would like it.

I do think The Crow is at least well made though, it's just a gothy corny story with heaping helping of Hollywood badness thrown in for good measure

Yeah, it's a great movie, but I don't feel bad saying the score elevates it. My bestie is a giant Conan fan, and I got her the soundtrack that came out a few years back. It's really great.

Lost his leg in Robo War I
The Wraith's dense confluence of similar-looking mulleted white dudes across different narrative threads, timelines, and spectral planes made the story very confusing to me for the first half of the film.

The Wraith is a film deeply compromised by having competing narratives: "I've come back from the dead to urge you to stand up for yourself, girl! But also, I'm gonna kill your abusive partner in a lethal drag race."

edit: The Wraith takes place in the 80's vision of the 50's vision of the 80's.

The Wraith ends with the protagonist giving another character a parting gift of a futuristic car directly linked to multiple homicides
