Episode 28 - Holding Out For A Hero
You either die a hero...or live long enough to see your adaptation hit the big screen! Rod and Raf are joined by fellow Torontonian, comic book writer (he's written for Marvel!!) cinema aficionado and overall, awesome dude, Anthony Oliveira. The three venture into a world of all things superhero; from the Marvels and DC worlds to even the Kickasses, Inspector Gadgets and Homelanders out there; there's some kind of secret to the success, right? It isn't just copy and paste, right? Maybe so, Maybe we're tired of everything. Maybe in the next 15-20 years, all the films will be a copy and paste of the Marvel formula (I hope not) Also, is Disney/Pixar's latest offering not gay enough? We sound off all that and more, tune in!
