The Crow

Astral Flight Simulation

For Halloween, my guest and I discuss one of the most iconic Gen X movies ever, The Crow. We both love the movie, but we wonder if it holds up for later generations because it was so "of the time." Despite its weaknesses, we feel the strength of the source material, the character, and the aesthetic is enough to earn it a place in film history and deserves a resurgence in the current wave of 90's nostalgia. We are of course, extremely biased.
We expected to talk music a lot more, and Nine Inch Nails comes up, but stay tuned for the last 30 minutes, where we veer off to discuss comic books from the late 80's and early 90's. James O'barr wrote one of the best comics of all time, that we feel greatly influenced comics forever after. If you listen to this episode and haven't read the comic, we hope it inspires you to go and do so, its well worth it.

Follow my guest JZ Delorean at Enjoyer.com, he writes articles about the underside of Detroit metro life, and he was the perfect guest for this show because, as you'll hear, he was reading The Crow comic as it was being published by the Detroit comic shop that O'barr hung out at in the 80's, and talks about in many interviews.
