Filmwhys Casting Call for Fans of Obscure & Unloved Superhero Movies
Hello fellow superhero movie fans! I’m beginning a new series of Filmwhys Extra podcast episodes and I am looking for guests. Each episode of this series will take a look at a single superhero movie through the eyes of the fans that love it. Now, this would be an easy thing to do for films like Iron Man, Spider-Man, or the Dark Knight. No, what I am aiming for are the more obscure and cult films like Griff the Invisible, Tank Girl, or Sky High. That as well as the films that aren’t typically well regarded by movie fans like the Fantastic Four, Ang Lee’s Hulk, Supergirl, or Daredevil. I’m currently building a guest list and hope to record and post the first episode by the end of April. What I’m looking for are people, preferably with some podcasting experience or at least a microphone that’s not embedded into a laptop who want to talk about one of these films. Once I get around to one of those movies, I will start contacting guests to set up recording times, generally no longer than 15-20 minutes. I would especially like to include as many female voices as I can since it often feels like podcasting is dominated by male voices. If you are interested, leave a comment below mentioning what film or films you would be interested in discussing, or you can e-mail me at Bubbawheat@msn.com, and please share this post with anyone you know who might be interested in joining as well.
Filmwhys #67 Notorious and The Shadow
Episode 67 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Kristen Lopez from Journeys in Classic Film among various other sites who asks me why I hadn’t seen Notorious, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s great tales of intrigue and suspense with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. In return, I ask her why she hadn’t seen The Shadow, the 90’s revamp of the classic radio drama starring Alec Baldwin set in the 20’s with an oddly classic Hollywood feel to it though it was set in New York.

Filmwhys #66 Cloverfield and Superman and the Mole Men
Episode 66 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is James Thompson from the Meanwhile… podcast who asks me why I hadn’t seen Cloverfield, one of the first twists on the found footage style of filmmaking and an attempt to give the US a giant monster worthy of Godzilla from producer JJ Abrams. And in return, I ask him why he hadn’t seen Superman and the Mole Men, the first feature length superhero film ever made and the precursor to the long running Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves.

Filmwhys #65 Black Dynamite and Hancock
The Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Adrian King from Adrian Has Issues who asks me why I hadn’t seen Black Dynamite, the pitch perfect send up of 70’s Blaxploitation films made in 2009 by Michael Jai White. And in return, I ask him why he hadn’t seen Hancock, the film where Will Smith plays Superman if he were a jerk who drank too much and didn’t remember who he was until he randomly found his wife who was also super powered but was hiding it all this time. It’s weird, but the first half works. Also a bonus to bring things back just a little bit to Black History month with a double shot of Black cinema even though Will Smith is the only Black character in Hancock.

Filmwhys #64 Unforgiven and Watchmen
The Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Dwight Hurst from the Broken Brain Podcast who asks me why I hadn’t seen Unforgiven, one of Clint Eastwood’s highly regarded films that kicked off his older years before he mostly retired from acting to direct and created a spin on the Western where there aren’t really any white hats and black hats. And in return, I ask him why he hadn’t seen Watchmen, the adaptation of one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Even though it’s not highly regarded by everyone, it’s as close as an adaptation to the work as possible while still being an entertaining piece of work.

Filmwhys #63 The Rock and the Dark Knight Returns
The Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is James Lindorf from Channel: Superhero who asks me why I hadn’t seen the Rock, one of Michael Bay’s best movies that actually utilize the action movie tropes in the best way possible and have the best parts of Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery along with a bit of Ed Harris to seal the deal. And in return, I ask him why he hadn’t seen the Dark Knight Returns, Parts 1 & 2 which had come out recently but are some of the best work from DC Animation in recent years that takes on one of the most iconic Batman comic book arcs in recent history.

Filmwhys #62 Leon and the Amazing Spider-Man
The Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Hadas from The Common Room who asks me why I hadn’t seen Leon aka The Professional, one of the best films from Luc Besson which introduced the world to the amazing actress Natalie Portman. And in return, I ask her why she hadn’t seen the Amazing Spider-Man, the quickly rebooted, then tossed aside origin story that gets some things right when compared to the Raimi trilogy but messes other things up instead.
