Filmwhys #51 The Silence of the Lambs and the Death of the Incredible Hulk
Filmwhys has returned! The intended 1 month-ish hiatus stretched out into 3 months, but we are back and episodes will be coming on a regular basis. In fact, two more episodes have already been recorded and will be posting every other week. No Filmwhys Extras for now, though they may return sporadically in the future. But for now, episode 51 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is David Babbitt from 24 Panels per Second who asks me why I haven’t seen the Silence of the Lambs, one of the few horror films that have won an Academy Award for Best Picture and introduced the world to Anthony Hopkins’ version of Hannibal Lecter. And in return I ask him why he hadn’t seen the Death of the Incredible Hulk, the last of the TV movies from the TV show with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno.

Filmwhys #50 Psycho and The Spirit
Episode 50 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Ryan McNeil from The Matinee who asks me why I hadn’t seen Alfred Hitchcock’s first horror film and one of his greatest, Psycho. And in return, I ask him why he hadn’t seen a superhero film on the opposite end of the spectrum, one of the worst comic book films out there, Frank Miller’s The Spirit. There’s also an important announcement near the beginning of the episode, so give it a listen.

Adventures in Podcasting
Apologies for the lack of posts here lately, Channel: Superhero has been taking up a lot of my free time (and the Sims has taken up a lot of our family computer’s time but that’s another story), but I have been making the rounds on a few other podcasts lately and I wanted the chance to highlight them so you can go check them out, especially since several of them allowed me to talk about things other than superhero movies. I will have another Graphic Horror post in the near future on Dr. Giggles so keep an eye out for that.

Filmwhys #49 An American Werewolf in London and Punisher: War Zone
Episode #49 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Dean from The Science Fiction Film Podcast as well as a couple other podcasts who asks me why I haven’t seen An American Werewolf in London, a classic horror film and one of the best werewolf movies ever made filled with still some of the most impressive practical effects which created a new category in the Academy Awards. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen Punisher: War Zone, one of the many attempts at bringing the Punisher to film, one of the only superhero films to be directed by a woman, and filled with ridiculous to the point of being comedic ultra-violence, even though it’s unfortunately not all that great in the end.

Filmwhys Extra #24 Constantine Season 1
Filmwhys Extra #24 discussing the first season of NBC’s Constantine with web author Stefan Gagne from StefanGagne.com. We talk a little bit about the comic book origins, the Keanu Reeves movie, and the possibility for a season 2. Also, a quick note that the Filmwhys archives have been updated with all of the older episodes through #40, and split up into multiple pages as well so you don’t have to scroll through 40+ poster images to find the episode you’re looking for. The Extra episodes will be updated probably next weekend.

Visiting War Machine vs. War Horse & Mark Millar Adaptations
Things have been a little bit slower than usual around here, mostly due to my work at Channel: Superhero, but I’m still watching quite a few movies and I luckily got the chance to appear on a great podcast called War Machine vs. War Horse which covers a new release and also takes a look at two older films that share some common theme from the new movie and they decide which one of the two older films handles that theme better. For my appearance, we discussed three different Mark Millar comic book adaptations: the new release Kingsman: The Secret Service, and the two earlier films Kick-Ass and Wanted. We also get sidetracked discussing the Roger Corman Bond films, yes I said Corman. It was a lot of fun, both revisiting the movies as well as discussing them. Make sure you give it a listen by clicking right here! or on their logo below.

Filmwhys #48 Bad Boys and Whiteout
Episode 48 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is DJ Valentine from Simplistic Reviews who asks me why I haven’t seen Bad Boys, one of the few great films from Michael Bay that really makes good use of the explosions and the buddy cop formula to help in Will Smith’s rise to stardom. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen Whiteout, a 2009 under the radar thriller set in Antarctica based on a graphic novel.

Filmwhys Extra #23 Podcasting on Podcasts
Filmwhys Extra #23 where my guests are Diamond Dave from The Cool Story Show and Dan Lizette from The Podcast Digest and one thing they both have in common besides being podcasters is that they review podcasts. So we spend this episode discussing podcasts, podcast reviews, things we look for in shows, things we don’t like, and just podcasts in general.

Filmwhys #47 Boyz N the Hood and Robocop
Episode 47 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Shane Slater from Film Actually who asks me why I haven’t seen Boyz N the Hood, the breakout film from director John Singleton loosely about his life in the hood of South Central Los Angeles filled with many breakout performances from now-famous black actors. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen the original Robocop from director Paul Verhoeven which was the ultra-violent 80’s action film with a satirical undercurrent and stellar practical special effects.
