The Whatnauts

Episode 20. Finally, Melissa makes good on her threat to make Kyle watch Sam Raimi's Darkman! This 1990 movie is an original story that plays on pulp comic tropes, featuring goons galore, vats of acid, and a hero who may be more monster than man. This leads us to discuss Jingle All the Way, a museum of henchmen, Tuxedo Mask, why DC Comics character The Question looks like that, and other stories we wish took place in Megalopolis. We also talk about new releases Coyote vs. ACME and Resident Evil, the Emmy awards, how the sinkhole underneath Nicolas Cage's real house should inspire National Treasure 3, replacing movie marketing with an informational newsletter that all adults are required to read, and Daffy Duck: Origins.
