Splattercast 95: Die, Darkman, Die!
September 8th, 2008 by MaT
In the annals of moviedom, there are few stories as seminal as Darkman and its 2 sequels. Darkman vs. Durant is pretty much the foundation for which all classic hero/villain relationships are judged. With that completely false statement in mind, Deejay, Steve, T.J., Jeff, and I delve into Universal’s Darkman Trilogy. Begun with Sam Raimi and ending with Bradford May (who, believe it or not, was the cinematographer of Fred Dekker’s The Monster Squad), we slip on our synthetic skin and try our best to get this episode done in under 99 minutes. Will we succeed? Will Kim Delaney get whacked by Larry Drake? Will Darkman start backing up his research on more than one floppy disc? Listen to find out….

Did I recommend the Darkman series? I don’t remember, all I know is I’ve been pushing for ‘We’re Going to Eat You’ to be included in the cannibal movie episode

I just finished a listen, good job guys. I sometimes think there might be too many cooks in the kitchen and when you all talk at once, I miss a golden nugget of humor, but I do enjoy the differing oppinions and TJ’s voice from LA. keep up the good work, boys. I’m looking forward to next week’s cast, I heart werewolf movies.

Hmm, was that Depeche Mode unplugged at the beginning or a cover (by who)?

The cast did indeed begin with a cover of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” by Failure. I highly recommend Failure’s Fantastic Planet as well as recommending that you not try heroin.

I remember referring to the Darkman NES game as “Squeeky Shoes”, because his shoes would squeek every second, not to mention glide across the concrete and slide as well. It was like he was walking of fuckig ice for fuck sake!
