48: Spawn of the Ninja Turtles

Double Edged Double Bill has done episodes on Marvel and DC Comics adaptations, but what about the films based on comic books outside the big two? Given a new Hellboy movie is on the horizon along with several other comic book films this month, Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani decided to do a double feature of independent comic book film adaptations with returning guest Torrey Depina! The good feature is 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the first cinematic adaptation of the anthropomorphic shelled beings. The bad is 1997's Spawn which brought Todd McFarlane's edgy demonic character to life... before killing it pretty instantaneously. Together, our trio contemplates the brunch habits of Casey Jones, declares that Spawn was the origin point of CGI hate and pick the films for next week's episode where we revisit the fantasy film genre! So grab that last slice of pizza and listen in on this radical discussion!
