In 2008, during the throes of a TV writer's strike, Joss Whedon and a small team released the mini-series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, a short musical which comments and subverts superhero movies.
In this episode, we look at the mini-series and discuss the ways in which it anticipates modern superhero films. We examine how it adheres to and diverts from Campbell's "monomyth", and we talk about the music and the role it plays in the project.
Hope you enjoy!
PS: Sorry this is late and that Nathaniel and Gregg sound like they're underwater. It's been a tough remote recording
