About this episode

The episode revisits the 1997 film Spawn, discussing its impact and legacy.

Every time someone farts, a demon gets his wings, and this week there are a lot of flying demons after we revisited the notorious 1997 stinker Spawn. At least one member of the Film Junk crew was very excited to see this movie on initial release. Was the force feed successful back then and does it hold up any better now? Listen as we reminisce about the Toddfather's comics and toy empire, the electronica / nu-metal soundtrack, vomit-inducing early CG, PG-13 movies for edgelords and the state of comic book movies back in the '90s. You have been violated little girly man. For a limited time only, you too can have this week's podcast for the eensy price of your soul and a buttload of pain.
