Over the last few months Mike's been a guest twice of The Kulturecast:
Kong: Skull Island
Mike joined the regular hosts of the
Kulturecast to discuss the return of King Kong and the second part of the American "Monsterverse".
End of Days
Celebrating the Apocalypse with the
Kulturecast, Mike joined the fray to discuss the Arnold Schwarzenegger film
End of Days (1999).
I'm so relieved to finally hear someone else discussing Peter Hyams' The Relic having actually read the original novel and understanding on a "deeper" level why Hyams' version is so terrible. They left out the most interesting character (Pendergast) thus the heart of the story for goodness sake! I kinda understood when I watched the film (just the once) why they did it, but it's still so much worse a movie for it. Actually, I've just noticed that the Pendergast series of books has been released on audiobook, so I think I'll be making a return to Preston/Child's book (pulp goodness!) after eighteen years. Maybe not the film, though.
