264: Constantine (a Christploitation flick!)
Manage episode 429652570 series 2515412
Our Heroes discuss the Christploitation flick: Constantine! It's a great nerdy blend of Christian mythology, noir elements, and some standout performances by Peter Stormare, Tilda Swinton, and even the dude from Bush...
We also go on a huge Hostess snack-de-sac to definitively see whether Snowballs are indeed Pink or if White is also acceptable.
In the final part, we discuss the absence of a love story, the character John Constantine and his creator Alan Moore, and other genre films like The Prophecy and Legion. We briefly cover Laz Alonzo, and the upcoming Constantine movie.
Takeaways:- Constantine is part of a micro-genre that includes other films like Prophecy, Devil's Advocate, Hellboy, and others.
- Tilda Swinton is praised for her versatility as an actor. The hosts share random anecdotes and moments from the movie
- The hosts discuss the different colors and flavors of Hostess Snowballs and speculate on the eating preferences of the characters in the movie.
- Many memorable scenes like the cross shotgun and the holy water in the sprinkler system
- John Constantine was created by Alan Moore, who haaates Hollywood.
- Laz Alonzo, who played Mother's Milk in The Boys, had a small role in Constantine.
