The Crow (1994)
This Is Rad!
This week the boyz are joined by Dustin Meadows and Michelle Weiser to chat about the 1994 seminal goth masterpiece, The Crow. The movie exists in the shadow of a tragic back story and sometimes feels a little lost in modern genre cinema. A not so great remake this year was a bit of a bummer but as a positive, it has sent many folks back to watch the original. Both Kyle and Michelle share their discovery of the film later in life, while Dustin discusses has encounters with the movie on VHS as a teen. We also chat about the glorious soundtrack and James O'Barr's original comic. Some fun...
