Cinematic Doctrine

PARTY PLEASER:

Will Rose of Systematic Geekology joins Melvin to summarize Spawn, a notoriously bad superhero movie from the 90s! From John Leguizamo imitating Jim Carrey's The Mask, to shockingly bad CGI, the two get into the not-so-good, the pretty dang bad, and the stupendously ugly. It's a trip!
Topics:

• (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 34-minutes discussing Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU as Dr. Doom, and playing a trivia game called "Boo or False?" where, after guessing true or false, Pastor Will Rose has to utilize the trivia fact as a sermon illustration. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
• Will Rose shares a brief history of how the Lord cultivated his enjoyment of comic books into a means for evangelism. Also, surfing!
• As is tradition with most Party Pleaser episodes, the movie begins with a lore-dump to make sure the audience knows what's going on.
• The filmmaking, aesthetic, and basically the whole package feels like a TV-production, not a Hollywood blockbuster.
• Will & Melvin talk about the shockingly bad CGI, something that precedes the film in a lot of online film spaces.
• The subtitles for the film were often adult in nature compared to the actual film, leading Melvin to believe the project was made "PG-13" during editing.
• Will finally realizes why he can't stand John Leguizamo's Clown; he's doing his version of Jim Carrey's The Mask.
• The final fight scene is incomprehensible. Good luck understanding what's happening.
