A while ago, we recorded movie commentary tracks for a couple of titles that we enjoy very much. The Crow (1994) Starring, Brandon Lee and Directed by, Alex Proyas and Blade (1998) Starring, Wesley Snipes and Directed by, Stephen Norrington. The conversation about the commentary tracks came up because, Doug mentioned that this year marks the 30th Anniversary of the release of, The Crow. With that, we go over some of the details of each film and talk about the potential to do some other tracks for other films down the line.

Erik recently read the limited comic series, Girls by Jonathan and Joshua Luna, published by Image Comics between 2005 and 2007. The book is a story of the people of Pennystown, a community of 63 who are cut off from the rest of the world and attacked by a group of naked, flesh eating, egg-laying women, as well as other bizarre dangers. Erik gives a run down of the comic and gets, Doug's reaction to various story points.
