Hello Movies, My Old Friend: Episode 113 - Spawn

For October's episode of HELLO MOVIES, MY OLD FRIEND Ray and Rob are revisiting one of the most infamous flops of the last 30 years, the 1997 Superhero film SPAWN! This adaptation of the Todd McFarlane comic series centers on Al Simmons (played by Micheal Jai White), a mercenary for hire who sells his allegiance to the devil after he dies in a double-cross on a mission in Asia. John Lequizamo (MOULIN ROUGE!, JOHN WICK) delivers a memorable performance as The Violator, a demon charged with recruiting Al, as well as set up the dominoes to bring on the war to end the world. With supporting performances by D.B Sweeney (THE CUTTING EDGE, EIGHT MEN OUT) and Golden Globe Winner Martin Sheen (THE DEPARTED, THE WEST WING) SPAWN was a film of the moment, and one that begs to be re-evaluated! 

Will the aged effects and the lackluster adaptation prove to truly be a let down? Or will SPAWN show to be a diamond in the rough that deserves more respect? Tune in this week to find out!
