“Adapted from the comic book saga of the same name, this action-packed thriller from director Alex Proyas (Dark City) features hypnotic style, dazzling visuals, and a soulful performance by the late Brandon Lee. Bonus content with the feature: Production designer Alex McDowell revisits the goth masterpiece, taking us on a deep dive covering all facets of designing the film.”

Roger Corman (1926-2024)

Hollywood, filmmaking, horror, indie film, pop culture, the language of film, the understanding of art, the understanding of filmmaking, none of it would be the same were it not for Roger Corman. He’s a juggernaut that’s left behind a massive legacy and imprint on how we view movies. He will be very sorely missed.

He is survived by his wife Julie and children Catherine, Roger, Brian and Mary, and the countless legions of fans, film buffs, and aspiring filmmakers that he’s inspired with his enthusiasm for film, and love of storytelling.

Thank you, Roger Corman.

Rest in Power, sir.

Now Available on Paperback and Kindle, in the 1990’s the concept of superhero entertainment was still considered a big gamble for major studios like Sony and Warner Bros. Superheroes and their live action counterparts were confined to television series, and low budget productions, giving way to a slew of colorful, odd, and obscure crime fighters. “Super Schlock” takes a tongue in cheek but loving look back to a decade where Blank Man and the Planet Patrol walked so that blockbusters like “The Avengers” and “Black Panther” could run.
