If you know Kim, you know how many activities she is involved with. One of those activities is the Movies and Tea podcast with her co-host Elwood. Kim and Elwood break their show into seasons, with each season focusing on a different director’s filmography. This season, they are discussing films directed by Guillermo del Toro. In their most recent episode, the pair discussed Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army and have shared it with the blogathon. Have a listen below and head over to their archive to listen to the rest of their discussions.
Having already dabbled with a comic book movie with Blade 2, Del Toro’s return to the genre was much more of a passion project as he choose to adapt Mike Mignola’s cult indie comic Hellboy while at the same time bringing his own spin to the character and world he inhabits.
Joining us for this episode is Comic Book Movie expert Bubbawheat (Flights, Tights and Movie Nights) as we look at both films while asking what could have been if Del Toro had been able to finish his trilogy.
We also discuss Black Panther getting an Oscar nomination, question if the market for comic book movies is over saturated and ask who is the best Del Toro villain plus much more!
