Summary

Chris, Ian, Murd and Shane present you all with a Halloween treat, no trick, in the form of a Retro Movie review of 1998's slice 'em and dice 'em vampire classic, Blade. We delve deep into this progenitor of today's standard of comic book movie adaptations, and try and figure out if it holds up after all these years. With a reboot looming on the horizon, will Wesley Snipes remain the version of Blade everyone will think of first? Is Donal Logue the best character actor around? Grab your ice skates, because we're ready to give it a try uphill. Just don't forget your sunblock, or you might get burned. (1:31:25)
