Summary

To celebrate it now being over 20 years since its release, Aaron and Derek are joined by returning guest Lauren Willson to tackle 2005's supernatural action flick "Constantine" directed by Francis Lawrence and adapted from the "Hellblazer" comic book series. They talk about how the Constantine character balances being edgy and taking the classic hero's journey. They also get into the stylistic choices of the movie, how Keanu Reeves makes this version of the character his own, the amazing smaller performances, differences between this film and the comic, and many other aspects of the movie. Lauren believes in you. Aaron and Derek are the punchline.We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio and CastBox.
