Episode 39-Spawn (1997)

We're back folks with a Lucas pick this time! We're talking Spawn from 1997: the film that probably should have ended toy collecting maker Todd McFarlen's career quite honestly... When Al Simmons is betrayed, he strikes a deal with Hell ruler Malbolgia to avenge his name in return for leading Hell's army. But things don't go exactly smooth for Al as he comes to grips with his new destiny as a Hellspawn. When faced with the reality of what his purpose will do, Al must decide if he shall give in to Hell's wishes or become a guardian of justice while taking down old boss Jason Wynn and Malgolgia's lieutenant The Violator (John Liguizamo). How does this rank in the pantheon of comic books films? Does it deserve its reputation as a god awful train wreck? Why is Lucas laughing at Cordell's suffering and disdain for this movie? Listen now as we violate this questionable piece of comic book cinema history and send it straight to Hell where it belongs....yay.
