Nearly New World: Black Scorpion featuring Chris Iannacone

Marc's Miserable Marvelous May takes a turn towards Sexy Town with 1995's Black Scorpion.  We're joined by Joan Severance super-fan and host of Get Me Another Podcast, Chris Iannacone.  Made for Showtime, Black Scorpion is the first in a series of made-for-cable movies and a series.  As Chris wisely points out, "it's Batman for Skinamax". Black Scorpion may not be what you're expecting and that's what makes it so much fun. Darcy Walker (Black Scorpion) is on a mission to rid Angel City of evildoers and "do" her former police partner.  While he is worried about a potential HR violation, she knows that with some latex and an eye mask, he'll never know it's her. This brings up a legitimate question.  If your co-worker or friend or spouse put on a mask and proceeded to romance you, would you think it was a completely different person?  Be honest.We also really show our age with this episode.  We talk about the challenges of trying to get through a 2 and a half hour movie in one sitting when your getting up there in years.  There are two Robert Eurich references.  We discuss the reboot of Love Boat and Side Out, the best volleyball movie ever made.There is an above average amount of "dongle talk".  We get a visit by Jan from HR.  We also flesh out a little more planning for Steamin'.  We're looking for body doubles (especially in the wang department.  We're also looking for financing.  Steamin' demands a big budget.  And big wangs.  Please help us realize our dreams.For more about the New World Pictures Podcast, including previous episodes, t-shirts, mugs, sweatshirts, other merch and more, we DARE YOU to head here: https://newworldpicturespodcast.com/For all the shows in Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network, head here:  https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/
