from THE PRETTY LITTLE PODCAST! · host Deadbeat Chad, Chucky Sleaze, Just Jess
Comic books in the 90's ushered in a new breed of super-hero. Darker, edgier, angrier, and in Todd McFarlane's case, weirder. From the independent exodos that became Image comics comes their flagship title: Spawn. When CSA Soldier, Al Simmons, is betrayed by the government agency that created him, he is murdered and sent to hell. Once there, he makes a deal with the devil to come back to earth to see his wife, Wanda. But, Malbolgia himself has spent the past 5 years crafting a life for him to come back to that will break his will to stay and follow through with Hell's plan to have Al lead Malbolgia's army into Armageddon. Now forced to come to terms that he has been dead for 5 years, Al Simmons is lost to the moniker that is Hellspawn, and must find a way to keep his humanity while wanting unrelenting justice for those responsible for his death. Chad and Jess are here today to talk about the HBO animated Series Spawn, as well as the lesser appreciated live action film of the same name, but Chad loves anyway. Stay Pretty!
