Episode 37 - Sylvester Stallone Special - Part 2

Almost 20 years ago our #1 Stallone fan, Steve V., did a special in college to honor his film idol and it always bothered him he had to end with Stop or My Mom Will Shoot! Guess what? That's exactly where Part 2 of our multi-part Stallone special ends on. Poor Steve. He's much more excited about Part 3!

It's a family affair on the new episode of GFR as Carlos and son Kyle discuss music featured on the trailers for some of the most hotly anticipated films of this summer and previous summers, such as X-Men First Class, Star Trek and Terminator Salvation. Why does some music never make the film itself?

Some Brief Thoughts About Thor - by Steve Vivona

 

    Admittedly I’m a little biased when it comes to the Marvel stable of heroes and their cinematic presentations. Like a Lucas apologist, I found the good in more middling efforts like the FF and Daredevil. I loved Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk (Ang Lee’s Hulk, not so much). Iron Man 2 didn’t blow my skirt up, but I dug it.

    I loved Thor and here’s why. Perhaps no other Marvel character poses the kind of challenge presented by the God of Thunder. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created a fantastic universe rooted in Norse mythology heightened by Lee’s over-the-top prose and Kirby’s stunning visuals (the like of which had never been seen before). Twenty years later, Walt Simonson augmented Lee and Kirby with a unique touch that breathed new life into the character, and most recently, J. Michael Straczynski gave the God of Thunder a staggeringly unique polish (did anyone catch his cameo?)
