GEMMA One answer would be to have not just one, not just two, but more than two exploding helicopters, I think. It’s like, how do you top the style? That would be like, you know, how do you take it a step further without being too earnest? That’ll be the real challenge. You know, we’ll still have to do a few snap zooms and fast whip pans right and left to get screaming reactions.

JOSH Yeah, you know, I would love to-when, I’ll just say when, not if-when I do my Darkman. That’s probably one of my favorite scenes in the entire movie. And they you know, when he cracks that guy’s arm, and the camera just like zooms on their action. SLIM In watching it last week, you get that kind of like Raimi, you know, zany shock moment with that elephant scene. PEYTON I was standing right here with my girlfriend. It don’t count unless you’re behind that line. I mean, what not to love?ĪTTENDANT Sorry buddy. Like isn’t that everything you need to know? On top of the fact that Frances McDormand is the damsel in distress, which she hated.

JOSH I mean, Liam Neeson playing a superhero but also doing a full rage breakdown about a stuffed pink elephant. How would you pitch it? What’s the pitch? And you know, I just, I went in blind based on the fact that we were talking to you today.

So if you were pitching people on Sam Raimi’s Darkman, who are blissfully like me until a week ago, unaware of it. SLIM Letterboxd officially owns the rights to that now. Clive Barker probably copy wrote it 25 years ago, there’s probably a Ghoul Man, just like there’s an Ectokid. But make it you know, like, excuse that it’s-Ghoulman! There you go. JOSH Yeah, I’m gonna have to figure out my clever, like, noun. GEMMA You could keep saying it, or you could do what Sam Raimi and Ted Raimi and Rob Tapert have done and create a universe of your own that includes Evil Dead and Xena and Hercules and the list goes on.

And I think it’s pretty ripe for a remake and I’m gonna just gonna keep saying it on Twitter, and reminding people that the movie exists until someone gives me the opportunity. I’d come up with a brilliant idea, basically the Phantom of the Opera, but superhero. SLIM In digging in around the movie, you had mentioned it, but what I didn’t realize is that Sam Raimi-just like you said-he couldn’t get the rights to Batman, or The Shadow and he’s like, eff this, I’m just gonna make my own movie. It has 24 fans, which means 24 people have it in their favorites right now. SLIM I feel like it came out maybe 30 years ahead of its time. Any combination of those words, it’s just it’s been a while. I think it’s I think it’s time for like a dark horror, comedy hero, you know? Or comedic, dark horror hero. I figured, you know, if we’re in the world of Deadpool, like the Marvel superhero who can like you know, drop F-bombs, and we can see all that the fun violence of it all. And it’s holds up so beautifully well! It’s so original. I revisited it recently because I thought I remembered that I wore the VHS tape into the ground as a kid and forgot about it. JOSH Oh, I mean, yeah! You don’t just come up with something like Darkman, and not be disappointed that you didn’t get to make Batman, which I think is what Sam Raimi’s situation was. But is Darkman the greatest comic book movie ever made that’s not based on a comic book? Be honest with us. GEMMA My first question, Josh, is about your number one movie, which we’ll get into in detail. SLIM I’m gonna include all three of those. Josh writes in his review of Darkman that it is “still imaginative and fun as hell.” On with the show. But also, and just as importantly, Josh is here to defend his four Letterboxd favorites, which are Darkman, Jaws, Little Children and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. In his own five star Letterboxd review of Werewolves Within he writes, ‘I’m biased, but.’ So Josh is with us to talk Werewolves and scary laughs or laughy-scares. He is an actor, writer, director, College Humor legend, Kevin Bacon enthusiast annnd Letterboxd member! Josh’s new film comedy horror Werewolves Within starring Sam Richardson as a park ranger with a werewolf problem is out now in US theaters and On Demand platforms. GEMMA Today we are escaping the snowy woods and going back onto the beach with filmmaker Josh Ruben.
