Horror Month brings Tread Perilously to the USA Network's 1990s Swamp Thing series and an episode called "A Jury of His Fears." When Anton Arcane is electrocuted following Swamp Thing's latest dismantling of his underwater lab, he finds himself in an in-between state. Unfortunately for Arcane, that place between living and dying presents itself as a courtroom -- and he's the defendant! A jury of his previous victims convenes to decide if the ends justified Arcane's means. Will Anton atone for crimes at least one part of his soul is willing to admit he committed? Will the program itself atone for the hate crime it commits? And will anyone learn the lesson of the Swamp Thing? Noted slashfic author Alan Moore gets referenced once or twice, as does Len Wein. Justin reveals why so many conspiracy theories are believable while Erik decides to believe Quincy Jones's answer to the Kennedy assassination. The films of Edgar Wright get examined.The pair recall the various phases of the USA Network. Justin praises Marvel's Cloak & Dagger for its translation of superhero costumes. Anton Arcane receives the full Fashion Police treatment. Erik recalls the working film studio at Universal Studios Florida and the hostilities toward Denmark resume.

Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster have finally made it to 1989! Unfortunately, they're not talking about Batman just yet. Instead, the first DC superhero movie of this landmark year -- which, coincidentally was also produced by Benjamin Melinker and Michael Uslan -- was The Return of Swamp Thing, a sequel to Wes Craven's original from 1982. The campy follow-up starred Heather Locklear as Abbie Arcane and brought back Dick Durock as Swamp Thing and Louis Jourdan as the evil Anton Arcane (even though he died a movie prior). Joining the cast is Superman II actress Sarah Douglas. They also spend some time lamenting the cancellation of the current incarnation of Swamp Thing on DC Universe and prepare for next week's Batman extravaganza.

Before DC Universe launches their new Swamp Thing, we're taking a look at the first episode of the 1990 live action series that aired on USA! This episode features one of the best scenes in TV history.In 1990, after the success of the two Swamp Thing movies, actor and stuntman Dick Durock took up the mantle again for three seasons on USA. Mark Lindsay Chapman took over the role of Dr. Anton Arcane and the two battled each other in the swamp along with a spare kid Jim and a bunch of mutants in nonsensical plots.If you want to watch Swamp Thing (1990), you can watch it on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI6Ct6cVpuwContact Us!Email: pilotprojectshow@gmail.comInstagram: @pilotprojectpodFacebook: https://fb.me/pilotprojectpodTwitter: @pilotprojectpodVoicemail: (469) 573-2337Subscribe for Free!Apple Podcasts: http://apple.pilotprojectpod.comGoogle Play: http://googleplay.pilotprojectpod.comRSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/pilotprojectpodSpotify: http://spotify.pilotprojectpod.comStitcher: http://stitcher.pilotprojectpod.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In this episode, October is here, Curt and Kevin get into the spirit of the season with a look at the comic-book origins of everyone's favorite muck monster! First up is 1971's House of Secrets #92, a kind of proof of concept giving us a proto-Swamp Thing that's a little light in the swamp department. Next, it's on to Swamp Thing (Vol. 1) #1-3, detailing the (first) origin and early adventures of the swamp monster we all know and love, featuring the debuts of Anton Arcane and his niece Abby. And finally, as a companion piece to our previous Swamp Thing episode, a nod to the character's second origin at the hands of Alan Moore via Swamp Thing Vol. 2 #33, which folds the aforementioned House of Secrets story into contemporary continuity! Can our favorite beast of the bayous prevail against the grotesque Un-Men and the … shall we say familiar figure of the Patchwork Man? And can he slog his way into that protected wildlife preserve known as … the Comics Canon?
