Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael J White

Von Spinnen-Phobien, Höllen-CGI und Special Guest André Hecker! Von nervösen Hosts, skurrilen Kino-Erlebnissen und einem höllischen 90er-Jahre-Kultfilm! Heute gibt's eine Special-Folge, denn Timo und (ein sichtlich nervöser) Zeljko haben sich Verstärkung geholt! Zu Gast ist Horror-Experte, Podcaster und die Stimme hinter "Devils & Demons" und "Genre Geschehen": André Hecker. Nach der Begrüßung tauchen die drei direkt in die Welt des Horrors ein. André erzählt von seinem extremen Filmkonsum – für ihn ist das ganze Jahr Oktober! Er erklärt, warum er lieber einen schlechten Horrorfilm als einen schlechten Actionfilm schaut und wie er es schafft, bei der Menge an Filmen nicht abzustumpfen. Als ersten Film hat André HIM im Gepäck. Er stellt klar, dass es sich um eine Jordan-Peele-Produktion (Monkeypaw) handelt, nicht um einen Peele-Regiefilm. Die Geschichte um einen aufstrebenden Football-Star hat für ihn zwar spannende Ansätze und starke Darsteller (Marlon Wayans!), wirkt aber insgesamt etwas unentschlossen. Das führt die Runde zu einer unterhaltsamen Diskussion über skurrile Kino-Erlebnisse – von mitgebrachten Sofas bis hin zu Bierkisten bei New Kids Turbo. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Exkurs über Phobien: Während André von seiner Angst vor Verfolgung (Danke, It Follows!) und Spinnen berichtet, überrascht Timo mit der Info, dass er früher über 300 Vogelspinnen gehalten hat – inklusive Fachwissen über die "Buchlungen" der Achtbeiner. Hauptthema ist aber der 90er-Jahre-Kultfilm Spawn, den André frisch im Director's Cut auf 4K gesehen hat. Einig sind sich alle: Der Film ist ein absolutes Kind seiner Zeit. Das CGI sieht heute aus wie eine "PlayStation 1 Cutscene", aber John Leguizamo als fieser Clown und der Soundtrack sind legendär. Sie diskutieren über den unterschätzten Michael J. White, die Parallelen zu Blade und die Hoffnung, dass die Figur Spawn in einem modernen, düsteren Reboot endlich das bekommt, was sie verdient. Eine vollgepackte Folge mit einem fantastischen Gast, tiefen Einblicken ins Horror-Genre und einer nostalgischen (und kritischen) Rückschau auf einen Antihelden-Klassiker. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – jeden Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt!
