"What would the world be like without Captain Hook?"
Alan and Rob return after five years in deep space a brief hiatus to talk all about the beloved (depending on what age you are!) holiday classic “Hook” about an older Peter Pan, played by the late great Robin Williams. The lads discuss Williams’ legendary real-life friendship with Christopher Reeve and the film’s many similarities with the legend of Superman. Has the film aged well? Why does Steven Spielberg not care for it? How come Bob Hoskins is so awesome?
PLUS! A bumper catch-up discussion on all the big DC comics and TV shows that have been in the ether while we've been away! We discuss The Penguin, the excellent prose novel “Batman Resurrection” and Rob gives his thoughts on the much talked-about finale of “Superman & Lois”! All this plus plenty of comic book discussion!
STAY TUNED LATER THIS WEEK when we will be BACK to discuss a very anticipated trailer…
