Big Trouble In Little Podcast
This week on Big Trouble and Little Podcast, the crew reviews Hellboy (2004) directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Ron Perlman as the iconic comic book hero.
We break down why Hellboy still holds up today, from the practical effects and monster design to Ron Perlman’s perfect performance as Hellboy. We also talk about the film’s biggest weakness—the villain—and how the movie still works despite it. The discussion dives into the supporting cast including John Hurt, Doug Jones, and Jeffrey Tambor, along with del Toro’s signature visual style and the dark fantasy tone that makes the movie stand out among early 2000s comic book films.
After the review, the conversation goes everywhere: Hellboy sequels, Superman (1978), Disney movies, My Dinner with Andre, Fallout 4, Happy Gilmore 2, Gundam, Resident Evil, and more.
If you enjoy movie reviews, comic book discussions, gaming talk, and off-the-rails podcast conversations, you’re in the right place.
