Every time someone farts, a demon gets his wings, and this week there are a lot of flying demons after we revisited the notorious 1997 stinker Spawn. At least one member of the Film Junk crew was very excited to see this movie on initial release. Was the force feed successful back then and does it hold up any better now? Listen as we reminisce about the Toddfather's comics and toy empire, the electronica / nu-metal soundtrack, vomit-inducing early CG, PG-13 movies for edgelords and the state of comic book movies back in the '90s. You have been violated little girly man. For a limited time only, you too can have this week's podcast for the eensy price of your soul and a buttload of pain.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens after the lights come up in a theater, or when you're driving home from a double feature. It's that mix of genuine critique, personal anecdote, and the kind of loose, often hilarious tangents that only happen among friends who share a deep, if sometimes exasperated, love for movies. That's the feeling you get with the Film Junk Podcast. For years, the voices from FilmJunk.com have been gathering weekly to do just that: dissect the latest blockbusters and hidden gems, argue over cinematic merits and failures, and generally get lost in the weeds of film culture with a sharp comedic edge. This isn't a formal lecture or a dry recap; it's the sound of a long-running discussion you get to drop in on, where reviews are delivered with personality and the banter feels authentic. Tuning into this podcast means joining a conversation that covers everything from the week's new releases in TV and film to broader industry quirks, all filtered through a lens that's as likely to offer a thoughtful insight as it is to crack a perfectly timed joke. It’s like having a standing appointment with a group of friends who are always ready to talk about what’s on screen.
