About Now Playing Podcast Presents: The Blade Retrospective Series
Marvel had tried, and failed, many times for cinematic glory. But Fantastic Four, Punisher, Captain America, even Howard the Duck, none would make movigoers say "Make Mine Marvel" until they got a half-vampire in a leather trench coat clearing nightclubs. Part martial arts showcase, part gothic horror, part early-era comic book gamble, Blade helped set the stage for everything that followed.
Now Playing Podcast now slices into the entire Blade series. Our hosts break down the bloodshed, the mythology, the shifting tones, and the fake-out deaths to decide how much credit this series deserves for the modern superhero boom.
After the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague, a desperate group of survivors discover the key to bringing an end to the super-powered undead, racing across a dystopian landscape and risking life and limb to save their world.
