The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (w/Ben Gillcrist)

What Were They Thinking?

The guys finally tackle the notorious flop and the film that made Sean Connery quit acting - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Joining the fellas is Nathan's Jason in the form of Ben Gillcrist, history buff at large. After Ben talks about his frustration with the historical inaccuracies, the guys also discuss Alan Moore's strategy at detaching himself from adaptations of his work, Mina Harker being reduced to a side character, Dorian Gray having old man qualities, the incredibly fake explosions and MUCH more.

Next week: Christmas in July! Thanks to Megan Miller!
