Saturday Night Freak Show

Sean swings into action with the face-swapping superhero Darkman (1990)! Before Marvel would turn him loose on Spider-Man, director Sam (Evil Dead) Raimi came up with his own cinematic superhero story, that of brilliant scientist Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson), who is transformed into a vengeful, bandage-wrapped creature after a band of thugs torches his lab. Listen as we connect dots between the superhero movies of the pre-Marvel Cinematic Era, examine the parallel careers of both Rami and Tim Burton, and more on this week's exciting episode!
