Diving into “Deadpool”: Screwball Comedy with a Superhero Twist
Manage episode 420855734 series 3563599
S01 E08 What do a foul-mouthed antihero the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s have in common? Join Tony and Brad for a hilarious discussion about Tony's first Marvel film experience, "Deadpool" (2016). While Brad shares his insights on the history of the character, Tony can’t help but gush over Ryan Reynolds' irreverent charms. Listen as they dissect the bold contrast between traditional superhero fare and the whip-smart, dirty humor that makes "Deadpool" stand out.
Marvel Comics’ roller-coaster journey through the 1990s could be an epic tale on its own. From Marvel’s financial woes that led to selling off valuable character rights, to Ryan's dogged determination and some ‘accidental’ leaked footage that turned the tide, with persistence, creativity, and a bit of luck, giving new depth to the Deadpool phenomenon.
