ONCE UPON A TIME THE SUPERHEROES ****½

Original Title: De Superman à Spider-Man: L'aventure des super-héros
Canada/France: Michel Viotte, 2002

IMDB reference

ONCE UPON A TIME THE SUPERHEROES is a fascinating and seemingly overlooked documentary about the history, evolution and lasting legacy of comic book superheroes. This documentary film comprises of interviews with several key figures from comic industry giants DC and Marvel. Moreover, it showcases a treasure trove of superhero comic book art, animation and live action.

The Count's Verdict: Arguably the best documentary I've seen on the topic thus far.

MOVIE MATTERS PODCAST - EP 15 'RED RIDING TRILOGY SPECIAL - 1974, 1980 & 1983'


After an unexpected hiatus, the Movie Matters podcast returns with a look at the RED RIDING trilogy, the critically acclaimed 2009 adaptation of David Peace's grim and grisly quartet of novels. Co-hosts Lee Howard and Michael Mackenzie look at each instalment in turn - Julian Jarrold's 1974, James Marsh's 1980 and Anand Tucker's 1983 - and offer their thoughts on the trilogy as a whole.



The music sampled in this episode is from RED RIDING: 1974 by Adrian Johnston, RED RIDING: 1980 by Dickon Hinchliffe and RED RIDING: 1983 by Barrington Pheloung.

Created by Lee Howard & Michael Mackenzie
Edited by Michael Mackenzie
Special thanks to George Fearns for the episode idea
