In this episode of Geek Girl Soup, we're taking flight with "The Crow"! Join Susan, Kelly, and Cort as we swoop into a deep discussion about the original 1994 cult classic and the much-anticipated 2024 reboot.
🕊️ What’s the same, what’s changed? We’re comparing Eric Draven’s gothic resurrection in the ’90s to the new-age supernatural twists of the latest adaptation. Is the 2024 version a worthy successor, or does it fall flat? We’ve got some thoughts (and a few feathers to ruffle).
🎬 Behind the Feathers: From Bill Skarsgård’s brooding take on the Crow to FKA Twigs’ mysterious presence, we’re breaking down the performances, the visual style, and whether this new Crow can hold a candle to Brandon Lee’s iconic portrayal.
⚔️ Fight Scenes & Feelings: We’ll also discuss the differences in action, atmosphere, and emotional depth between the two films. Did the 2024 Crow give us chills, or just leave us cold? And what about that ending?
🔮 Geeky Tangents: Of course, we can’t help digressing into the world of TV shows, old favorites, and even a little DNC chat (because, why not?).
Join us as we unpack the crow’s nest and figure out if the 2024 version is a murder or just a murmur.
