RSS Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 In this huge episode of Dread Media, Desmond interviews Vincenzo Natali about his upcoming film Splice, and his classic dark sci-fi work, Cube. Then DW is back, and he and Desmond talk about Stargate: Atlantis, their in-development werewolf / vampire buddy cop show, and, oh yeah, the Cube series. Hint: the first film's really good, one of the films is really bad, and it wouldn't be a DW / Desmond discussion if they didn't disagree about something. Then the show is rounded out with an off-the-cuff What Music They Make, paying tribute to the metal legend Ronnie James Dio. Tunes include: "Hybrid Moments" by The Misfits, "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains, "CUBErt" by System of a Down, and "Holy Diver" and "Scream" by DIO. RIP Ronnie James Dio.

Guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Halfway through the discussion, I did look up Captain Power, and it turns out we did get it in the States after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 It's probably one of those things where you have to be the exact right age at the exact time the thing is airing. Never caught on like Thundercats or anything like that. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzilla Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Just finished the interview with Vincenzo Natali (someone my fuzzy brain insisted was VINCENT Natali for a few years) and it was AWESOME. Excellent work Des. Natali comes across as a really smart and down-to-earth (as well as HONEST) artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Though I didn't realize it until yesterday, I've seen all of the Cube films. Thanks to the Sci-Fi Channel constantly showing the movie, I saw the original in pieces over the years. It never much impressed me, however. But I watched it from start to finish last night, and now my opinion of it has grown. Some of the acting is over-the-top, the heel turn is lame, and the ending I don't like at all, but it's still a movie I wouldn't mind watching again. I have no idea what was going on in Cube 2: Hypercube. And, yeah, the digital effects look awful! And Cube Zero, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I've seen all of it. I know for a fact I've seen the first 15-ish minutes, but I don't remember much more than that. Good show, guys. More DW on DM, please!

Dread Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Good show, guys. More DW on DM, please! I can probably help you with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Mega bump. Just listened to this today after an exchange in the “every film” thread with @Dread. Great episode. I liked the point @D.W. made that if this was made today we would have an explanation of what exactly the Cube is and who made it and why. I admit that the first time I saw this I didn’t like that it was never explained, probably because I am so used to having things explained. But not having it explained draws you into the movie more because you know exactly what the characters know and you are figuring this out with them. The ending twist... Spoiler That the characters could have just stayed put and would have gotten out easily Was an awesome twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I distinctly remember doing this interview in my car on a break from work and fucking sweating buckets in the hot-ass car. Not pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
