PCR #105 - Highway to Hellboy

In this episode, Travis and X put the spotlight on Guillermo Del
Toro and Ron Perlman as they take a look back at the Hellboy
movie franchise. They start off by going over how Del Toro got
his start in Hollywood, his films leading up to the first
Hellboy, the passion and patience he had for getting the movie
off the ground, how he helped out Perlman with his early career
and the friendship formed from it. They go into detail with the
first film, discuss the characters, the actors, the makeup and
visuals, and what went wrong with the plot of the film. They even
bring up the animated films that came out in between the two
films which included the original cast members. You can’t talk
about guillermo without talking about Pan’s Labyrinth, so of
course they do. They deep dive into the much beloved Hellboy
sequel, the Golden Army, and talk about all the wonderful visuals
and settings that Del Toro came up with throughout the film, the
new characters introduced, the story elements that worked so
well, and what was the unforeseen circumstance that caused it to
fail at the box office. What were the plans for Hellboy 3 and why
didn’t it ever get the greenlight. They wrap up by talking about
their thoughts on what they’ve seen so far for the new movie and
what they’re anticipations are for it. If you’re a fan of Del
Toro, Ron Perlman, or the older Hellboy film franchise, then you
