COMIC BOOKS TO FILM: With Adam Hughes & Steven P. Wegner

     An all new season of THE GRINDHOUSE: WITH CRAIG & JIM Podcast returns as we launch our "DocuPod" series (part podcast / part documentary), and celebrate the release of AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON with an in depth look at the comics-to-film phenomenon.  Our guests include legendary illustrator Adam Hughes (WONDER WOMAN, BEFORE WATCHMEN, LUCASFILM) and film producer Steven P. Wegner (THE BLIND SIDE, THE BOOK OF ELI, PRISONERS), with topics ranging from the box office performance of comic book films at home and abroad, to the recent controversy over comic character "race and gender" swapping.  Adam chats about his personal experiences with the WATCHMEN film and it's director Zack Snyder.  And both film producer and illustrator offer opinions as to what separates a fair-to-middling comic / film adaptation from a truly great one.  Includes film audio clips, archival interviews with Frank Miller, Samuel L. Jackson and screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz, film score excerpts, behind the scenes featurettes on 300, DICK TRACY, SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE and more. "Excelsior!"
