Another solid series retrospective

“What separates these reviews from other critics in general is A: the hindsight eye and B: the differing viewpoints. All three guys, Stewart, Brock and Arnie bring their own unique perspective to every podcast and it makes for excellent banter that I can't get enough of. Even when I disagree with their final analysis, I still respect it. Unlike other movie reviewers who usually review the film from a surface perspective, Now Playing breaks every movie down and examines the reasons why a movie works and why it doesn't. Critiquing is a subjective business, there's no debating that. One man's masterpiece is another man's hunk of poo, but I personally think Now Playing is the best source for finding educated reviews and analysis of past franchises that you truly can't get anywhere else. I've been a big fan from the very beginning and plan to keep donating whenever I have the cash!
Blade is a great retrospective, not only because it's a series that I grew up with and saw every one in theaters, but because Stew, Brock and Arnie's ongoing speculation that Snipes was under-characterized throughout all three films was something I never realized before and looking back now, I completely agree. I thought the Blade series was one of the most solid franchises Marvel had, but after listening to their retrospective, I was able to see some flaws in it I never realized before! Frost really is a puny match compared to Blade. I used to think Blade II was one of the best sequels, ever. Now I'm thinking it would be a great stand alone movie without Blade. and Blade III is kind of a mess. I think I knew that from the very beginning when I saw it in the theaters, But I agree with Arnie, it's still very enjoyable if you turn your brain off.
Blade III is truly a hoot to listen to, especially all their riffs on the terrible choice of casting Purcell as "Drake". Great Stuff. I recommend this podcast to anyone who likes Blade and anyone who just loves listening to guys' witty banter. That's the best part of Now Playing, imao.”
