This week we're talking about a movie Roger Ebert said created "the best version of a comic book universe I've seen," The Crow. We talk not just about its infamous place in film history for the on-set death of star Brandon Lee on March 31st, 1993, but about its real accomplishments in translating a comic and cartoon look and feel to live action, as well as the surprisingly long tail of its influence via Chad Stahelski. A stuntman and best friend of Brandon Lee who was on set the day of Lee's accidental killing, Stahelski has been fanatical about safety ever since, taking it right through his work as the director of the John Wick franchise.
