66. Marvel's Forgetten Movie, Man-Thing

Someone's Favorite Movie

This time, we cover Liongate's attempt to bring Marvel's walking pile of sod, the Man-Thing, to the big screen. It eventually premiered as a Sci-Fi Original Movie (before the SyFy change) and there are a whole load of reasons for that, which we cover in this eppy. Joining us is Jake from the unfortunately defunct podcast "Jake and Tom Conquer the World." Jake rejoins his cohost and bff, Tom, to help us decide what went wrong with this movie and whether or not it actually is someone's favorite.
