The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

The Month of Moore continues as co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I discuss Stephen Norrington's The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003). Based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, Jeff and I agree that this action movie isn't entirely without merit, but on the whole doesn't do justice to its intriguing premise. Topics of conversation include Sean Connery's accent, pencil thin mustaches, uneven CGI, dumb marketing strategies and a hypothetical league of American gentlemen. It's an episode that's truly extraordinary - or, at least, more so than this movie.

The Avengers

Co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I discuss Jeremiah Chechik's 1998 adaptation of the classic British television series The Avengers, a movie featuring giant teddy bears, robot bees, invisible people, bad one-liners and Sean Connery shouting at people in full Scottish regalia. Sounds awesome, right? Sadly, it isn't.
