Each episode we cover news in the film, TV, and video game industries, before diving into review of a topical movie, and deeper discussion of a more obscure film chosen by one among us--the Morticians--and preferably one that the others haven't seen. This is where movies come to be examined. To die, or maybe, to be reborn. Scrub in!

Welcome back to The Morgue!
On this episode, the Morticians invite friend and collaborator Cameron Carr for a blow by blow on CREED III🥊 and an appropriately Japanese pairing: Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA🫀. Discussed (among other things)—the latitude Michael B. gives his anime influences, the ways both films tackle male relational issues and emotional trauma, that whole "next Denzel" conversation, and whether it truly is impossible to bring Otomo's classic to live action.
Plus: can you imagine if Tom Cruise *hosted* the Oscars? Grab your boxing gloves or sick scarlet biker suit and scrub in!
