90s Pulp Resurrection and The Shadow

A rich, metropolitan playboy who fights crime in the shadows of the city? We’re talking about A caped crusader, but it’s not the Batman. This week, we’re discussing the Alec Baldwin-led The Shadow.

The 90s saw a slate of dark heroes tackling crime in the wake of the Bat and Burton. This week, we’re discussing the impact of Batman, racism, franchises, adaptation, wealth and class, and much more.
