Hi all you Sneakers out there! This week on Sneaky Dragon, Ian and Dave talk nonsense; juggernauts and blobs; the great Steve Ditko; Ayn Rand (approximately); the lottery effect; more about Steve Ditko; why The Amazing Spiderman 2 is a terrible movie; how all the Marvel heroes are actually villains; some movies Dave has seen recently, including: the crazy, but great Japanese horror flick House, the violent and bloody Lady Snowblood, and the creepy and slightly gross Nothing But the Night; eating babies; and, finally, axes to grind with Marvel comics.
Thanks for listening.
Dave forgot to mention the 1970s rock band soundtrack that adds even more to the generally uneven tone of this wacky movie:
The bloody and beautiful Lady Snowblood:
Director Joe Dante tells us about Christopher Lee’s Nothing But the Night:
Here is Steve Ditko, reading an essay explaining the Rand-inspired ideas in his comics work (this is probably the closest we’ll ever get to a Steve Ditko interview, by the way):

Hi guys – I know Ian said the Samurai movie he was trying to remember wasn’t by Kurosawa, but it sure did sound a lot like Rashomon. Fantastic film. Thanks for another great show…
It was the 1962 film Harakiri directed by Masaki Kobayashi.
But David, the pillars Spider-Man was hitting were playing “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider”! Get it?!
EVEN WORSE!!!
I’ll have you know that Dave is a lying liar. I am the least snobbish person ever. There is literally nobody as humble as me. Listen to Ian, Ian’s a good guy, he knows what he’s talking about. Dave is such a nasty man. A “4” at best.
Trump impersonations? Too soon, Heather!
You’re right. 🙁
