RIP - Drew Struzan, legendary movie poster artist and the first to realistically capture a superhero. This 1976 Batman poster was mesmerizing when I first saw it. I reached out and spoke to Drew about it for my book THE BATCAVE COMPANION, unfortunately, in the end, I couldn’t fit it into the book.

47 years ago today, Bucky Dent hit one of the most unlikeliest HRs ever when the Yankees eliminated the Red Sox in a one game playoff. Tonight, a rookie named Cam Schlittler pitched a masterpiece, and helped the Yankees eliminate the Red Sox. On to Toronto!

My recent conversation with @mwkronenberg.bsky.social for our podcast about the #boxing movie Body and Soul, led me to want to learn more about the screen writer Abraham Polonsky.

Don’t miss Noir Alley today, hosted by Eddie Muller. Today’s movie is the great John Garfield’s final film HE RAN ALL THE WAY. I spoke about this movie and Garfield’s career a few years ago on the Fade Out podcast. After the movie, you can listen to it here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Hazel Brooks could tempt anyone. Listen to Steve Hunt and me discuss BODY AND SOUL on the Boxing Movie Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
Alice (Hazel Brooks) tempting Charley Davis (John Garfield) in Body and Soul (1947).
