Keep your Percy Jacksons, your Eragons, and your Wardrobes. The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast is going over the Wall and into the head of modern comic book god Neil Gaiman as we discuss the 2007 adaption of his graphic novel Stardust. How did we (good comic book and fantasy nerds all) miss a film that looks this good, never mind this weird? How and features such a heavy-hitting cast (Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, Mark Strong, Ricky Gervais, Peter O’Toole, Robert! Fucking! De Niro!) not make boats of cash? Why was this not an instant fantasy classic in its own time, or ours? And should it be? Come with us as we explore the directorial debut of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class helmer Matthew Vaughn and find out of this film bewitched us or turned us all into frogs.
