Hi, I'm Susan Bauman, movie critic at the Louisville Dispatch...

And I'm Roger Triskel, movie critic for the Louisville Sun-Times.

In this episode we look at Return of the Nightporter...

... in which our brooding superhero takes on the villainous Stockbroker.

What did you make of Return of the Nightporter, Roger?

I know the Stockbroker was in the comics, but that was in the '30s.

I don't come to Nightporter to learn about the bond market and short selling!

But surely you don't think audiences want the campy '60s Nightporter?

I'd prefer that! At least you're not bored to tears by bar charts.

I thought all the stock market stuff was very interesting.

I'm not saying it was all bad, just that it was out of place in what's...

... supposed to be a light action adventure movie.

It's a hard no from me.

Oh Roger, you're always so cynical.

I thought the effects were great, and Val Keaton gave a great performance.

Plus those soaring Art Deco towers... incredible art direction.

Well, it was okay.

It's a big yes from me.

There we have it. Another split vote.

Join us next time when we look at The Danger in Your Bed!
