A cool picture of Kerry working in the early day's of his film.

Ah, the days of limited memory, Zip and SyQuest cartridges.

You can watch this on Netflix right now.

After seeing this movie I was surprised to learn the real story behind it and thought it would make a good podcast.

If you're a movie production and FX geek like me, there's an excellent documentary on the DVD.
I still have some of my vintage gear like Kerry used to make his short film. ;)

Davekill, that was an excellent podcast!  I loved the behind the scenes stuff.  I'm re-watching it tonight after work.

Thank you M-5! :)

Jon Avnet cautioned Kerry on his first draft about being too much of a 'Boys with toys' film and was surprised on the second draft how sophisticated Kerry had made the characters relationships.

Myself, I like the James Bond angle of Sky Captain's plane and the other British elements, Brits are cool.
Even though the tension between Joe and Polly was necessary, but I wouldn't call it a Chick Flick - he's just a guy with girl trouble.

Needless to say I'm a huge fanboy of this film.

You guest podcasters!  Every time I listen to one of these movie review podcasts I just have to go back and watch the movie with the inside knowledge.  Darn!  (but a real good darn!).  Great one @Davekill.

Hi all to the form, I just listen to the skycaptain podcast just this past weekend.  it was a great podcast.  Me and my brother went to see when it was first released.  we both enjoyed it but it seemed like it could have been better some how.  I just watched the oral short here on the forum and it was just cool just like the opening of the movie.  btw, I just read from the nerdiest news that it ranks number 2 in what movies they would like to  have in a 3D conversion.
I am going with the best information that I have.

Good point - maybe the story would have been better as a short series rather than a stand-alone-movie.

I liked the Avengers movie partly because it revisited 'the scene of the crime', but on a grander scale.
Both movies had a lot in common; the battle in Manhatten, flying aircraft carrier, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Glad you like the review :)
