Description

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.

This week the talk about Guillermo Del Toro's 2004 fantasy movie Hellboy starring Ron Perlman and Selma Blair in which a demon child, summoned by the mystic Rasputin during WWII and rescued by Allied forces, grows up to protect the world from supernatural threats as part of a secret government organization.

We discuss the movie's themes of destiny, responsibility and humanity, how the 2004 movie stacks up against the other interpretations of the Hellboy comics, how the movie holds up 20 years later, and much more.
