9 MINS LATER
Phil IscoveHOST
Like, I just, it feels kind of like that.
Phil IscoveHOST
David Hyde-Pierce.
Phil IscoveHOST
did not do the voice in this film of Abe Sapien.
Phil IscoveHOST
He did the voice in the first film.
TyHOST
But regardless...
TyHOST
Abe Sapien.
TyHOST
Abe Sapien, yes.
TyHOST
Abraham Sapien.
TyHOST
I'm talking him.
Mike AshquieHOST
I'm trying to think of another character.
Mike AshquieHOST
You could have a character out of the Hellboy universe, like Abe Sapien or any member of the BRPD.
Mike AshquieHOST
That's...
Mike AshquieHOST
Awesome.
PaigeHOST
What you call it? Shape of water guy.
PaigeHOST
But then he has other times where he plays the faun in Pan's Labyrinth, and he's Abe Sapien, and he gets dubbed over.
PaigeHOST
Yes.
PaigeHOST
So...
JoeHOST
And While my appreciation has maybe dropped a little bit, I don't think that it's dropped because of anything regarding the film, but just the order in which I watch Del Toro's movies.
JoeHOST
I can't ignore the Abe Sapien from Hellboy of it.
JoeHOST
I think that that was something that I'm just like, you know...
JoeHOST
But also, we talked about this.
JoeHOST
Well, and I don't think that you can necessarily completely avoid that.
JoeHOST
But also, again, I think del Toro tests ideas in other films.
JoeHOST
And in Hellboy 2, when Abe Sapien and the princess kind of are a thing, he's auditioning ideas for The Shape of Water.
JoeHOST
My number two is Kronos.
Hanna FlintHOST
And, and, Say like Beauty and the Beast or like Shrek, even that, or Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, The Shape of Water, right? Some good examples of-
Clarisse LoughreyHOST
Abe Sapien, my personal pick.
Hanna FlintHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Hanna FlintHOST
I love him.
Tim AndrewsHOST
thing in Hellboy.
Tim AndrewsHOST
Yeah, he was Abe Sapien.
Jeff LeiboffHOST
Oh, cool.
Jeff LeiboffHOST
He's done those roles.
Sinister CinemaHOST
Yep.
Sinister CinemaHOST
And he was also the voice of Abe Sapien in Hellboy.
Sinister CinemaHOST
Great actor.
Sinister CinemaHOST
I think he deserved a lot more accolades than he did.
Stephen SchleicherHOST
Yeah, they basically have to rebuild the world.
Stephen SchleicherHOST
And oh, by the way, Hillboy is dead and Abe Sapien has returned and Liz is still full of fire and vinegar.
Stephen SchleicherHOST
Yeah.
Stephen SchleicherHOST
I, I will read a hell boy, the BPRD stuff, especially when, you know, once the frogs started just invading earth and everything was turning into a doomsday scenario, a war of attrition kind of thing.
Rodrigo LopezHOST
Yeah.
Rodrigo LopezHOST
So, to get into it, this...
Rodrigo LopezHOST
This run of BPRD comes after a lot of stuff in the BPRD comic, but also in the Hellboy comic, Abe Sapien's limited series.
Rodrigo LopezHOST
Probably Lobster Johnson limited series too has some impact on this.
Jim CannonHOST
Although, as the material we are going to cover this week brings us up to 1999, we may have to find more scary themed comics before too long.
Jim CannonHOST
For this episode, we are covering a grab bag of Hellboy stories, beginning with Almost Colossus, the Ghost Hellboy team-up, the Christmas special, the Abe Sapien one-shot, the Batman Hellboy Starman two-parter, and wrapping up with Box Full of Evil.
Justin ZyduckHOST
Yeah, it's a real Hellboy lightning round.
Jim CannonHOST
Yeah.
11 MINS LATER
Jim CannonHOST
The pyrokinetic ability she hates and the homunculus absorbed is vital to her continuing to live and stuff.
Jim CannonHOST
Um, to it, Hellboy and Kate Corrigan are hot on the trail of the escaped homunculus so that they can save Liz.
Jim CannonHOST
Abe Sapien, who was wounded in Wake the Devil, is also in the hospital, although just with a busted fin.
Justin ZyduckHOST
So we already got a hint that there's more to the fire she controls because of like Rasputin has that interest in her power being greater than Hellboy's, which, you know, whatever that means, right? Your fire powers are better, bigger than my stone fist powers or whatever, right? But it does seem like the fire is like a life force of some sort and not just fire itself.
