Author, voice actor, audiobook narrator, and podcast host J. S. Arquin joins to discuss James McTeigue’s adaptation of Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s comic series. In episode 159, Luke, James, and J. S. discuss this classic antifa tale on the eve of the 2020 American Presidential Election.
Topics: What it is like covering this project in the midst of the American election, Alan Moore’s issues with the adaptation, the Wachowski Sisters influence, Natalie Portman’s stronger version of Evey Hammond, defanged fascism, the Guy Fawkes explanation, a stronger focus on collective action, Hugo Weaving’s acting from inside the mask, a third act dramatic change, and a final vote on which was better: the comic or the movie!
