Explicit content warning
07/18/24 • 89 min
Comics editor Jasmine Amiri joins the show to compare Terry Zwigoff’s adaptation to the original comic by Daniel Clowes. In episode 318 Luke, James, and Jasmine discuss the value of supposedly “empty” entertainment vs what’s deemed as “important," find out what studio meddling would have ruined the movie, celebrate Steve Buscemi’s selfless actions during the aftermath of 9/11, and debate the implications of the film’s final scene. They finish off by each casting their vote for which one is ultimately the better version: the graphic novel or the movie?
