Show Notes
Greg Rucka wrote both the comic and the screenplay for its adaptation, helping to ensure a faithful product made it to screen, but how did Gina Prince-Bythewoods' Netflix original film end up comparing? In episode 150, Luke & James debate the nuances of both mediums, and try to determine where the story shines brightest. SPOILERS BEGIN: 28:53
Topics: an awakened interest, familiar with a twist, a comic n00b reacts to Leandro Fernández's gorgeous work, Charlize Theron the action star, debate over what makes a movie a "superhero movie," a convincing argument for the pain of immortal life, a love for the ages that made the leap from page to screen, the meaning of Scythian, what disagreement brings to the show, and a final vote on which was better: the comic or the movie!
