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

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!
