ITF Read & Watch: The Old Guard (2017 comic & 2020 film)

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!
