Episode 224: Final Cut
Manage episode 461245535 series 2582169
In this episode, we look back at one of the best-reviewed graphic novels of 2024: Final Cut by Charles Burns!
When Brian, a shy, socially awkward artist, meets Laurie, the soon-to-be star of his new amateur sci-fi horror movie, she quickly becomes his muse, sharing space in his drawings and his mind with the film’s giant, pod-spewing aliens. Like him, Laurie is an outsider, wrestling with her own inner demons. But as his obsession with her grows, his grasp on his mental health weakens.
This vividly drawn tale of longing – to create and to connect – is part love-triangle teen romance and part love-letter to the science fiction creature features of a bygone era. But is all of that enough to make the cut with that Invasion of the Body Snatchers known as … The Comics Canon?
In This Episode:
· Curt and Kevin’s 8mm adventures
· We have to talk about Tina
· The Strange Tales of Oscar Zahn
· Curt’s existential crisis
· Brief thoughts on Madam Web and The Northman
· Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1: Married With Children
Join us in two weeks as we return to our decade-by-decade look at the Thunderbolts with a look at 2007’s Faith in Monsters!
