Episode 205: Comics Without Capes
This week, Josh and Dietrich tackle their very first two-parter episode, discussing the wide world of graphic novels. For this first episode, the pair talk about those graphic novels that explore worlds not populated by superheroes and supervillains, but use the unique fusion of the literary and visual to tackle odd portrayals of death, the Holocaust, slice-of-life stories, philosophy, turn-of-the-century serial killers, racial stereotypes, forgotten wars, comedy... Needless to say, graphic novels have a scope wider than you might realize. In addition, Josh continues exploring the horrifying work of Nick Cutter, Dietrich reads the dumbest book he's loved in years, and Josh looks at an adaptation of (literally) the most famous and influential book in human history. Finally, Dietrich raves about La La Land, and Josh talks about one of the funniest, most kind-hearted podcasts that you will ever find.
