Overthinking Comics

We read the metaphoriest of Junji Ito’s stories, and discuss how we read meaning into an author’s work, understanding a writer’s intention, and how that informs our understanding of the stories we read.

Also: Bruce Lee movies! Paul watched The Final Boss, and so we talk a bit about the experience of watching old Bruce Lee movies.

Note: This episode ends abruptly, some emergency work-related responsibilities popped up during this recording!

Emergencies aside, this episode also includes:

• Neil Gaiman has perspective that we perspect on
• Bank customer service teaches us about compassion
• Sean has rage at the world and profits
• We would rather be our pets
• Bullitt isn’t what it used to be
