Each month, Panels in Motion talks about a non-superhero comic book that was adapted into a movie. Whether it's old or new, American or international, the hosts seek to answer the questions: What makes a good adaptation? What's the difference between comics and film? And who in their right mind approved some of these decisions??
It’s time for some sexy sixties sci-fi with “Barbarella!” The hosts cover the original 1962 French comic and the 1968 movie as they discuss 60s retro-futurism, the failings of the sexual revolution, the power of Jane Fonda, poor utilization of mimes, and whether good erotica and good storytelling are one and the same.
Next Month: “A Silent Voice” manga volumes 1-7 (complete series) by Yoshitoki Oima + A Silent Voice (2016) movie.
