Scarlet by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev

In this episode, Phillip and Eric are talking the creator-owned apolitical but political thriller comic Scarlet by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. They discuss how a middle-aged white guy from suburban Ohio created a comic in 2010 that eerily resembled the protests and anti-establishment sentiment in the decade to follow, its trademark Bendis thumbprint of heavy dialogue, and Phillip gives an impromptu review of the movie It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively.
