Summary
Shauna and Olivia want to share their favorite movies with each other, and you! Up first is Shauna's favorite movie, V for Vendetta. Released in 2006, V for Vendetta was based on the DC/Vertigo comic series by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Directed by James McTeigue and written by the Wachowskis, V for Vendetta stars Hugo Weaving as the masked V, Natalie Portman as Evey, and a veritable who's who of British actors (mostly male) including John Hurt, Rupert Graves, Stephen Fry and Stephen Rea. The Junkies discuss the plot (spoilers abound, so be sure you've seen it before listening), the characters, the romance, the themes, and the stunning parallels between a movie released 20 years ago and today's political landscape.
