Episode 235: ATL Comic Convention: Knives in My Eyes - 20 Years of 'Brick' with Tim Avers

CatBusRuss⁠ was able to participate in a lot of panels at ⁠ATL Comic Convention⁠ for movies that he loves, but one of those panels was for a feature not enough people have seen. He was honored to get to chat with the co-creator of the comic "⁠Blood Orange⁠", ⁠Tim Avers⁠ about ⁠Rian Johnson⁠'s 2005 debut feature, "⁠Brick⁠". Hopefully, the two were able to convince those who were early for the anime voice actor panel that followed them that they were missing out on a classic.

There was no audience to start, but since the two had a movie that they both adore, who needed them. Johnson sold this story as "A Detective Story", but if you were combing the aisles of Blockbuster in 2005, was ⁠Joseph Gordon-Levitt ⁠name enough to get you to rent this flick? ⁠CatBus⁠ really thinks that the ad campaign for this Sundance darling should have really pushed that this is film noir for high schoolers. Both panelist agree that this is a feature that soon-to-be freshmen should watch to better understand the drama of high school.
