Chewing the plot

Episode 9 - I Kill Giants : Tik Tok it's school o'clock


Listen Later

this right we are covering the surprisingly divisive 2017 film and 2008 comic I Kill Giants. I say that as on initial impression I thought I knew what I was getting but turns out people also had that thought and disliked it for it but we'll get to more on that later!


I Kill Giants is a somewhat describable as coming of age and looks at child phycology, loss and the emotional roller coaster of fantasy imagination in a more direct way than in our previous texts which have done this such as Peter Pan which only eluded to the idea. I Kill Giants tells the story of Barbara Thorson a young girl and her challenge in fighting titans and as this is a story with a sudden right turn within it I am going to stipulate again spoilers and if you don't want to have the film or comic ruined you should go watch or read it first before we dive into it. 


So settle in and enjoy this tale of fantasy and tragedy as we once again chew the plot.
