Get Your Comic On

Welcome back to GYCO Tower for episode #64 of the Get Your Comic On podcast!

This week we're catching up on what we've been watching lately with a series of brand new recommendations. We're covering the latest season of Star Trek: Lower Decks and DC's Stargirl and reviewing our latest big screen experiences with Marvel Studios' Eternals and Sony Pictures upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Jordan-Luke interviews A. J. Martinson, director of The End of Blindess. The incredible story of Dr. Samuel Bora, the only ophthalmologist for over 3 million people in rural Ethiopia who provides free cataract surgery to the blind poor.

Neil interviews the editorial staff from Mad Cave Studios discussing their latest anthology release, Grimm Tales From The Cave. Available now in print and on digital where all good comics are sold.

In this special podcast interview, Jordan-Luke sits down with director Victoria Wharfe McIntyre to discuss her feature debut, The Flood.

Described as a remarkable debut, The Flood examines the appalling plight of Indigenous Australians after World War Two, and the rip-roaring revenge taken against a cruel enemy all too close to home. Heartbreaking cruelty is superseded by gut-wrenching violence, in this shockingly relevant story of injustice and the need for compassion. With most of the shooting locations destroyed in the January 2020 megafire, THE FLOOD is now a visual archive of an ancient Australian rainforest world that no longer exists.

Directed with real verve and unflinching style by McIntyre, nimbly switching between timeframes, THE FLOOD features some strikingly powerful set pieces (including an almost unbearable campsite massacre, and some thrilling shoot-outs), and a mesmerising lead performance from Alexis Lane (remarkable assured in her feature debut) as Jarah, a young woman who pushes back against indignities and outrages in a bloody fashion. When someone tells her “bad things are coming”, they don’t realise those bad things are her! This is emancipation garnered at the end of a rifle.
