Marvel Disney's recent TV series is about a struggling actor and I have the perfect guest to discuss it with me: filmmaker, life-long Los Angelino, and Marvel comics fan Brandon Wilson. Wonder Man is delightful and we've got a lot say about the show's portrayals of LA, Simon Williams's existence as a Black Haitian-American actor, the prison industrial complex, queer readings and more. You don't need to know about Wonder Man to enjoy the show but Brandon gives us the download on Simon Wilson's comics history.
Plus: the parallels with Midnight Cowboy run deeper than you think!
