Make THESE Comics Into Movies (feat. Umberto Gonzales, aka El Mayimbe)

This week, we talk about comics that deserve to be movies with TheWrap's comic maestro, Umberto Gonzales - aka @ElMayimbe. We talk about why Ninjak, Ann Nocenti's X-Men spinoff "Beauty and the Beast" (featuring ex-disco star Dazzler) and Calvin & Hobbes should be movies. And why Dazzler should be played by Janelle Monae, not Taylor Swift. Here's Ira Madison III's piece on Grace Jones' influence on Dazzler: http://www.mtv.com/news/2911767/the-queer-importance-of-dazzler-marvels-disco-inspired-rollerskating-superheroine/ This week's music: Donna Summer's "Sunset People"   Hosted on Acast.

We talk about true stories that we think should be made into TV shows or movies. First we talk about why they belong on-screen -- then we talk about how we'd like to see them on-air: Who should direct, who should write, who should star. We dig up lesser-known people whose stories deserve to be told, forgotten moments in history, and fresh angles on very familiar memories.Your hosts, Tim and Deirdre, are married writers who only recommend stories that we would personally want to see.
