This week on The Collider.com Podcast, we're talking about V for Vendetta. We talk about how the original Alan Moore graphic novel and the film's release back in early 2006 were responses to right-wing governments that were pushing authoritarian policies, how the film uses a superhero framework to its advantages, the subtext of trans-identity as it relates to The Wachowskis, how the film plays given our current social unrest, and more. We then finish up with Recently Watched.
