Episode 6 - Ghost world: I can see why people like it but that's why I hate it.

Chewing the plot

21-05-2021 • 1 hr 53 mins

This week Graham is back in the driving seat and once again comes up with something divisive. Ever the hipster child he is a fan fan of independent cinema and media so this this week we have chosen Ghost world the 2001 film by Terry Zwigoff also coupled with the graphic novel version by Daniel Clowes. The pair worked closely on this and as such they can both be considered canon.


Having been a cult classic within the comic and film community for years it's still very much a niche film fraught with angst, negative character traits and uncomfortable situations but with bold characters and snarky teens where can you go wrong?


So catch up this week as we learn we have very different views on high-school, different takes on characters and consider just what it takes to be cool when everything sucks.
