Drive-in Saturdays

Concluding Wonder Woman month with two woman-directed films from 2017, Patty Jenkins' superhero/war epic Wonder Woman and Angela Robinson's period romance Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. Join us as we enter Deep Comics Nerd Territory, discussing such topics as the inappropriate Christian framing of Wonder Woman; the prevalence of wood alcohol poisoning; how and why the comics industry is fucked; the queer female gaze; some books we read once; whether men should be banned from making superheroine movies; films linking subtextual queer desire with tragedy; and the oft-forgotten and unfortunately-named Wonder Woman artist Harry Peter.
