Title: Boiled Angels
Post by: lftwng4 on April 27, 2021, 09:04:32 AM
Interesting documentary on Mike Diana and his court case.  Directed by the guy who did Basket Case and Frankenhooker.  Jello Biafra narrates it, and is very annoying.  Lots of interviews with the lawyers and players on both sides.  Mike Diana seems more of a victim of circumstance than anything else.  Good to see that his art has improved over the last 30 years, and he seems to have some degree of success, other than the poster boy for 1st Amendment rights.  It's well paced, fairly detailed, although  the reading of the comic panels gets kinda tedious at times.
Worth seeing, especially if you weren't aware of the court case, the CBLDF, etc.
On Amazon Prime.
