After picking this film based on its Metacritic score, I watched and learned of a unique talent in our times: Harvey Pekar (pronounced "Peek-are"). Radiant describes it well.

He was a comics artist who lived the artist's life. I was hugely inspired by his story and specifically, Paul Giamatti's portrayal of him in this film. I give it easily a 10/10 but be aware it is droll and sometimes very nerdy. In other words, it's not for everyone. The film really touched me though and I talk about how at length in this episode. Thanks for listening, may Harvey Pekar rest in peace. My next film for commentary is "About Schmidt." See you next time.
