In the first of two episodes, writer/director Owen Kline joined Kenny and Mike for an extended Zoom interview discussing his new A24 film Funny Pages as well as faith and the variety of ways it is reflected in film, story, comics.
Owen first came to prominence in the 2005 film The Squid and the Whale where he played Frank Berkman, the youngest son of Bernard (Jeff Daniels) and Joan (Laura Linney) and brother of Walt (Jesse Eisenberg.
Funny Pages tells the story of Robert (Daniel Zolghadri) a highschool senior and talented cartoonist who is caught between following the expected journey of attending art school or honing his own artistic style and voice. Following the loss of his mentor, Robert strikes out on his own by moving into a most unique basement apartment shared with two colorful roommates.
Funny Pages, rated R for language and brief sexuality, is itself a funny, irreverant presentation of Robert's coming of age in a way that reminds viewers, who have come of age, of the joyeous and jarring moments of that journey. Appropriately, as cartooning entails a degrees of caricature, the Owen presents all this with a dynamic, caricatured style and construction.
