Join Dave, Cody, and Brian as they dive into the dystopian world of V for Vendetta in this week's episode of Pop Culture Pastor. Recorded on the symbolic date of November 5th, they explore the political undercurrents of the film and its eerie relevance to modern times. As they revisit Alan Moore's original narrative, the trio dissects the film's adaptation and its shift from anarchism to a more liberalistic storyline, pondering if Alan Moore is a prophet of sorts.

The hosts engage in a lively discussion on the film's casting, with Natalie Portman's standout performance and Hugo Weaving's mesmerizing portrayal of V. They analyze the visual storytelling, the influence of the Wachowskis, and the movie's potent use of fear and propaganda. Plus, they introduce a new segment, "Muppetize the Movie," where they hilariously reimagine the cast as Muppets.

With insights from Scotty on the geek phone, the episode delves into the deeper themes of the source material and the cultural impact of V's iconic mask. Whether you're a fan of the graphic novel or the film adaptation, this episode is packed with thoughtful analysis and a touch of humor.
