Comic book writer Jude Doyle returns to the show to discuss his brilliant new DC Comics six-issue miniseries, Clayface: Celebrity Dirt.
We take a deep dive into this dark, tragic, and refreshingly main-character energy take on Basil Carlo, the Clayface featured in the book; discuss how the iconic 90s Batman: The Animated Series inspires Jude and shaped the character's lore; why Clayface is the ultimate mirror for Hollywood celebrity culture, and how according to Jude the character draws striking parallels to BoJack Horseman and classic 1980s body horror films like The Thing and The Fly.
Jude also opens up about using monsters and shape-shifting as a powerful metaphor for identity, gender fluidity, disability, and personal trauma.
