The Christian groups don’t like what is happening here. They question the Professor and take him to task on these actions in the comic strip. She appears to be doing forbidden, submissive and/or dominant acts but he contends that is ridiculous. Kind of like now, the church attacked creativity and science that was intended to help humankind. The tension between the church and knowledge is prevalent in this film.
One thing I did not know about this real life story is that he invented the lie detector. He wasn’t just some ne’er thee well spinning his wheels writing a dirty comic book. He was a scholar. My favorite part in the film is the end when they show actual photos of these figures. This film started a bit slow but after all I liked it very much. I gave it an 8/10.
Hey there readers and listeners! This is my output for Monday 4/7/2018. “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women,” “Upstream Color,” “Headless,” & “The Female Brain.” I put a little teaser audio of Phil Hendrie’s humor. He appears in a very small role in “The Femal Brain.” The guy is a comedic genius on the radio.
