Evan Bevins and Mark Radulich present our Bulletproof Monk Comic/Movie Comparison and Review!
Bulletproof Monk is a 2003 American action comedy film directed by Paul Hunter in his feature film directorial debut, and starring Chow Yun-fat, Seann William Scott, and Jaime King. The film is loosely based on the comic book written by Brett Lewis with art by Michael Avon Oeming. The film was shot in Toronto and Hamilton, Canada, and other locations that resemble New York City. It received negative reviews from critics and was a commercial failure, earning $37 million worldwide on the budget of $52 million.
The Concept: After saving a Tibetan village from Nazi scientists, the Bulletproof Monk disappeared into legend, leaving behind a story that has been passed down for generations and a hope for his return. Kar, a young man now living in the U.S., searches for his peoples’ hero while he evades secret agents and tries to find acceptance and love in a local gang.
We have also discussed other direct comic/graphic novel adaptations such as The Kitchen, Ghost World and I Am Not Okay With this!

About Comic Stripped
Comics are much more than the pages or digital mediums in which they usually reside. Many of them have some other form of media attached to them as well. Whether it be a cartoon, an anime, an animated film, or even a live-action one. Comics stretch into so many mediums now it is incredibly difficult to keep track of it all. Mark Radulich and Alexis Hejna try their best as they discuss comics and one subset of its adaptation into something else. Creating an interesting comparison and contrast between both.

About Radulich in Broadcasting’s Beginnings
Mark Radulich has been an internet personality since 2004 with his Progressive Conservatism blog. He then took that blog to the airwaves and created a podcast for it. It then changed to PC Live. After that, he brought out the 411mania Ground and Pound Radio as well.
Also, Mark would partner up with another 411mania alum, Sean Comer, to create the movie franchise review podcast Long Road to Ruin and then Robert Cooper to create the metal album review podcast, The Metal Hammer of Doom. Robert Winfree then added his own podcast, Everybody Loves a Bad Guy. That’s when the Radulich in Broadcasting Network was born. Joining Winfree in having their own podcasts were super fan’s Jesse Starcher (Source Material). Finally, Winfree and Radulich added a weekly movie review show to the ever-growing lists of podcasts on the Network called Damn You Hollywood.
