Today Josh and Drusilla are joined by filmmaker Owen Kline (Funny Pages) to discuss his grandfather's film Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965). From Wikipedia: “Who Killed Teddy Bear? is a 1965 American neo-noir crime thriller film,[3] directed by Joseph Cates and starring Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray and Elaine Stritch. The film was written by Arnold Drake and Leon Tokatyan.[4] The film follows a New York City discotheque hostess who is stalked by a sexual predator. Though it contains no nudity, the movie touches on taboo topics such as pornography, voyeurism, incest, and lesbianism. It also became notable for showing Times Square and 42nd Street in its seedier era.[5] Also discussed: Frankie Cosmos, Ghost World, Daniel Clowes, OK Soda, The Public Enemy (1931), 30s gangster films, Pieces (1982), Girl Group Sounds: One Kiss Leads to Another, Paul Bartel's Private Parts, Paul Morrissey films, Warhol Girls, the career of Robert Cates, a lot of background on Who Killed Teddy Bear, and more.

182 - Ghost World In this episode of Reel Comic Heroes, we step into the offbeat, sardonic world of Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World (2001), adapted from Daniel Clowes' cult graphic novel. We follow the misadventures of Enid and Rebecca, two recent high school graduates navigating the uncertain summer before adulthood, drifting between cynicism, friendship, and the awkwardness of growing up. We dig into the film's unique blend of dry humor and melancholy, the pitch-perfect performances by Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, and a career-defining turn from Steve Buscemi, as well as how the movie translates Clowes' indie comic sensibilities onto the screen. Along the way, we explore the themes of alienation, authenticity, and the strange comedy of human connection. Whether you're a longtime fan of indie comics, or just discovering why Ghost World continues to resonate over 20 years later, this episode is a deep dive into one of the most unconventional comic book adaptations ever made.
