Cool World

We end the second annual Jess Byard June with a film that is on the list for being one of the worst of all time, a true dud: Cool World. Starring Brad Pitt and Gabriel Byrne, it centers on the two as a displaced police officer and a comic book artist both attempting to escape an animated reality called "Cool World" While it may sound like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", that comparison begins and ends with live-action and animation. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard and artist Maggie the Odd join Chris to talk all about the film, Pitt's performance, and Holli Would.
