Ep 407: V for Vendetta: 20 Year Retrospective

ComicBook CliqueComment

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts don their Guy Fawkes masks and look back at V for Vendetta, 20 years after its premiere. What began as a cautionary tale about authoritarian control, surveillance, and manufactured fear feels eerily prophetic two decades later. The crew revisits the Wachowskis-produced classic, exploring how its themes of rebellion, censorship, and identity hit harder in today’s world than ever before. From Hugo Weaving’s chillingly poetic performance to Natalie Portman’s transformation as Evey Hammond, we reflect on how the film’s dystopian vision has crept frighteningly close to reality—and why V for Vendetta remains a timeless rallying cry for freedom and truth.
