Ep638: Spain's World: An Interview with BAD ATTITUDE Director Susan Stern

Published: Feb. 18, 2021, 10:29 a.m.

Ian talks with director Susan Stern about her wonderful new documentary, Bad Attitude: The Art of Spain Rodriguez.

The wife of the late underground comics artist has created a staggering tribute to a controversial creator whose views on feminism, race, and creeping authoritarianism were as challenging as his drawings were detailed.

Stern talks about the impetus for the film; working with her daughter to create a touching animated sequence about the artist's passing, and how Spain's lifelong rebelliousness affected his work and relationships. She also shares her unconventional dream for expanding the film's reach.

Now through February 25th, 2021 you can buy a virtual ticket and stream Bad Attitude as part of the Slamdance Film Festival.
