Truth in Journalism - Eddie Brock aka Venom Short Film

Following up last years Punisher short, Truth in Journalism was this years Adi Shankar produced short film in which a documentary crew follows around Eddie B more commonly known as Venom.

"The great part of my job is that I get to be an 'administrator of truth.' Crime occurs every 13 seconds in this city. You know we have these statistics? Because guys like me are out on the streets, collecting these stories. We put the caution in cautionary tale, y'know? And being aware the crime out there, the people of this city can live their lives accordingly. In fact, I'm the one doing this city a public service. We're the heroes out there...."
-Eddie B.

Reminds me a lot of Man Bites Dog especially with the dark humour used and the onscreen reactions of the film crew.


Not sold on their take of Eddie Brock, but then again it is an interpretation/homage rather than trying to stick to what is canon from the comics. Probably as much a homage to the aforementioned Man Bites Dog as well.

Still enjoyed it though, and liked the little nods throughout the film like

Elektra's sai being thrown by Bulleye (despite me hating the look of the guy that played Bullseye)

Much preferred Dirty Laundry (Hey, ANYTHING with RP immediately goes up 3 cool points). Thought it was tighter. But I still liked that a lot.
