Marvel‘s Jessica Jones is the newest comic character to be adapted from comics to a live action series on Netflix. After a tragic ending to her short-lived Super Hero stint, Jessica is rebuilding her personal life and career as a private detective in Hell’s Kitchen. It’s time the world knew her name…

In the first episode of the show Jessica Jones is hired to find a NYU student who’s vanished, but it turns out to be more than a simple missing persons case.

Hosts Brett and Elana discuss each episode one by one with special guests joining in the discussion. For the first episode they were joined by guests Sarah Jaffe and Steven Attewell.

Sarah Jaffe is a reporting fellow at the Nation Institute and a giant nerd who once upon a time wrote about comics more than she wrote about politics, believe it or not, and she has lots of feelings about superhero movies AND their politics. She is working on her first book which is about social movements since the financial crisis and will be released next August from Nation Books. Follow her on Twitter.
