Western and central parts of the state are still cleaning up after heavy rains and torrential flooding, June was the hottest month on record, and a tornado touched down at Chicago's O'Hare airport last week. It's the stuff we used to tell horror stories about. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis is doing that now, in a movie and in a graphic novel, with local artist Karl Stevens. It's called Mother Nature, and it's out on Aug. 8 from Titan Comics. We hear from them, plus co-writer and film director Russell Goldman, and Joel Christian Gill, the inaugural chair of Boston University's MFA program in visual narrative.

This segment aired on July 17, 2023.
