Paper Girls - a podcast by Matt Feury

Editors - Robert Komatsu ACE, Emily E. Greene ACE, Ivan Victor ACE, Jennifer Barbot ACE

PAPER GIRLS editors Rob Komatsu and Emily Greene make their triumphant return to THE ROUGH CUT, having previously visited to discuss their work on the FX/HULU series, MRS. AMERICA (2020).  Although Ivan Victor and Jennifer Barbot are joining the podcast for the first time, both editors bring with them a wealth of tv editing experience in documentary/reality, comedy, sci-fi and drama.

PAPER GIRLS follows four young girls who, while out delivering papers during the dark morning hours after Halloween in 1988, become unwittingly caught in a conflict between warring factions of time-travelers, sending them on an adventure through time that will save the world. As they travel between time periods, they encounter future versions of themselves and must choose to embrace or reject their fate.  It is based on the 2015–2019 comic book series of the same name written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Cliff Chiang.
