An update on our hiatus & a look back at The Ethics of Pro Wrestling – we tackle the stories & ethics of heels, catharsis, and performers’ roles, joined by wrestling experts Tim Aubel & Addison Fox.
What did Supernatural have to say about found family and the conflict between agency and determinism? Why did the ending of Castiel and Dean’s story cause so much controversy? And can Matthew, Jacob, & Ashley get through this episode without humming enough of “Carry On My Wayward Son” to get us all sued?
For our milestone 100th episode, we assembled a panel of FIVE distinguished guests for a riveting discussion on some of our favorite ethical quandaries. Who should heroes answer to? What defines a compelling villain? And in these trying times, would it be ethical for a person with mind-control powers to compel universal mask-wearing until the pandemic’s conclusion?
Matthew is moving, so no new episode this week, but enjoy this Superhero Ethics episode about the Jedi and the Sith. Are the Sith the mustache-twirling villains
Great news! We’ve secured a regular co-host, and this podcast is set to launch regular episodes by the end of January. For the time being,
Babylon 5 is almost 20 years old, but the questions it raises about telepathy, fear, and how we treat the ‘other’ are still relevant. Jacob Milicic is our guest.
