What does it mean to be a fan with a critical eye? How do we relate to the stories we loved as kids, as we come to see some of their problematic aspects? How do we balance our values with the desire to be entertained in an imperfect world? Logan Grendel returns to the podcast as we talk about these questions and more.
Logan, the guest, returns to discuss Logan, the movie! He joins Matthew for an in-depth conversation about the portrayal of violence, the importance of recognizing flaws in our heroes, and the film’s reflections on our own world.
This week, Paul and Matthew are joined by Logan Grendel, who talks with them about V for Vendetta, dystopian stories, and the ethics of violence. (It all ties together, we promise!)
