Tim Keefe and I discuss writing, to what extent authors put themselves into their stories, and the future of fiction.
Category: podcast Page 8 of 14
I discuss the problem with “nice guys,” what makes a guy “nice,” and why our collective society and culture is responsible for creating them.
I discuss finally watching the Joker film and why it’s a satire on the Batman mythology.
I discuss a magazine article about the apparent rise of “homebodies” among millennials and some of the causes for it.
I discuss the new film “The King,” how its historical inaccuracies ultimately hurt the story, how it could have been done differently, and how to make a historically inaccurate film without taking away the essence of the real history.
I discuss:
– How cell phones and instantaneous communication have destroyed people’s ability to commit to things
– Why the Culture War has long been over, and how it explains the deep shame among many people.
I reflect on the Protestant Reformation, how it happened, and the consequences that are being felt today.

Tim Keefe and I continue our discussion about the Late Stage American identity and the possibility of future American identities.
I discuss Richard Winters, his upbringing and time spent in England and how his environment shaped him into the man he became. I then go into the Joker film and why critics are so hostile to some of its implications regarding society and its monsters.
