Episode 150 - Character Archetypes: The Sage

In this episode, the two Matts finally unleash the American De Papier brother Lone Star onto the world, complain about leaving the other behind despite not doing anything to pursue, go way too far on NaNoWriMo word count once more, and talk about the character archetype of The Sage in the next of our set of the first batch of twelve character archetypes. What makes The Sage, well, The Sage? How can they give helpful advice while still being their own character? Are their certain stereotypes you should avoid? How many more national stereotypes are there for Matt Donald to use different De Papier brothers for? We discuss it all, while giving out wonderful sage-like advice on this show, and talk about The Chronicles of Narnia, Bedazzled, 9, and a gender-bent version of Cinderella for some reason.
