Gimme a D! Gimme an A! Gimme a D! What’s that spell? Steve Harrington! Have you recently written the phrase, “I didn’t sign up for this?” Is your protagonist a grumpy old man or a deadbeat alcoholic? Is there a child or childlike adult involved? If so, you might have a Reluctant Father Figure on your hands! Join us this episode as we talk about just how much we love this trope in all its iterations. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.) Other spoilers: The Karate Kid, Stranger Things, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, The Witcher, and The Last of Us, with minor spoilers for Cobra Kai, Raising Arizona, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Lord of the Rings, Gilmore Girls, Twilight, and Up.
