Dissecting Worlds Holidays 2014: Families


Listen Later

As it’s the festive period once again our Two Wise(ish) Men take on the subject of family, for good, but mostly, it seems, for ill. In amongst the discarded wrapping and indigestion tablets, we cover:

  • Orphans Everywhere - from Treasure Island to Batman to Harry Potter
  • Fathers, surrogate, missing, good and bad
  • The skew towards male relationships and the (too few) good examples of female-led families
  • The evolution of family relations in Gaming; The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite.
  • Joss Whedon and Families being where you find them.

As a bonus, we’ve swapped out the Bookshelf for a short outtakes reel. Happy Holidays to one and all!
