The Ink and Think Hour

EP 2 - Pinocchio (1940): Self-Surveillance, Morality Plays, and a Solid Gold Conscience Sheriff Badge


Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss:

-Jiminy Cricket uncomfortably flirting with inanimate objects,
-predatory culture in Hollywood and the long history of exploitation of child actors,
-tricking destructive young boys into becoming working bodies by letting them smoke and drink,
-being happy to live in the belly of a whale with your cat, your fish, and your puppet-son,
-the Blue Fairy's lazy grading scale for goodness, and
-why Pinocchio is not a satisfying story.
