Episode 71: I Need An Antihero


Listen Later

Wherein we discuss antiheroes, a reaction to the pure, often flawless, heroes we covered in the previous episode. Whether vulnerable, flawed, or otherwise riddled with vices, we discuss a litany of antiheroic characters, including Dexter, Hannibal Lecter, Roland from "The Dark Tower" series, Han Solo, and Michael Corleone. We explore what makes antiheroes realistic, relatable, and sometimes quite annoying. Elsewhere, Chris wonders if there can be a non-living hero, Allison explains Walter White's absence from the show, and Corey has a date with The Dead.
