Hubris, stratification of society, dreams hitting against reality, a woman's secrets, fate and tragedy.

Spotting fakes, alter egos, role playing and absolute truths.

Loss of innocence, hacking reality, changing fate, controlling machines, morality as a weakness--but a greater strength, becoming/losing humanity, deception and technological inevitability.

Wherein we discuss facing the darkness, seeking truth in the unknown, the surface vs. the deep, the physical vs. the spiritual, resurrections, leaps of faith and regaining humanity.

Wherein we welcome Simon E. Davies and his work on myth which can be found at: https://www.patreon.com/c/Mythopia/about?redirect=true

We discuss allusions to Homer's Odyssey, the hero's journey, temptation, materialism vs. myth, and the desire to reach for the ideal.

Wherein we discuss the movies A Complete Unknown and Nosferatu, with themes such as finding your voice, birthing a new era, masculinity framed by femininity, and acquainting yourself with the darkness.

In this first part of a movie marathon we discuss The Return, Twisters and Bikeriders and the themes they share. Themes such as cultural decay, authenticity, the ideal, generational change and taming the wild man.

Wherein we discuss themes such as confronting evil, the psychology of space, reverting to a reptilian state, motherhood, our relationship with technology and (re)gaining humanity.

Dedicated to Bill Paxton
