Part 2 of Paul and Stephen’s chat with Academy Award winning actor, writer, and author Tom Hanks.
Why are time travel fantasies perfect escapes and where does Tom dream of going?
What’s the logic of time travel and what would be better: going back to the past or going forward into the future? Tom shares cautionary food for thought from Thornton Wilder and Charleton Heston, and lessons gleaned from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes. Also, what are the rules of infidelity in time-travel and has there ever been a real “golden age”? Tom explains what it is to be a “presentist”, why he’s a bit of a skeptic, and the guys chew on whether or not human nature has changed over time.
Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art.
Tom Hanks is a 2-time Academy Award winning actor, writer and author. His novel The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece is a New York Times Best Seller. His charitable coffee line, Hanx: For Our Troops, can be found at givehanx.com or on instagram @givehanx. All profits go to those who serve, and their families.
