From warriors to caregivers this podcasts examines the lens of emerging strength in male archetypes through the lens of a few movies: Blade Runner, Wall Street, Zoe And The Astronaut, The Walterweight, The American Revolution, Margin Call.

Strength has historically been associated with war, physical power, or the business-shark hard-hitting business-man. In light of recent events, with the murder of Alex Pretti, the role of admirable hero goes to a male nurse, while the role of coward goes to the federal agents with guns.

This reversal of classical male stereotypes inspired a contemplation of how valuable care giving is in our society by reflecting on plots in the above movies.
