Really True FictionEnnui Universal - (Children Of Men - Book)We close the loop on Children of Men. The book is much more meditative on the world and society than the movie; so we flesh that part out a little bit more. We don't talk so much about a world without children here; as we did that a lot in the movie episode. This one was a lot of fun though; enjoy!  Additional Spoilers: The Great Gatsby 1:25 The Brothers Karamazov 1:03:502020-02-091h 24
Really True FictionFutures - (Children Of Men - Movie)Part one of a two parter on this story.

We are really proud of this one, and hope you enjoy it as well. *Additional Spoilers* Inferno (Big Spoiler) - 27:45 The Stand - 28:15 Saving Private Ryan - 32:562020-01-311h 54

Really True FictionGratuitous Nihilism - (The Dark Knight)Never go full Thanatos! Here is the episode you deserve, if certainly not the one you need. We do a pretty deep dive into the psychological/philosophical differences between the Joker and Batman in this one. The first hour is pretty ethereal as such. If you want more tangible stuff, the second hour is for you!2020-01-191h 59

Really True FictionThe Best There Is - (Catch 22)Welcome to 2020! In this episode we talked about the classic and hilarious Joseph Heller novel Catch 22; one of the all time satires. If you haven't read this book before, I would encourage you do before listening to this podcast. Some books are not necessary to read before listening but this one is. It is non-linear and there are lots of characters, so your reference for what we are talking about will be a lot easier if you have read the book. Cheers!

Really True FictionInjustice Shrugged - (The Crucible)Apologies for any ambient sound for the first 45 minutes on this one. We had the furnace blasting. Lesson learned. Either way, it didn't affect this episode too bad. This one was a lot of fun and you can hear the passion in both of us in our feelings about The Crucible. Cheers!2019-12-291h 58
Really True FictionMerry Christmas! - (The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe)Merry Christmas everyone!

Really True FictionReally Crude Fiction - (Superbad)Here we go into a film that was a comedic culmination of an era.

Really True FictionCuriosity Cultivated The Human - (David Copperfield)Finally we hit the Dickens! Charles Dickens is one of my all time favorite authors and it is always a treat to spend some time with him. David Copperfield is a kind of autobiography of Dickens himself; though with many components of the book being different from his own life. This isn't a book you necessarily have to read in order to enjoy the podcast, but I would still highly recommend you read it sometime for the pure joy of Dickens prose and insights. 2019-11-302h 01
Really True FictionEternal Echoes - (Gladiator)His giant is with him wherever he goes. We had a lot of fun re-visiting this one and we hope you do as well. Strength and Honor. Â *Correction* I (Luke) make a point in this episode that Mother Theresa took money from the Duvalier family in Haiti, and that should count against her. I actually don't know that to be true (I mis-remembered during the recording something Hitchens said about her), though she was supportive of them. Since that is germane to the point I was making, please take my (Luke) arguments on t...2019-11-242h 04
