Some time back I had started a Patreon and part of the benefits that subscribers got was a Patreon-exclusive podcast. That Patreon has been closed for awhile now but there was some really cool content left over that only a few people got to hear. Here is a collection of film analyses I did organized around the theme “Monsters & Madmen,” including discussion of The Shining, Labyrinth, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and Clifford. Themes discussed include white privilege, coming of age, bearing someone else’s guilt, class resentment and the never-ending cycle of revenge, and forgiveness.
