Show Summary
Guests: Craig Detweiler and Ben Wiker

Our Academy Awards wrap-up show features the unflinching portrayals of evil in Best Picture winner No Country For Old Men and Best Picture nominee There Will Be Blood. Two experts, author Ben Wiker (Ten Books That Screwed Up the World) and film producer and critic Craig Detweiler, will discuss how dead white men still greatly impact our culture. These cautionary tales expose the logical problem of ideas like “survival of the fittest” and “the will to power”: if this is our nature and our destiny then why do we find it so bleak? So repellent? Where do we find hope in the face of such destruction?
