Take My Log, Please!

In this episode we explore philosophical themes in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. We interview Leigh Kolb, Rob Luzecky, Veronica McMullen, and Peter Rose-Barry. We channel the wisdom of the owls, the log, the giant, and, of course, Agent Cooper.

A Zombie, A Prisoner, and a Robot Enter into a Social Contract

In this episode, we discuss social contract theory and how it is explored in The Walking Dead, Lost in Space, and Orange is the New Black.  What would a state of nature–a state before civil society–look like?  What would people be like in such a state?  What would their motivations be?  Would characters like Rick Grimes, Negan, and Dr. Smith naturally emerge?
