Origami Elephants - January 9, 2016
The Problem with the Virtuous Hero
From Series: "Origami Elephants Season 2"
Bryne and JR. are back with more guests, more movies and more hard-hitting exploration of those elephants.
Bryne and JR. recap some of our favorite films of a very good year, then dive into a couple that signal a shift in how we are telling stories as a culture. The Big Short, Sicario and Netflix’ Making a Murderer demonstrate an important shift away from the traditional virtue narrative Americans like so much toward more complicated, complex and honest storytelling. We evaluate this shift, and why we are so excited for it.
