We start this podcast with a conversation with Diz relating the Kobe memorial for those of us that didn’t watch. We then talk about the real life superhero movement. Vy tells us about his famous persona while Ali gives us the history of the real life superhero movement with the very first person to don a mask and fight crime. We examine how our understanding of heroic is shaped by cultural representations. We then discuss the rise of true crime documentaries and what they tell us about a society that we are fixated with the morbid. We examine the implications of sensationalizing stories with real human cost.
