Ep 218 - TLOU - Philosophy, Theology, & Ethics w Dr. Matthew Kapell

Season 1 of The Last of Us is over, but we've still got a lot more
to say!

Prof. Dr. Mr. (not a Rev.) Matthew Kapell joins me to dive into
some of the larger issues in this show and its connected video
game. We talk about the big ethical choices at the end of the
story, zombies vs vampires, why Americans in particular are so
drawn to dystopian stories, and more!

Matthew Wilhelm Kapell has taught everything from human genetics to
film studies at universities and colleges in California, Michigan,
the UK, and now New York City at Pace University. Currently he
edits an academic book series on the study of digital and tabletop
games. You can find out about his books and other stuff at
matthewkapell.com. He never forgets that too many “Hero’s Journeys”
are also “Heroine’s Ordeals.”
