Philosophy In Film - 080 - Roadhouse

Episode 80: Roadhouse


This week, the gang takes a trip back to the glory of 1980s
cinema with the high-octane feature Roadhouse! Starring Patrick
Swayze as the Ph.D.-educated bouncer, the gang discusses their
shared similarities with our hero, exploring the relatable
parallels in their professional experiences as Craig begins the
brawl with Producer’s Notes (6:37). Alain then fights his way
through the Beauclair Synopsis (19:12), with Chris packing a
punch in Philosopher’s Corner (30:55). The gang dukes it out over
the Round Table (40:34), with Reviews (1:16:41) and Mailbag
(1:24:01) bringing in backup. As always, we discuss the
philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie, perhaps
pioneering the interconnection between Aristotle and this beloved
action-packed classic.
