Ep.6 - Empathy, Aliens, and the Batman's Arc

Theo and Josh pick back up on the Batman's journey, from pure vengeance to reaching out a hand to help, before diving into Disclosure Day and the real theme hiding underneath the aliens: empathy. They break down the difference between understanding how someone thinks and actually feeling what they feel, ask whether you can care about people too much, and talk about why sci-fi makes big, heavy questions easier to sit with. It's a thoughtful one, wrapped in a red flare in the dark and a beam of light from the sky. This is a public episode.
