Hypocrisy in Hollywood: The Glorification of Violence

from The AC Podcast · host Apologetics Canada

"Lights, camera, action—cue the egregious blood splatter!" Increasingly, films rely heavily on shockingly, and often grotesque, depictions of violence—ranging from mutilations to various forms of assault. What is equally shocking is how some Hollywood actors and filmmakers, who portray these graphic scenes, can be so hypocritical when they condemn real-world violence. On this week's episode, Troy and Andy are joined by filmmaker Sam McLoughlin, a friend of AC, to discuss the entertainment of violence and what it says about us.
