The Appeal of the Outlaw

What this episode covers

On June 3rd, Kasie and Rex took on the appeal of the Outlaw character and looked at some specific genres that use outlaw archetypes. Today we’re going to lean closer to character cliches as we tackle Outlaws, Gangsters, Mafia, and Pirates. We’ll unpack the appeal of these characters, the have-tos and better-nots, and maybe amuse you with some of our favorites. You’ll probably hear a few returns to the character arcs we worked on back in the fall.
