Podcast The Pub 40: Definitionlessness-less

Antihero Deadpool

The Antihero

In this episode, we talk about the antihero in fiction and film. Sarah is entranced by Daniel Day Lewis in a deerskin, dancing around a fire. Molly realizes that life is filled with meaninglessness and decides that she wants something grander. Trey puts on his padowan cloak and tells the rest of the cast just how he feels about sand. And Dean graduates from Miyagi-do karate school, faces off against Johnny Lawrence, and is stunned when the crowd begins chanting for Johnny to “sweep the leg!”

Cast

Hosted by Dean Karpowicz, with Molly Krasel, Trey Bourn, and Sarah Willis.
