#11 - Arthur Fleck

Feb 21st, 2020 5:00 AM

"What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash?" In this episode we take a look at the latest incarnation of the Joker, from psychopathology to political impact. In a harrowing character study we watch Arthur Fleck slip under the surface of society and the Joker re-emerge. Todd Phillips, the director, says the character is based on Freudian theory, so we ask who is the id and who is the ego? We also get into pathological laughter, the impact of loneliness, and why protestors across the world have donned the villain's face-paint. Infused with Edinburgh Gin, we get under the skin of Arthur Fleck in episode 11 of Abstracts. *** Music Coffee by Cambo https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Cambo Media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rPvrQGx8Ww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l98OMyDrqU

#10 - Star Wars (The Psychology and Mythology of a Galaxy Far, Far Away)

Feb 15th, 2020 12:00 AM

This week, we boldly go where no-one has gone before... Wait, hang on. This week, we go back to a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away to discuss the psychology and mythology of Star Wars. Is the dark side really all that bad? Have the Sith any genuine grievances? Does fear really lead to anger, hate, and suffering? Over a smashing Canadian Gin, Matt and Andy discuss archetypes, spirituality, and genocide in this exciting new instalment to the Abstracts universe. *** Coffee by Cambo https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Cambo Media Star Wars Episode V: George Lucas On The Force (2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44H1zWYubmM
