  • Summary

  • We are back after a brief hiatus with an exploration of the "anti-hero". We discuss how the film industry has changed its portrayal of the figure of the anti-hero--from "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Godfather" to "The Sopranos" and "Succession". We also look at how this has been explored in literature [Lazarillo de Tormes, The Idiot, Catcher in the Rye] and in music [the rock and roll mythos and how it connects to Lord Byron.] Is the anti-hero something we relate to because we are attempting to outrun our shadows? The music featured in this episode is Jay's newly recorded song, "Sunshine".

    The CBC podcast we mention is "Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly" and the episode we specifically refer to is:
