Details, credits, errata: We almost called this “Mel O’Drama” and were also considering “Claymore Minds” and “No Relation,” since our wonderful guest is Tyler Huckabee (no relation) and this film’s most famous line—“Every man dies, not every man really lives”—was written by the poet William Wallace, also no relation.
Hi, just a note to say I really loved this episode as well as the one preceding it! I think what Alissa said at the end of the episode about Mel Gibson films is one of my worst fears: "appearing to be smart when [it/he/she] is actually very dumb." So thanks for the reminder to think critically and be humble :)
On another note, what films would you say *are* doing masculinity and femininity well? Is that even a good question to ask, or should we just ask what movies are showing us how to be good people? What movie *do* you want to watch with your 14 year old son about what it could mean to be a good man/woman/person?
I would message this on Twitter or Insta, but the social media fast is going strong and I can't find an email address for you? Hope you're well, and hi Alissa!!
