Description

Dave keeps trying to explain to Tamler that we're not a movie podcast, but somehow they're doing another podcast about movies. This time they each list their top 5 movies featuring moral dilemmas. Also, Tamler tries to rationalize the Woody Allen controversy, Ozymandias from Watchmen says "screw you Paul Bloom," Dave confuses Maggie Gyllenhaal with Droopy, and for the second time ever we have to censor something one of us (Tamler) says. Put on your astronaut adult diapers, folks, it's a long one. LinksDylan Farrow's Story [nytimes.com]Woody Allen Speaks Out [nytimes.com]The Woody Allen Allegations: Not So Fast [thedailybeast.com]"It's shockingly easy to create false memories" by Cara Laney [thedailybeast.com]Elizabeth Loftus [wikipedia.org]Watchmen Graphic Novel [wikipedia.org]The Vengeance Trilogy [wikipedia.org]Droopy Dog [wikipedia.org]Maggie Gyllenhal looks like Droopy Dog [cheezeburger.com]"Hard Determinism, Punishment, and Funishment" by Saul Smilansky [philosophycommons.typepad.com]

Very Bad Wizards is a podcast featuring a philosopher (Tamler Sommers) and a psychologist (David Pizarro), who share a love for ethics, pop culture, and cognitive science, and who have a marked inability to distinguish sacred from profane. Each podcast includes discussions of moral philosophy, recent work on moral psychology and neuroscience, and the overlap between the two.
