This week, Justin and Dave watched The School for Good and Evil. Here’s the synopsis: "Best friends Sophie and Agatha find themselves on opposing sides of an epic battle when they're swept away into an enchanted school where aspiring heroes and villains are trained to protect the balance between good and evil." Both Dave and Justin were left agitated and bewildered by this film. Neither of them could explain the ambiguous (i.e., non-existent) moral framework that should have anchored the film's exploration of the tension between good and evil. Dave ended up quoting Nietzsche toward the end of the podcast, so you know things got bad. Justin laughed out loud when the protagonist was impaled by a giant pen. Dave liked the flaming dragon tattoo, but hated the mystical hole.
