THINGS HIDDEN 23: Exorcizing the Spirit of Cannibalism

In this brand new episode of THINGS HIDDEN, David Gornoski sits down with stuntman and fellow student of Girard, Eric Jacobus. The two have an exciting conversation on the resurgence of 80s aesthetics in pop culture; our society’s fascination with underdogs; the comedian’s role as a scapegoat; the ancient understanding of catharsis; spirit possession; and more. If everything in the 80s looked tranquil, why did pop culture become fractured in the 90s? Did the internet have anything to do with this fracturing? Does human sacrifice correlate with technological progress? What did Jesus accomplish on the cross? Listen to the full podcast to find out and more.
