Ep. #76 – Game Of Thrones, The Last Of Us, And The Eucatastrophe

This week, I talk about Tolkien’s essay On Fairy Stories, and why some of today’s relentlessly dark entertainment fails to measure up. 

  • Is escapism a fool’s errand?
  • The bleakness of Game of Thrones and The Last of Us Part 2
  • The jail cell of materialism
  • The eucatastrophe
  • The fairy tale that is actually real
