01: Still Dreaming: The Dark Knight meets Sisyphus
Update: 2020-05-05
Description
There's a series of murders in Toronto, and Nick Knight is a detective on the case, but his colleagues don't know that he's actually an 800-year-old vampire. Nick laments his status an immortal bloodsucker and hopes to someday reclaim his humanity. But can he, if he continues to be shackled to the past? Can understanding Nick's plight through the lens of the existentialist idea of the absurd (as written about by Alber Camus) help us unravel both his struggle and our own quest for meaning? Tune in, dear listener...
