Philosophy In Film - 080 - Roadhouse
Description
Episode 80: Roadhouse
This week, the gang takes a trip back to the glory of 1980s cinema with the high-octane feature Roadhouse! Starring Patrick Swayze as the Ph.D.-educated bouncer, the gang discusses their shared similarities with our hero, exploring the relatable parallels in their professional experiences as Craig begins the brawl with Producer’s Notes (6:37 ). Alain then fights his way through the Beauclair Synopsis (19:12 ), with Chris packing a punch in Philosopher’s Corner (30:55 ). The gang dukes it out over the Round Table (40:34 ), with Reviews (1:16:41 ) and Mailbag (1:24:01 ) bringing in backup. As always, we discuss the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie, perhaps pioneering the interconnection between Aristotle and this beloved action-packed classic.
