5. How to Read Myths & Myth-Inspired Stories: a Radical Perspective

If you love stories, you're going to have to engage with myths. That's partly because some of the greatest stories ever told are myths, partly because countless authors have been inspired by ancient myths, and partly because they pop up all over pop culture. In this episode, Daeus and Kate bring on special guest Josiah DeGraaf to talk about... . How myths are NOT just made up, but actually based in reality. . How to navigate the complicated worldviews of myths and their mixture of truth and deception. . Top lessons we've gained from myths. . An overview of the spiritual realm as it relates to myths. . Are there any dangers in exposing your kids to myths in forms like the Percy Jackson series or Marvel movies? . Is the Bible a myth??? . How the myths that inspired inspired Tolkien's Middle Earth caused him to make one critical mistake. . And more! Also, make sure to check out Josiah's new magic school novel A Study of Shattered Spells. https://josiahdegraaf.com/a-study-of-shattered-spells/ Follow us @NavigatingNarrativePodcast, and send your thoughts on this episode to navigatingnarrativepodcast@gmail.com Music license code: UHXWZ4SYWSO2VND6

4. Braveheart - Wish Fulfillment Propoganda for Dudes

For many men, Mel Gibson's portrayal of William Wallace in Braveheart is a heroic role model. But while this character is properly inspiring in some ways, overall he actually completely betrays the ideals of a hero set up in the story's first act. In this episode, Daeus and Kate argue that Braveheart is wish fulfillment propaganda for dudes. We cover... . How the death of Wallace's wife caused him to betray and subvert his own values. . How his enemies are all strawmen designed to make him look good so you'll root for him. . How the movie frames the conflict around the sexual use of women. . How Mel Gibson is basically a masochist, lol. . Why Robert the Bruce is a stronger character than Wallace. . And more! It's time to be a real hero, so let the fake ones go.

3. The Incredibles - What Does It Mean to Be a Successful Man?

This episode is just incredible. (Sorry, I had to.) The Incredibles is one of the greatest movies from the golden age of Pixar. Not only is the pacing, action, and humor spot on, but the story still has a lot to teach men (and women!) today. In this episode, Kate and Daeus talk about the common cultural narrative for men that the successful man is independent, suave, non-cooperative and non-vulnerable, and surrounds himself with status symbols. Also: . How this movie makes fun of James Bond. . How "being responsible" can be a diversion from your true calling. . How an idolized view of manhood destroys men. . How keeping your "normal self" and your "true self" separate destroys both selves. . Why we repeat the flaws of those who let us down. . What a great legacy looks like. . And more! Get ready to see just how incredible The Incredibles is.
