The Philosophy of Movies - A podcast by Josh Matthews

Why are villains in children's movies changing? Some recent kids movies have villains who are redeemed in the end, while others have no villain at all. I talk about this with my special guest this episode is Dr. Tom Clark, mathematics professor at Dordt University. (He and I both have young children, so we are well-versed in contemporary kids' movie fare.) Our conversation ranges from Toy Story 4, to Coco, to Frozen, to Ratatouille and Inside Out. SPOILER ALERT: we will assume that you are okay with us discussing the entirety of those movies, including the ending.
