Sinopsis

Well, it looks like we're taking another beloved classic and ruining it with our patented ruining sauce. I'm not sure if that makes us team good or team evil, or maybe it proves that those things make no sense, like this movie. Of course we save most of the darkness for after dark and focus on a debate over the nature of evil between Manachean dualism and St. Augustine's "absence of good" model of evil. If the world depended on getting Thomas to buy into this distinction as valuable, I'd recommend you use that last match to light up.  St. Augustine: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/augustine/ The Absence of Good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absence_of_good Video on the born sexy yesterday trope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0thpEyEwi80 What it's like trying to watch these movies: https://entertainment.theonion.com/woman-takes-short-half-hour-break-from-being-feminist-t-1819576049 Support us at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/0G  Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/0gPhilosophy Join our Facebook
