Episode 104: Smelling Salts for Morality: Our Top 3 Movies About Empathy (with Paul Bloom)

Very Bad Wizards

CHAPTER

Never Let Me Go by Ava Paul

This is the one I'm not going to talk about, but Nightcrawler. The main character in that movie is devoid of empathy. He doesn't feel bad when they feel bad. But he's also a terrible person in so many other ways. This was also recommended on Facebook, but I didn't have enough empathy to remember who did it. That's right. As soon as Paul came check to the Twitter person, I was like, fuck, where are we supposed to be? So this is Never Let Me Go. It's directed by Mark Romanek, written by Alex Garland, who also did X Machina and wrote in direct X Nexis.
