People are fascinated by psychopaths in a way that I'm not sure they understand what a real psychopath is like. They're just bad, horrible people that leave nothing but a trail of ruin behind them. In my moral reasoning seminars, they all want to do a paper on psychopaths at the end. That's their choice.
Philosophers can be funny and funny movies can be philosophical. David and Tamler welcome frequent VBW guest and arch-enemy of empathy Paul Bloom to discuss their five favorite comic films with philosophical/psychological themes. Groundhog Day was off-limits for our top five (we would've all chosen it) so we start by explaining why it's the quintessential movie for this topic.
