Ep 57: 2015 - Irrational Man *Discussion*

We are back on the retrospective with another somewhat interesting moral murder think piece by Woody

 

In Irrational Man (2015) Cynical philosophy professor Abe Lucas (Joaquin Phoenix) drowns his existential despair in booze at a small-town college. Sparks fly with two women: Rita (Parker Posey), a dissatisfied wife, and Jill (Emma Stone), a bright student. But a overheard sob about a corrupt judge ignites Abe's dormant nihilism. Tempted by a rash act of "justice," he grapples with the allure of meaning through chaos, questioning whether life's absurdities deserve defiance or resignation.
