Philosophy at the Movies - A podcast by Stockdale Center - Shaun Baker, PhD.

How does this horror/suspense film engage with recent philosophical thought experiments having to do with brain transplants and issues of personal identity? How does producer/director Jordan Peele utilize awkwardness in white/black relations to build suspense and foreboding in his audience? What did he intend to tell us regarding the challenges that young black males face when interacting with law enforcement? How do the several alternate endings he filmed reveal his own views and hopes on the subject?
