Matinee Heroes is a podcast dedicated to exploring hero cinema - from adventurers, heroes, and superheroes; from Jedi to buddy cops; from the Wild West, to the distant past, to futures both hopeful and dystopian, from ancient lands to the deepest reaches of outer space. In a time when we need heroes more than ever, Alan and Craig will try to understand just what makes our cinematic heroes tick, and how we can use that heroism in our everyday life.
Alan and Craig discuss black face, controversy and can agents be good people while celebrating Matinee Birthdays Month with the great comedy "Tropic Thunder" on this week's Matinee Heroes!
Next week it's go big or go home with "Boogie Nights"
