Author Jeff Garvin and book blogger Dan Zarzana examine books & films through the lens of The Hero’s Journey. Pioneered by world-renowned teacher and mythologist Joseph Campbell, and refined by Disney story veteran Christopher Vogler, The Hero’s Journey is a series of motifs and archetypes that pervade myths, folklore, and stories across all cultures and eras. Each month, Jeff and Dan will discuss a different book or film. And probably, there will be some whiskey involved.

Customer Reviews
Engaging podcast!
Always on topic, dissect the film chronologically, whilst intermittent excerpts from the reviewed film keep you engaged the whole way. I also appreciate the refrain from crudity, foul language by remaining sincere and s as always on topic.
So good!!
I don’t usually review anything but hot dog diggity dog I’ve been enjoying this podcast!
I’ve started walking so much just to find an excuse to listen to these dudes, so insightful and funny!
Love your work lads, keep it up!
Josh, (Australia) p.s would love you to do an Australian movie for one of the episodes? Maybe Mad Max? Or Crocodile Dundee? Cheers mate!
Campbell, movies, books and beer - what’s not to love?
As a big Campbell fan and film reviewer myself I highly rate this podcast. Great insight, research, conversation and humour. I even enjoy the mini book and beer reviews that arrive like refreshing palate cleansers.
Cheers guys, keep doing what you love and follow that bliss.
