Season 3 Episode 2!
Join Wholesome and Heathen as they dive into the philosophy of Confucius. You know that Confucius says things, but what things?

Learn about the five constant virtues, the importance of family, and what species of animals Heathen can't differentiate in today's heavenly mandated episode!

Welcome Back!
Join Wholesome and Heathen as they welcome you back for Season 3! This season, they're breaking down philosophy - one philosopher at a time - by giving you an intro course into the most famous philosophers and why they're famous.

Starting of the list is a man almost as famous for his philosophy as he is his moustache: Neitzche. What did he have to say about suffering and the master-slave dynamic? And what exactly is an Ubermensch? How does any of this possibly relate to Shrek or Toy Story? Buzz in to find out! Direct questions, comments, concerns, and ways to enhance your suffering to better yourself to our inbox at Contact@wholesomeandheathen.com

P.S. - We missed you.

Join Wholesome and Heathen for their Season 2 Finale! And what better film to center on for a finale than Minority Report!

And if you're stopped from committing them, were they ever going to happen to begin with? Let your brain go topsy-turvy trying to figure out where responsibility ends and destiny takes over with our mind-bending finale!

Join Wholesome and Heathen as they discuss the concept of Hedonism, and two of the most Hedonistic films of all time: Wolf of Wall Street (of course) and... Inside Out!?

That's right! Learn of the ancient philosophers Aristippus and Epicurus, and see what they have to say about how to best live a life of pleasure! What brings about true joy? Is it purely physical, can it be mental, and are there any other metrics to determine pleasure?

All this and more in season 2's penultimate episode!

Join Wholesome and Heathen as they take an adventurous look at The Secret Life of Walter Mitty! This movie has a lot to say about how to live life, but how much of that comes from Philosophers? Learn, too, of the value of judging a book by its cover with Aestheticism. What is it (besides a very difficult word to say) and how does art tie into Philosophy?

Join Wholesome and Heathen as the touch on one of the most culturally impacting films of the late 2000's - The Dark Knight! This movie is absolutely stuffed full of Philosophy, but this episode concentrates on the truth. Is the truth always best? What is the value, if any, of a white lie? Is it okay to lie to comfort someone in dire straights? And in what situations are lies accepted and almost valued? If you thought the truth was simple, think again! Wholesome and Heathen are here to confuse your most basic understandings of reality and virtue with the flare, good humor, and better looks you know them for.
