Ep 200 - The Antihero's Journey with Christoper Vogler

Geoffrey chats with legendary screenwriting guru and author of The Writer's Journey, Christopher Vogler. They discuss modern audiences' fascination with antiheroes in film and television. They explore why people love to watch a bad guy as the central character and how that can provide a level of catharsis and wish fulfillment. Christopher also discusses the origins of this form of storytelling going all the way back to the Greek and Roman Gods of Justice.<br /><br />You can find Chris' book The Writers Journey at:<br />https://www.amazon.com/dp/1615933158?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_K2X8S1JNSV1S8EGGD5TV<br /><br />Geoffrey's book, The Guide For Every Screenwriter is available at:<br />https://www.thesuccessfulscreenwriter.com/books<br /><br />Join our community and become a member for free <br />--&gt; https://www.thesuccessfulscreenwriter.com<br /><br />This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/4506618/advertisement">https://www.spreaker.com/show/4506618/advertisement</a>
