Tell The Damn Story, Ep 274: Can Old Heroes Fit In A New World?

Tell The Damn Story

Here's another way of looking at this episode.

"Are Some Genres Aging Out of Audiences & Readership?"

With Flinch Books' John Bruening and Jim Beard, Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan discuss whether pulp, adventure, and other older genres are still marketable.

While we enjoyed these films, we couldn't help but notice the outdated sensibilities and lack of political correctness present in the 1940s. This got us thinking: Can these types of tropes and characters still have a place in society today? What still works, and what has to change?

We'll dive deep into this question and explore the critiques of the new Indiana Jones movie from younger people. Are these iconic heroes still relevant in the modern world?

Let us know in the comments.
