174: The Problem with Being Preachy

Today we discuss the problem of preachiness in storytelling, and why we'd rather hear a well-told story we disagree with, than a poorly-told story that confirms our biases. As a warning, we talk about a number of films in this episode and spoil some of them, including Inside Out, Ex Machina, Arrival, John Q, Up, Contagion, The Dark Knight, and probably a few others. Before it's over, we also discuss our own experiences in storytelling– Kevin with his work on The Ceiling Fan podcast, and Josh with his work on the YouTube series Brother Brother Time.
