In celebration of Spielberg's new movie "Disclosure Day" and as our contribution to America's 250th birthday, we did a deep dive into one of Jeff's favorite, most rewatchable movies: 2012's Lincoln.There is much to say here about the Heroism of 9s in their most difficult moments. This should be a three parter, and as you can see, we are going for depth. So grab some scotch or a lawnmower, set aside some space, and jump in with us!

TJ and Jeff take a moment to do the enneagram work of typing these characters and land somewhere with Charles Xavier they didn't expect.

We continue our dive into the characters of Magneto and Professor X, their heroism, their villany and what it says about us.

This episode continues our hero series with a deep dive into one of the most complex characters in comic book storytelling: Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto.Alongside film expert Steve Morris, we explore the tension between Erik and Charles Xavier—two leaders shaped by radically different experiences of trauma, privilege, and power. The conversation moves through key scenes from the X-Men films to examine questions of justice, violence, and what it means to be a “hero” in a fractured world.We discuss the danger of reducing people to categories, the role of trauma in shaping moral vision, and the competing claims of nonviolence versus force. Along the way, the episode connects these themes to real-world conflicts, showing how easily the line between hero and villain can blur depending on perspective.This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and the kind of person we become when we decide how to confront evil.
