In this bonus episode, Steven and Alex, with a loving yet critical eye, take a look at one of the most iconic movies of all time: Stephen King's Shawshank Redemption. Topics explored include: What are Andy Dufrene's character qualities that allow him to endure the arbitrary cruelties of prison life and aid him in his successful plot to escape?; What can we learn from this movie about how power and authority corrupts institutional life?; Is this movie a critique of prison life itself?; What kind of redemption is achieved at the end of the movie, given Andy's innocence?
