Superhero Ethics

Matthew Fox, Paul Hoppe

Booking Overview

An interview-led pop-culture ethics show examines moral questions through superhero films and television, science fiction, comics, and related geek culture, with recurring guests including academics, historians, comedians, and media commentators. Agencies could credibly pitch ethics scholars, film and television critics, comic-book historians, mythology experts, and entertainment professionals with substantive perspectives on adaptation or representation; booking difficulty is likely low because recent guests are accessible subject-matter professionals rather than major celebrities.
