On episode 195, we welcome Eric G. Wilson to discuss the cult classic âPoint Blankâ, toxic masculinity and its deleterious mental health effects, what made the protagonist so appealing, Lee Marvinâs real-life war trauma, the obsession with revenge and if it ever resolves pain, the unpredictability of the universe and our never-ending quest for control, if one can ever offset trauma, the nature and purpose of flashbacks in PTSD, the comedy in the film and the inherent lunacy of payback, decision-making when healing and asking what would actually help, the parallels between âPoint Blank and Michael Mannâs âThiefâ, and leaving the wheel of Samsara when giving up oneâs aggressive impulses.
Eric G. Wilson is the Thomas H. Pritchard Professor of English at Wake Forest University. He is the author of books Against Happiness: In Praise of Melancholy, an LA Times bestseller; Everyone Loves a Good Train Wreck: Why We Canât Look Away; and Keep it Fake: Inventing an Authentic Life, How to Be Weird: An Off-Kilter Guide to Living a One-of-a-Kind Life as well as many other books exploring connections among literature, film, and psychology.
