Episode 72: Antiheroes & Antiheroines

We've talked about heroes. We've talked about villains. Now it's time to cover those protagonists that fall in between as we discuss cinema's great antiheroes and antiheroines. We'll discuss what distinguishes them from their more heroic and villainous counterparts, why they're so fascinating to moviegoers, and of course we'll run down our sometimes surprising lists of the best antiheroes from the silver screen.
