The Hero's Journey is a phrase we are all familiar with, but what does it really mean? It's become a term that we often take for granted when we talk about some of our favorite films, books and television shows.

Joseph Campbell first unearthed the archetypal hero in his book, The Hero With 1000 Faces. The idea is based on common themes that exist across the mythology of many cultures.The work of Joseph Campbell has been referenced by countless films.

In this podcast, we explore how the Hero's Journey is evident in some of our favorite films and television shows. From Game of Thrones to Star Wars to Harry Potter, with a little Lord of the Rings mixed in, we hope you enjoy our discussion.
