Violence

Studio 360 this week covers violence; Chuck Palahniuk is featured as the guest commentator for most of the show. Toward the end of a show, Palahniuk and host Kurt Anderson discuss Shaun of the Dead the function of zombies in entertainment/catharsis, and Derrida:

Kurt Anderson: "It always gets back to Jacques Derrida, doesn't it?"

Chuck Palahniuk: "Or Michel Foucault."

Also includes discussions with Jack Handey (on violence against martians) and Foley artist Jocelyn Gonzalez on how to create fight sounds.
