Black Nerd Talks

Episode 14 | Code Geass; Finding Purpose Beyond Betrayal & Victimhood

Episode Summary

We've all had shows that had a profound impact on us, especially in this space of nerd culture. Be it a video game franchise, a phenomenal comic book run, or an amazing comic book movie.... This week my guest Jordan and I talk about our shared experience on the Code Geass franchise and how it had a profound impact on how we saw the world around us, and the realm of politics. Code Geass is often sited as a show steeped in betrayal, something both Jordan and I have experienced in our lives, and how we overcame it, that made us connect with Lelouch. We also get into various debates regarding characters motivations in the show, as well how Code Geass way of tackling current world issues is still relevant. Hope you enjoy this, fellow nerds!
