Our brave adventurers step off of the beaten path and find themselves lost in nature. They discuss spoilers that precede movies and books like Star Wars and Harry Potter. They then have a discussion about Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (00:15:18), which they break down into six themes: Nature (00:23:41), Compassion (00:33:42), Character and Virtue (00:43:18), Training the Mind and thoughts (00:49:18), Simplicity and Essentialism (00:57:34). Once they find their place in the universe, our adventurers bravely look ahead to next episode’s adventure - American Beauty by Sam Mendes (01:10:10).

The Intro bit was recorded by David Medus of MedusPod. Thanks, again!
