 nuel\, 8844 Burton Way Beverly Hills\, CA 90211. Parking available on lo

 dmission) Really Special Deal! $38: 1 General Admission ticket with one 
 copy of Peter Biskind’s The Sky is Falling: How Vampires\, Zombies\, And
 roids\, and Superheroes Made America Great for Extremism. What does pop 
 culture have to do with the lack of common ground in Washington? What re
 lationship does the blockbuster have with growing political extremism in
  our country and abroad? What do superhero action fantasies bearing litt
 le or no resemblance to reality have in common with the new ideological 
 landscape of our country and others around the world? Peter Biskind\, ob
 server of all things related to film\, argues that for the past several 
 decades\, both the left and the right have vaulted their themes into our
  culture\, via movies and television shows featuring superheroes\, super
  cops\, super spies\, and super robots to create us-against-them extreme
 s. The X-Men and Dark Knight franchises\, to name only two\, not only re
 sonate with\, but have helped to create\, the political conversation in 
 America today. The mainstream\, Biskind argues\,of cops and robbers\, do
 ctors and patients\, has been supplanted by fiery comic-book violence\, 
 or subtle ideological rhetoric and has put science\, reason\, goodness o
 n the defensive.\n\nMore info: https://writersblocpresents.com/main/pete
