Inquiry: BEN THOMPSON: Badass: The Birth of a Legend

What do Zeus, Rama, Sinbad, Finn McCool, Oya, Professor James Moriarity, The White Tights, Darth Vader, The Furies and the Daleks all have in common? They are all considered “badasses” by tonight’s guest, author BEN THOMPSON. His book BADASS: THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND: SPINE CRUSHING TALES OF THE MOST MERCILESS GODS, MONSTERS, HEROES, VILLAINS AND MYTHICAL CREATURES EVER ENVISIONED is a wild romp through the heroic tales of mythology and pop culture, and the men, women, gods, goddesses, and creatures that make them great tales. Tune in for an over the top, entertaining discussion of what it takes to be a legendary “badass” and a heated discussion as to whether James T. Kirk should be up there with Cthulhu and Anubis.
