How can your perceived weaknesses be turned into strengths? Do you relate to being labeled as the bad guy?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are reacting to Wreck-It Ralph and breaking down Ralph’s role as the bad guy. They talk about Ralph not wanting to be a villain and learning to use his gifts for good. They discuss the deeper meaning of being perceived as bad, the roles society assigns us, and how it’s all one big metaphor for life. Alan shares his appreciation for the script (the bad guy affirmation!), the comedy genius of Sarah Silverman, and how a cartoon bad guy can make him cry.

Thank you to our Patrons for picking this movie!

just me

Just starting to watch, but wanted to let you know that there IS a Wreck-It Ralph arcade game!! Press Start in Rapid City, SD, has it downstairs in their retro dungeon right near a LOT of the other classics! ❤️

All mankind

The bit where Ralph breaks Penelope's car has to be the scariest scene of any Disney movie. I don't know how they ever allowed it. Like, if you have been a child and had a grown-up friend show you that you can't fight them (like by hanging you up in a tree) and take away something you care about for reasons that they think are clever and responsible but you know are wrong but they can't be bothered to listen to you, you don't need the animation and voice performances and stuff to make it unforgettable.
