Sherlock Holmes (2009) - Are We Ruled By Fear? - DOTR #131

This week, we watched Guy Ritchie's 2009 Sherlock Holmes! Surprisingly enough, even though the film stars Robert Downey, Jr., Dietz really liked it! There's a lot to love here, with the excellent directing, casting, set design, and writing. We talk about the adaptation of Sherlock Holmes to a modern audience, the role of intertextuality in this (and all) story, as well as recognizing Holmes as the poster child for critical thinking and examining the role fear plays in shaping who we are and what we allow to happen to uslWe'd love to hear your thoughts about this episode, film, or DOTR generally.
