#14 Are These Characters Actually Evil? | Breaking Down Morally Grey Icons
17 Jun 2025
This week, we’re joined by a new guest, Chris, as we dive into the messy world of morally grey characters, people, and actions. We explore betrayal by friends, the blurred lines between right and wrong, and whether certain choices can ever be justified. From real-life situations to fictional icons like Joe from YOU and Walter White from Breaking Bad, we unpack what makes someone truly “bad”This week’s bonus content episode dives even deeper into the morally grey—where things get darker, messier, and way more questionable. We talk about actions that might cross the line into serious territory (allegedly), and debate whether certain behaviors are forgivable... or something else entirely. 🤫 Above The Influence is a completely self funded podcast.
