the synopsis on this film is, at West Point in 1830, a weary detective investigates the murder and mutilation of a young cadet.

He does a really wonderful job in this film.

Elise CallistoVOICE_ACTOR
And that sure as shit wasn't through snorting the weird-ass fey drugs, which were probably being peddled by the gangs at his school.
Elise CallistoVOICE_ACTOR
Just thinking of how proud Mom had been when he'd gotten into Aurora Academy, how much it had meant to her that he would be getting a chance to better himself.
Elise CallistoVOICE_ACTOR
I knew in my bones he wouldn't have let her down like that.

Anthony Jenkins Jr.HOST
And then we had to go to Parker Puckett, unfortunately.
Anthony Jenkins Jr.HOST
Now, I know he is a walk-on freshman, and this kid coming from playing with Jackson Prep in Academy School, you know, it's hard to just expect for him to just perform well.
Anthony Jenkins Jr.HOST
I mean, Academy School is way different in the SEC.
Anthony Jenkins Jr.HOST
We can all agree.
Anthony Jenkins Jr.HOST
And I feel like he still did better.
Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
In this manner, he now spent five days at his Tusculan villa in discussing with his friends the several questions just mentioned.
Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
For, after employing the mornings in declaiming and rhetorical exercises, they used to retire in the afternoon into a gallery called the Academy, which he had built for the purpose of philosophical conferences, where, after the manner of the Greeks, he held a school, as they called it, and invited the company to call for any subject that they desired to hear explained, which, being proposed accordingly by some of the audience, became immediately the argument of that day's debate.
Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
These five conferences, or dialogues, he collected afterward into writing in the very words and manner in which they really passed, and published them under the title of his Tusculan Disputations, from the name of the villa in which they were held.
Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
End of introduction.

Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
And on this account I have always been pleased with the custom of the Peripatetics and Academics of disputing on both sides of the question, not solely from its being the only method of discovering what is probable on every subject, but also because it affords the greatest scope for practising eloquence, a method that Aristotle first made use of, and afterward all the Aristotelians.
Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
And in our own memory Philo, whom we have often heard, appointed one time to treat of the precepts of the rhetoricians, and another for philosophical discussion, to which custom I was brought to conform by my friends at my Tusculum, and accordingly our leisure time was spent in this manner.
Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
And therefore as yesterday before noon we applied ourselves to speaking, and in the afternoon went down into the Academy, the discussions which were held there I have acquainted you with, not in the manner of a narration, but in almost the very same words which were employed in the debate.
Geoffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
Four.
Caroline ThompsonHOST
The B&B selection out there, not exactly top notch.
Alex GoldmanHOST
Anyway, we watched a movie called The Witches of Amityville Academy.
Alex GoldmanHOST
Yeah.
Alex GoldmanHOST
So- So just so you guys know, this movie is it's Harry Potter.
Caroline ThompsonHOST
I think it's
Alex GoldmanHOST
on Tubi as well, but we watched it on YouTube.
Caroline ThompsonHOST
Yeah, I couldn't find it on Tubi maybe because I searched the witches of Amityville Academy and not the Amityville witches because I think once again, this has two names.
Alex GoldmanHOST
Yeah.
Alex PriouGUEST
It's kind of a work of many years.
Alex PriouGUEST
I wrote an article called Leo Strauss and the Academy or Leo Strauss and the Straussianism was I think the ultimate title was published in a truncated form.
Alex PriouGUEST
then other things uh and and this one was really saying okay well if it's about instantiating the ancient model and the academy what was this larger project this is a political project we're talking about that somehow influences his conception and so i tried to understand his project and it turned out to me it seemed like he was responding in part to heidegger's ill-fated efforts in in germany and so that chapter which is called now the first chapter is called political philosophy the first part it's called political philosophy second one's philosophic politics so the kind of inverse of it approaching the same thing from from below or maybe from the proper starting point and it's laying out what strauss was trying to do starting with heidegger's model but then really going to strauss own life story and his path and thought uh insofar as it it has a bearing on this question i can't obviously get into the nitty-gritty of the And so that's the overall look of the book.
Timon ClineHOST
Yeah.

Alex PriouGUEST
You only get glimpses of this in Plato and Xenophon.
Alex PriouGUEST
The Clyde-a-thon's an interesting place where he talks about going among the Socratics and they're all just refuting each other and the arguments go in circles.
Alex PriouGUEST
It's not very highfalutin and stuff, but the Academy is a kind of the friendliest of unfriendly homes, I like to put it.
Alex PriouGUEST
There is obviously a way in which you can discuss these tests, but obviously so much of what goes on in the Academy is kind of trifling and not fundamentally serious in this way.
