The Pacifica Papers: Essays on Pop Culture, Mythology, and Flatulence

by Craig Titley, Steven Samblis (Editor)

Hollywood screenwriter and television producer Craig Titley (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scooby-Doo, Cheaper by the Dozen, Percy Jackson & the The Lightning Thief, Star The Clone Wars) has, for the first time, put together a collection of 24 essays written as part of his Phd program in Mythological Studies. These essays on pop culture and mythology contain his thought-provoking and often amusing reflections on topics such The Matrix, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Barton Fink and writing for Hollywood, Kung Fu cinema, Joseph Campbell, farting tricksters, zombies, comedy, fairy tales, screenwriting... and a complete Jungian analysis of Scooby-Doo. If you're interested in diving into the deep end of pop culture and mythology then Titley's unique perspective as a Hollywood screenwriter, television producer, mythologist, and self-described Trickster may be just what the doctor ordered.
