Midway through Season 2 of The Lit-Knitters, Sam, Jace, and Preston reconvene over Zoom to discuss the 2019 film Jojo Rabbit, directed by Taika Waititi, alongside Art Spiegelman's renowned graphic novel Maus. In the episode, the guys discuss ways in which satire either extends, limits, or abuses the power of empathy, and the degree to which "cartoonizing" evil can both prevent evil and rectify its damages and horrors.
