About this episode

The episode discusses Frank Castle's return as The Punisher and explores themes of anti-heroism and revenge.

Frank Castle is back and he’s seen John Wick. After locking up his guns for a few hours Frank is thrust back into the murder-spree lifestyle once it is revealed that Angela has been the boss all along. Is this an origin story of The Punisher as the anti-hero from the comics rather than a guy just out for revenge? Can Chekhov’s Daughter encourage some sort of MIrror Moltz Doctorine? Read along with our latest ep to find out!...
