Listen to the archive of yesterday’s Graphic Policy Radio with guest Scott Eric Kaufman, or take it on the go and listen to it later.

Memorial Day is when we remember the men and women who died while serving the United States Armed Forces, and we’re spending it discussing Marvel Comics’ Star Spangled veteran who has given his life for his country Captain America.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is still in theaters and the highest grossing film globally of 2014 so far. It tackles the very real issues of privacy, the “security state,” civil liberties, and militarization of technology. We discussed this, Arrow, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and more!

Scott is the proprietor of the AV Club’s Internet Film School and an associate editor at The Raw Story. He also writes for Lawyers, Guns & Money, podcasts, and is an expert on Game of Thrones.
