Wild Men, Vikings and Toxic Masculinity!

This video is sponsored! I know! It's a tie-in for a film! How cool is that?

Anyway, the movie is "Wild Men", a Danish independent film about mental health, masculinity, and struggling with modern life and the 9-5 of office work. And it has Sofie Gråbøl in it. So obviously it's great.

So let's discuss masculinity, both toxic and otherwise, in the Viking age, and what the average Norse person might have aimed for to be a "good man" or a "real man" or even an "honourable man". We'll talk berserkers, violence, sagas, and I'll get paid by a cool film production company! Win win!

Enjoy! And remember: you're great just as you are.

Wild Men is in UK and Ireland cinemas from 6 May. Tickets available from wildmen.co.uk
