Join us as we review Woody Allen's 1989 film, covering themes of New York City, sin, the director himself, and philosophical responses to WWII. Intro music: "Magne Pater" by Dominican Schola Cantorum. Outro music: "Introitus: Requiem aeternam" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

A discussion of Ermanno Olmi's 1978 film of vignettes from rural Lombard life. The style dubbed by one of our hosts as "a poor man's Terrence Malick" film, tune in as we offer a defense of why this movie is worth three hours of your time. Intro music: "Magne Pater" by Dominican Schola Cantorum. Outro music: "Wo soll ich fliehen hin, BMV 694" by J.S. Bach.

Our third time covering Terrence Malick, here in his early 1978 film on migrant workers. You can see Richard Gere harvesting wheat in the Texas Panhandle, echoing the story of Abraham and Sara, all shot in natural light and very often at dusk. Intro music: "Magne Pater" by Dominican Schola Cantorum. Outro music: suite from the film by Ennio Morricone.

A discussion of Martin Scorsese's 2016 film on Jesuit missionaries to Japan. Based on an earlier novel by Shūsaku Endō, we discuss themes of colonialism, courage before death, whether Star Wars and Spiderman actors were a good choice as priests, and whether the film's theology is snuff with that of the Church. Intro music: "Magne Pater" by Dominican Schola Cantorum. Outro music: "You Know How I Do" by Taking Back Sunday.
