29. The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick

31. Hell or High Water by David Mackenzie

Grab your ski masks, movie fans.  This week, the gang covers a film that feels criminally under appreciated, which is funny because of how criminal the actions in this movie are.  Hell or High Water is a neo-Western that examines the malaise of living in a small Texas town where the charm of a peaceful rural existence has been sabotaged by big banks and predatory corporations.  It’s also got lots of bank robbing, which is sick.  Join us as we ask hard hitting questions like, “What happened to the man who ordered trout at that restaurant?” and “Could Kirk Cameron have improved this film somehow?” Thanks for being here!  Follow our Insta [https://www.instagram.com/lord_forgive_us_our_cinema/]!

30. Disney's Mulan

LETS GET DOWN TO PODCAST  The people asked and we answered. The 1998 smash phenomenon, Mulan.  A powerful female lead, a hilarious side character lizard, and an extraordinary amount of violence for a Disney film. What else could you ask for?  Join us as we ask the questions other podcasts are afraid to ask: Does anyone care that the bad guy Hun was actually Puerto Rican? Is this afterlife even worse than Coco’s? Is Mushu a problematic name, or just a delicious name?  Thanks for being here!  Follow our Insta [https://www.instagram.com/lord_forgive_us_our_cinema/]!

29. The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick

Well, well, well.  It’s about time we talked about some REAL cinema. Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life is not your typical popcorn blockbuster fare. It’s a slow burning, meditative contemplation on familial loss and the feeling of God’s absence. At times it feels more like a poem or painting than it does a film.  So join the Fab Four as we dive into our deepest film so far. We’ll ask timeless questions like, “Why do boys act like that?” and “Is that dinosaur a kind of Christ figure?” You won’t wanna miss it.

28. The Thing by John Carpenter

Okay, here's the thing.  Hahahahahaha.  No but seriously.  This movie is so bonkers. Gripping paranoia, brain-melting special effects, and whatever that giant hat was that Kurt Russell wore. Everything about this movie just rocks to high heaven.  But honestly, we're here to ask the questions that no other podcast is BRAVE enough to ask. Like, why isn't Keith David more appreciated? What happened to Wilford Brimley's mustache? Is "the thing" just a metaphor for the Pentecost? And how does this story relate to church history? Tune in for all this and much, much more.  Thanks for listening. Follow our Insta [https://www.instagram.com/lord_forgive_us_our_cinema/]!

27. Mean Girls by Mark Waters

We hope you're wearing pink today (it's Wednesday). Another film from the millennial hall of fame.  When we say that this movie was inescapable when it came out in 2004, we literally mean INESCAPABLE. There are lines that I didn't even know were from this movie until a couple of years ago. That's timelessness, wow.  Let's explore what it is about high school cliques, fitting in, and white girls from the nation of Africa that's so darn compelling. And the typical LFOC whimsy you've come to love, like, "Was the gymnasium scene too youth group-ish?"  Thanks for being here!  Follow our Insta [https://www.instagram.com/lord_forgive_us_our_cinema/]!
