Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
"The wages of cinema is death."
A movie podcast where theology meets banter.
In each episode, we discuss a film that we love (or love to hate). We explore it through a series of prompts, like "Who would you pray for in this movie?" or "Would this movie be better with Kirk Cameron?"
It's part movie review, part spiritual reflection. All good times.
Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
4. Spotlight by Tom McCarthy
If it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to abuse one.
And, ya know, it takes a village to...make a podcast? I don't know. I'm sorry. This isn't a very laugh-y movie.
Join the gang as we dive into the 2015 investigative drama Spotlight, which chronicles a team of Boston journalists as they uncover the rampant abuse cover-ups happening in the Catholic Church.
Did the MCU dull the shine of all the stars in this film? Does Rachel McAdams have more acting chops than Amy Adams? Does John think that the Catholic Church is a victim of an unfair witch hunt? (He doesn't). We'll answer these and many more.
