Episode 080: The Princess Bride

Posted on by thisispatch.

It is inconceivable to us that The Princess Bride turns 30 years old this year. This classic is cemented into pop culture, known for its memorable dialogue. Surprisingly, we manage not to turn this episode into a quote-a-long (although it was pretty tempting). We do, however, find plenty of themes to discuss – like friendship, revenge, and (of course) true love. It is an extra special treat to talk through one of our favorite films of all-time and we think you’ll enjoy this one.

Episode 079: Blade Runner 2049

Posted on by thisispatch.

For the second week in a row we’ve got replicant fever and are trying to answer that nagging question, “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” Blade Runner 2049 inspires us to honor its epic length with some extended conversation of our own. There is plenty to discuss in the incredible new film from Denis Villeneuve so join us for an in-depth journey as we explore the film’s emotional and philosophical impact on us.

The Big Sick

Posted on by thisispatch.

Podcast: Reel World Theology
Guests: Aaron and Jeremy
Synopsis: One of the best things about doing this podcast is finding films you truly connect with that maybe didn’t have huge theatrical runs or huge opening weekends but are still among the year’s best. The Big Sick was just that. Hitting two genres we rarely get to cover (comedy and romance), the movie has both laughs and heart. What can we take away from this one? Well, it only seems appropriate to have some of the guys from Feelin’ Film on this one.

Listen to the episode HERE.

Episode 078: Blade Runner

Posted on by thisispatch.

Few movies have had as profound an impact on our thoughts of what it means to be human as Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. We welcome first time guest James Harleman, Blade Runner superfan, to the podcast and spend some time unpacking the film’s numerous themes and questions about identity.

Episode 077: The Outsiders

Posted on by thisispatch.

We’ve reached the penultimate episode of book-to-movie month. This week we’re tackling the Francis Ford Coppola adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s classic novel, The Outsiders. This film’s cast list reads like a who’s who of eventual Hollywood stars, and though the plot is a familiar one it is no less moving. We get into the film’s themes and try our best to “stay gold” throughout.

Episode 076: Silver Linings Playbook

Posted on by thisispatch.

It’s week three of our book-to-movie series here in September and in this episode we are discussing the 2012 David O. Russell adaptation of Matthew Quick’s hit novel. Silver Linings Playbook offers us a peak into lives we don’t often see on a Hollywood screen, and particularly not in a way that results in romance. We have a great time discussing how these relationships make us feel and what we might learn from them.

Episode 075: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Posted on by thisispatch.

It’s week two of class in our book-to-movie month, and this episode we are discussing a film we both have an extreme affection for. Stephen Chbosky’s incredible story, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, is so much more than just another teenage coming-of-age tale. We get deep, raw, and emotional as we talk about the movie and how we relate to its characters. It’s a special conversation and one we’d love for you to be a part of it by sharing your Connecting Point in our Facebook group after you listen.

Episode 074: Jurassic Park

Posted on by thisispatch.

We kick off book-to-movie month with arguably the best summer blockbuster ever made. Jurassic Park is one of those special films that evokes such a sense of awe and wonder that it captures the imaginations of adults and children alike. We talk through some of the present themes and reminisce about our own experiences with this Steven Spielberg masterpiece.

Episode 073: 12 Angry Men

Posted on by thisispatch.

In this episode, we examine a film considered to be a classic but which also has a huge amount of relevance in today’s cultural landscape. Our conversation about the 1957 directorial debut of Sidney Lumet is one we’ve been excited about for quite a while. It is a film that truly does make us feel many different emotions, and connecting with this one was not a problem. We hope you enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts on why 12 Angry Men is special to you.
