Self-Numbing Cultural Stasis and The Irishman

catholic, cinema, marriage, movies
We do some follow up from last week’s insanely popular episode and Love and Respect by drawing out the difference between Feminization and Emasculation of the Church today. Then we pull out some great answers by our Patrons when we asked them, “What does Respect mean to you or look like?” Finally, we dive into our central topic: have we forgotten how to tell stories? The contemplative cinema of The Irishman is compared to mainstream superhero movies, and we ask if Netflix can play the role of Cinema Savior or Common Experience Destroyer. Check out the show notes for tons of additional content to watch.
