142: Movies Across the Seriousness Spectrum feat. The Winterstein Bros (Saints & Cinema)
The Substance
12/24/23 • 85 min
Merry Christmas, y'all! It's been an eventful year and we hope that you all have a nice time of rest over the holiday season.
We're joined here by Tim and Jay Winterstein from the Saints & Cinema podcast. Tim in a Lutheran pastor in Washington State, he writes about movies over at The Jagged Word, and does programming for a couple film festivals in different states. Jay went to film school and is the Senior Programmer for the Newport Beach Film Festival. They love engaging with movies, whether "serious" or just for fun, so they reached out and suggested we talk about how we can engage with and enjoy films that are made all over that spectrum.
Movies discussed: The Boondock Saints, Christmas Vacation, Dumb and Dumber, The Rock, Jackass Forever/Jackass 4.5, The Evil Dead, Calvary, A Hidden Life, Silence, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Spotlight, and After Yang.
Due to scheduling challenges, our Christmas movie episode recording has been delayed but feel free to go back and listen to past year's Christmas shows!

Once again, we recorded this episode a while back (a number of months ago, in this case) but due to the lamentable state of many things in the US, our episode this week feels eerily timely.
For our first Noirvember Substantive Cinema epsiode of 2024, we are looking at one of Samuel Fuller's most celebrated and highly regarded films, Shock Corridor. In the movie, Johnny Barrett, a journalist in pursuit of fame and acclaim, poses as a lunatic in order to infiltrate a mental institution where a murder has taken place. Can he keep his sanity long enough to solve the case and what will be left of him if he can?
In our discussion we cover: how Sam Fuller bluntly portrays America's various psychoses (nationalism, racial hatred, and the worship of violent power) in the three eyewitnesses that Johnny needs to interrogate, the legacy of Fuller's work in filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Spike Lee, and Jim Jarmusch, the role of journalism in a free society, and more!

We love sharing great movies with you all and it's especially enjoyable to highlight a film that is generally overlooked or that a majority of people may not be familiar with. This week we are looking at David Lynch's 1999 film The Straight Story. The movie is best experienced without knowing much about it (so if you haven't seen it before, stop reading and watch it now!) but it's a beautifully human, true story about a 73 year old man and the lengths he went to to try to reconcile with his older brother before anything else happened to them. More than one of us on this episode consider it a perfect film.
Our guest for this conversation is Relevant Senior Editor Tyler Huckabee. Tyler is a movie lover and has been a David Lynch fan for a long time. We talk about how The Straight Story is both an anomaly in Lynch's filmography as well as how it make complete sense. And be sure to listen all the way through for a great celebrity crush story that Tyler was generous enough to share.
**We are taking next week off for Easter Sunday to rest and enjoy the time with loved ones and hope you all have a wonderful, restful time. Feel free to share a favorite older episode with a friend and we will be back in your feeds the following week on 4/24!**

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter and are excited to be back in your ears!
On this episode we are joined by Hannah Chao of SOLA Network. SOLA Network is a Christian platform designed to influence the next generation of Christians (and current & older ones as well) specifically with a focus on Asian Americans, both creating content directly relevant to their experiences as well as being a platform to highlight and publish writers within that community to the larger American Church.
We cover a number of topics: the unique experiences that members of varying Asian American communities endure (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.), California geography, the benefits and challenges that Asian Americans are currently experiencing due to their increased representation in pop culture, the state of "Women's Ministry" in the modern Church, the "controversy" surrounding the Disney Pixar movie Turning Red, and more!
If you enjoy the show, consider taking 30 seconds and writing a 5-Star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and sharing with a friend who would also enjoy it! 😃
