Because Catholics Like Movies, Too
Oh, blessed New Year indeed, that brings together an all-star podcast cast of TheTimMan, Bo Bonner, and myself to review the all-star cast filled The Irishman, Martin Scorsese’s latest triumph.
Stay tuned for a once-a-month podcast schedule going forward, and enjoy!

Two podcasts published in one week? Christmas has come early this year!
Not for the squeamish, but perhaps not as Tarantino-ish as expected, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is one of the most interesting films of 2019. A love letter to film and friendship, it is a nostalgic (and self-referential) leisurely and vulgar stroll through an alternate history of the Manson Family murders and old Hollywood with stellar performances throughout.
We explore the scenes and themes – and stay tuned for my particularly crazy read at the end.

Here it is, the most highly anticipated sequel since whatever the latest Star Wars movie was – the second half of our Godfather discussion, focusing on the equally great (or greater) film, The Godfather Part II (1974).
I (correctly) favor Part II, while TheTimMan prefers the easy-pleaser that is Part I. My wife casts the deciding vote.
We discuss the melancholic younger brother (no wonder I like it!) at length, including Al Pacino’s incredible performance and some of the Catholic background environs.
Enjoy!

Hey there, faithful listener – long time, no see (or hear)!
The reasons for the relatively lengthy layoff are nothing compared to the payoff: thetimman and I discuss – at length – a movie that needs no introduction, the absolute masterpiece, the stone-cold classic, The Godfather Part I.
We examine everything from Tim’s Brando impersonation to what the movie has to say about the pre-Vatican II Church, and even learn whether or not my wife liked it.
It got so long, in fact, that we had to push the discussion of The Godfather Part II to a second podcast, to be released in the near future.
Enjoy!
