The Importance of Art and a 2018 Movie Roundup (Uncommon Good)

This week I once again suckered Bo Bonner and Dr. Bud Marr of  The Uncommon Good on Iowa Catholic Radio (heard on 1150 AM, 88.5 FM, and 94.5 FM) to have me on. We started with a lengthy discussion on the value and importance of art and ended with our thoughts on most of the big movies of 2018.  For the convenience of my legions of fans, they have also graciously allowed me to post the entire hour-long show here on my feed.

I am planning on being back next week with a new episode covering The Avengers 2 and Solo. Until next time…

Annihilation/2018 First Quarter Roundup

It’s been a while, but never fear – your Catholic Movie Guy and Professor Bo Bonner have been seeing all the films of 2018 so you don’t have to (unless you want to, of course)!

In this podcast, Bo and I canvass the notable films of 2018’s first three months, including: Black Panther, Paddington 2, Early Man, Death Wish, and Game Night.

We conclude with an extended discussion of the merits of writer/director Alex Garland’s Annihilation, starring Natalie Portman.

Enjoy!
