Episode 128: Father Stu
Something Old:
Skye’s: Sister Act
Josh’s: Rudy
Something New: Father Stu
Josh’s Proposal: Father Stu is a movie worth seeing, but misses the mark, because it never really answers the question why did Stu come to faith? Or more specifically, why did he become a priest?
Skye’s Proposal: Father Stu is an example of what Paul was told, when God said “My strength is made perfect in your weakness”
Something Borrowed: Mark Wahlberg Interview: Star of Father Stu (2022) on Playing a Priest, The Fighter 2, More Projects
Something Blew:
Jason’s: Russian Doll

Something Old:
Kaitlyn’s: Pollyanna
Josh’s: Teen Wolf
Skye’s: Big
Something New: Turning Red
Josh’s Proposal: Turning Red is a great example of “write what you know”
Skye’s Proposal: Turning Red had really admirable goals but failed to deliver on them.
Kaitlyn’s Proposal: It’s a really moving coming of age story, has a really beautiful message about family and especially Mother-Daughter relationships, but it unfortunately is caught up in an American Christian Culture war about identity and self actualization that causes us to misinterpret it.
Something Borrowed: Embrace the Panda: Making Turning Red
Something Blew:
Josh’s: CODA
Jason’s: You’ll Never Edit an Unfunny Film Again.
Kaitlyn’s: Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King
Skye’s: Benjamin Franklin

Customer Reviews
Enjoyable
Borrowed always helps me visit the classics (how have I not seen some of these!) and Blew opens the door to some amazing current stuff (like Blockbuster wow thanks Jason!)
Great movie podcast
Good thoughts on movies delivered in an entertaining way. I don’t always agree with the “proposals,” but their conversations always intrigue me about the movies they’re talking about.
I appreciate that you are willing to go into “spoilers” for the sake of a good conversation. It may not be how everyone likes to watch movies, but I enjoy them more if I know a bit about the plot before going in.
My only critique is that it’s too short! I would love more in depth thoughts about the films.
Great Podcast!
