Fiction, Faith and Familiar Themes is a conversation about watching what we watch, read and listen to - through gospel lenses.
We’re going to be looking at popular movie tropes, narrative devices and the go-to plot points from that pop up time and again in our favourite movies, stories and media. Whether it’s what we stream, read listen to or play, human beings seem to be instinctively drawn to certain story beats and repeated themes.
