Jason and Abbey discuss the classic dichotomy of good vs. evil and the menace of a hymn sung darkly in Charles Loughton's "Night of the Hunter", starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish. 

Sacred Obscura is a podcast of film and faith that aims to map out spiritual themes in film both conventional and strange. In our debut episode, we discuss Paul Schrader's 2017 film First Reformed and reflect on the contemporary denominational divides, transcendental film, and the longing for God that permeates all narrative. So join us, and bear with first rough offering, on our exploration of First Reformed.
