    1.5: FAMILY. ART. IT WILL TEAR YOU IN TWO [the fabelmans]

    Continuing our exploration of the coming of age genre, this week we dissect Spielberg's 2022 semi-autobiographical hit The Fabelmans, and ask if there is any biblical basis for art and creativity as a method of catharsis and reflection.
