A podcast rooted in movies, but open to whatever happens to be on my mind. Sometimes it’s a film review. Sometimes a movie leads into thoughts about faith, culture, life, a conversation, an experience, or an idea I can’t quite shake. There’s no fixed subject beyond an ongoing attempt to pay attention to the things that seem worth thinking about a little longer. Part film commentary, part reflection, part public journal. Come see what I noticed.
