Faith in Focus episodes

  • History Rhymes (Season Eleven Pilot)

    Faith in Focus is beginning its 11th season, and we wanted to recognize the precarious times we're in. Mark Twain is said to have remarked, "History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes." We're hearing a lot of rhyming as fascism spreads across the world, and we'll look at it the way we always do: through the lens of faith and film.

    Our pilot episode this season is in the capable yet unsettling hands of "The Meaning of Hitler" (2020).

  • A Decade of Podcasts, A Century of Movies • 2010s

    We've made it to the 2010s, and with that, to the end of our Decade season! (We're already jazzed for season eleven, so get ready for some teasers.) Our season finale looks to the heavens with two films centered on space travel.

  • A Decade of Podcasts, A Century of Movies • 1990s

    The twentieth century comes to a close as a familiar guest, friend of the pod, and all-around lovely human being Derrick Weston joins us. The theme: Things Aren't Always As They Seem.

    Taking as inspiration the powerful work of August Wilson (rest in peace), co-hosts Tracy and Jason will be talking two movies each month that look at an entire decade – one made in the decade, and one made later on that looks back on it.

    They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969)
