"But how should God be rendered in the motion picture?" When Joel and Ethan Coen filmed that scene in "Hail, Caesar!" in which various religious leaders evaluated the depiction of Jesus in the movies, they forgot to write Elijah's and Josh's part. In this episode, they pull up their own seat at the table and weigh in on the controversy.   

The Christ figure is a common movie trope. When all hope is lost, a messianic hero swoops in to save the day. Is this a dull cliche or does it reflect something deeper, something important about all stories? Josh and Elijah work through this question by examining some of the Christ figures found in the movies.

Are they more than just escapist fantasy, luring us away from our responsibilities to be enchanted by their spell? Josh and Elijah tackle this question in the first episode of the Foxfire Farmhouse Podcast.
