Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix | Christian Movie Review (Ep 439)

Love or hate Christopher Nolan's take on The Odyssey? Agree or disagree with changes he made? It's certainly not the most radical revision of this ancient story, as this Coen Brothers' classic does (not to mention Wishbone). However, this is a great example of how (intentional or not) our narratives often have similarities with different window dressing. Revisit this beloved version set in 1930s Mississippi with OG hosts Richard and David. Originally released Dec 5, 2017. #theodyssey #coenbrothers #obrotherwhereartthou #georgeclooney #FaithAndFilm #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #ChristianPodcast #MediaLiteracy #reformedtheology Intro Music by Ross Bugden: https://youtu.be/Bln0BEv5AJ0?si=vZx_YiHK3hNxaETA

This week we look at the Christian perspective on identity: Where we falsely attempt to find our identity, and what Scripture says about who we are. Memento, Catch Me If You Can, and Wreck-It Ralph ensues.
