The Thin PlaceA podcast exploring the intersection between film and spirituality. Author: Film Geek Radio
Join Ken and Todd every two weeks as they explore films that are about or advance our understanding of issues of faith and spirituality. Some films may do so overtly, through a direct examination of these themes as subjects; others may be more subtle or even opaque in the way they prompt us to think on such things. Still other films may serve primarily as a catalyst for dialogue or discussion. Insights can be gleaned from a part of a larger whole, a scene, a shot, a moment. As the title suggests, such moments can be elusive, fragile, or obscured. George MacDonald wrote about the thinness of the veil that separates the natural from the transcendent. How does art pierce that veil? When does film contain traces of the divine? Tune in to find out. Language: en-us Genres: TV & Film Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Episode #46: Violence in The Edge of Tomorrow
Thursday, 26 June, 2014
Back after a hiatus, Ken and Todd discuss Doug Liman's sci-fi film, The Edge of Tomorrow. Why is the way violence is represented in the film particularly disturbing? Are we intended to laugh at it? And why does Todd say the movie reminded him of watching someone play a video game? DON'T FORGET: You can contact us by emailing thethinplace@filmgeekradio.com. Thanks for listening!
