Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
"The wages of cinema is death."
A movie podcast where theology meets banter.
In each episode, we discuss a film that we love (or love to hate). We explore it through a series of prompts, like "Who would you pray for in this movie?" or "Would this movie be better with Kirk Cameron?"
It's part movie review, part spiritual reflection. All good times.
Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
23. Nickel Boys by RaMell Ross
For our first episode of Black History Month, we’d like to put a little extra shine on a spectacular film from 2024, RaMell Ross’ Nickel Boys.
Following the perspective (quite literally) of two young black teenagers in a 1960’s reformatory school, this movie forces the audience to walk in their shoes as they navigate injustice and prejudice.
It’s honestly…kind of a brutal movie, and so our episode isn’t as lighthearted as you may be used to. But we hope that we can shed some Gospel hope on a movie that, while bleak, has a lot of light to reflect.
Thanks for listening!
