The main task of JUST FYI POD: CULTURE’s first season is to explore the “20 Most Spiritually Significant Films of All Time.” On this episode, authors Christopher B. Barnett and Amy Welborn continue their discussion—this time focusing on the #6 film on their respective lists. Amy begins with Federico Fellini’s 1954 drama THE ROAD (LA STRADA), while Chris follows with an examination of Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1999 drama MAGNOLIA. These are two classic films from two celebrated auteurs, both of which explore the stubbornness of sin (particularly masculine sin) and the hope (or is it the need?) for divine redemption. As ever, see cbarnett.substack.com for more details, including relevant links, clips, etc. Please like, rate, comment, and share!
