JUST FYI POD: CULTURE

SEASON 1, EPISODE 20: “Our 20 Most Spiritually Significant Films of All Time: #3”

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, my cohost Amy Welborn and I continue our countdown—this time focusing on the #3 film on our respective lists. Amy begins with Elia Kazan’s 1954 crime drama On the Waterfront, while I explore Terrence Malick’s 2011 epic drama The Tree of Life. The first movie is about reclaiming personal dignity in the face of systemic corruption; the second is a cinematic meditation on creation, fall, and redemption. Both are unquestioned masterpieces.

As ever, relevant clips and links are provided below. I’ve even thrown in a Terrence Malick playlist ! 🙃 Likes, ratings, reviews, and shares are greatly appreciated!
