161: Films For All Seasons feat. Abby Olcese
Hey! This is our third weekly drop in a row and we've got a great one coming next week as well! We are back (but will probably shift back to biweekly shortly so we don't burnout)! This week, we welcome back friend of the show Abby Olcese to talk about her wonderful new book, Films for All Seasons: Experiencing the Church Year at the Movies (InterVarsity Press). You may know Abby from her work at The Pitch in Kansas City, RogerEbert.com, Paste, Sojourners, and more OR you may have seen her incredible viral tweet (possibly the last one?!). Either way, we're talking cinema and the church calendar and hope you enjoy! Topics covered include: liturgical spirituality, the horror movie fan scene in KC, finding and cultivating community during the pandemic, discovering the wonder of The Muppet's Christmas Carol, finding her grandmother's devotional notes at the perfect time, and more!
