Episode description
Things get reflective this week as our dear Patreon friend Keithan has thrown a mighty powerful gauntlet at us in the form of Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life. The 2019 Biopic marked a bit of a return to form critically for Malick after a slate of critically mixed releases from the revered filmmaker. This week, we talk about Malick's style, the way we discuss real heroic figures, doing what is right, and much, much more. So, join us as we work through this thoughtful, meditative picture.
